Customer Reviews
We took this tour while in Cairns on a cruise. The young fulla driving the boat and being the tour guide was hilarious and really made the trip memorable. He even acknowledged that it is Aussies who are the sheep shaggers, not Kiwi's😆🤣 The tour took about an hour and takes you around the river and Cairns waterfront.
Was an amazing experience! Although the weather was not up to par and were lots of clouds, Joe and his colleagues were super transparent about it. Joe was an amazing tour guide and kept everyone entertained! Thank you Cairns River Cruises and Joe for a wonderful time.
Unfortunately for us this tour was a very bad one. It was very overcast and therefore unable to see the sunset ( but we had a nice rainbow though 👍). As advertised " Your skipper is a Cairns local and expert guide who will be happy to share lots of local knowledge with you on your tour too!", we were unlucky too because we had an apprentice who was still learning the ropes. Hardly any information and very hard to hear, maybe invest in a microphone with speakers? One drink and a small packet with cheese and crackers were included in the price. I know we should give youngsters a chance, I am sure he will get there one day but for now the whole trip was very amateurish and a waste of money. This is not how it should be presented to tourists but reading the other reviews, it just wasn't our day.
