Cairns Discovery Tours is such a wonderful company. They all were essential in giving us an unforgettable experience on our first trip to Cairns. Maryanne is so friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful in finding perfect excursions for us. Her Daintree Rainforest tour with the awesome Jeremey as our guide was truly amazing ! On top of all of this, everyone was so kind and helpful to recover and return to my wife a lost sentimental bracelet. I can not thank them all enough for making our vacation so special and memorable. You are all the best !
Daniel
A nice brief introduction to Cairns. The commentary from our guides really helped in the understanding of the city and the sights. Good to go for this half-day tour to get a feel of the city.
Janice
We arranged 3 day tours from Cairns with Cairns Discovery tours, one to Fitzroy Island, one to Green Island and one to Kuranda . From the initial telephone contact to the conclusion of the tours, Maryanne was so helpful and professional. Booking and payment was easy, follow up information meant we knew exactly where to meet and what we would expect to see and do, when and where to check in on the day . I can thoroughly recommend booking with Cairns Discovery Tours.
Cathy
Excellent great overview of Cairns. Liked the collection to and from our hotel. Graham ("G") was friendly, jovial and funny. We did, however, feel that Graham rushed us a little at times. We really liked the Botanic Gardens stop - we are both not gardeners but found the talk & short circuit walk there very informative and interesting. We missed the sunset at Palm Cove (left the area too early) - I had been looking forward to that, for I am an avid amateur photographer. The church visit was unusual & the stained glass windows were detailed & fun to check out. Overall, it was a great tour. Thank you.

Hi Maryanne, thankyou. You gave a great advise to visit Frankland Islands and it was a good advise. . It was a very memorable experience too. The crew, especially Noila and Kelly were great hosts and they looked after everyone very well. The entire journey to the island was very scenic with sugarcane farms , very arty clouds and the hills. The lunch was good. The visitors must know that there are no washroom facilities in the Island so they must be adequately prepared. Hotel pick-up is a good option. We will visit Cairns again, I will request your help again.
