Nothing spectacular but a nice little trip around the inlet with a pleasant informative driver. Great way to spend the late morning
Cheers for the feedback :)
Lovely relaxing day. The crew were friendly and welcoming. We had tea and scones while admiring the scenery and listening to the commentary. Lunch at the Breakfast Creek was veey nice and we also sampled some beer before our trip back. A really enjoyable day
Thankyou for your review, Elaine. We love to hear that you had a lovely relaxing day :)
This tour (River Cruise) would have to have been one of the best things we did when we were in Cairns. Unfortunately, we don’t have the best sea legs, so at least adventurous, and calmer water activity suited us. The team at Cairns adventure group were amazing, they were friendly and welcoming! Captain Jack took us on the river trip and he was very knowledgeable about the area and have lots of stories to tell us! It was a wonderful way to spend a morning out on the water…
Wonderful! We are so glad to hear that it was one of the best things you did in Cairns! We hope to have you join us on the river again soon :)
We had a great experience with Cairns River Cruises. Our guide and skipper, Jack, was very knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. It was a relaxed atmosphere, and we learned loads about Cairns, its maritime history, and the ecosystem of the mangroves. Jack also had lots of colourful stories about the ships and wildlife of the inlet. I would highly recommend Cairns River Cruises to anyone looking to enjoy a cruise of the inlet for an hour and a half.
This makes us so happy to hear! We love to hear that you had a great experience and that Jack was knowledgeable, friendly and engaging :)
Boat ride through the Trinity Inlet was smooth and the skipper Jack was not only was he knowledgeable but he made the talk interesting with a laugh in between. Jack was happy to answer all our questions and would highly recommend an introduction to the mangroves and history of the boats Michelle and family from WA Busselton
Thankyou for your review, Michelle and family :) It makes us so happy to hear that the boat cruise was smooth and that Jack was knowledgeable and answered all questions :)
Very knowledgeable guide (who was also from Yorkshire!), knew all about the area, boats, history etc, good value tour of the inlet and mangroves. Thank you.
Wonderful! It is great to hear that the captain was very knowledgeable :)
This was a calm little boat tour, and our guide (Jack from Leeds?) was great and we learned a lot about the local economy. We also learned about the mangroves, funnel spiders, and crocodiles... but fortunately, we only saw mangroves.
Thankyou for your review! We are glad to hear that you got to learn a lot about the local ecosystem while cruising around the Inlet :)
Very interesting small tour, max 12 guest. There were only 5 of us. Soft drink included. Very informative tour around the inlet.
Thankyou for your review Doreen! We are so happy to hear that it was a very informative tour around the inlet :)
The check in process was easy. As it turned out we were the only passengers that day and time so feeling free to ask questions was made even easier. Our driver/guide, Jack was very knowledgeable and engaging. It was a wonderful way to see the harbour and inlets and learn a little about the region. Would highly recommend.
Wonderful, thankyou for your review! We are glad to hear that you got to enjoy a relaxed cruise around the Trinity Inlet with Jack :)
We really enjoyed this. Belinda was an awesome guide. Very knowledgeable, funny and interesting. Local history and current information. Some really quirky stories we loved and lots of nature information too. Nice relaxing trip down the inlet.
Perfect, thankyou for your review! We are stoked to hear that Belinda was an awesome guide!
