Gateway to two World Heritage wonders - comfortable tours designed for seniors
View Our ToursWelcome to Cairns, the tropical gateway to not one, but two UNESCO World Heritage listed natural wonders! This stunning region offers the perfect blend of the Great Barrier Reef's underwater paradise and the ancient Daintree Rainforest, the oldest living rainforest on Earth.
From snorkeling the vibrant coral gardens of the Great Barrier Reef to cruising through pristine rainforest waterways spotting crocodiles, exploring the mountain village of Kuranda, and experiencing Aboriginal culture, our carefully designed tours showcase the very best of tropical North Queensland at a comfortable, senior-friendly pace.
Cairns is the only place in the world where two World Heritage sites meet - the Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics Rainforest. The Daintree Rainforest is over 180 million years old, making it older than the Amazon. At Cape Tribulation, you can stand where the rainforest literally meets the reef - an extraordinary natural phenomenon!
Cruise to the spectacular Outer Great Barrier Reef on a comfortable catamaran. Spend 3-4 hours at a reef pontoon with snorkeling, glass bottom boat tours, and underwater observatory. Perfect for swimmers and non-swimmers alike. All equipment and lunch included.
Explore the world's oldest rainforest! Visit Mossman Gorge, cruise the Daintree River spotting crocodiles, walk on Cape Tribulation Beach where rainforest meets reef, and enjoy exotic fruit ice cream. Includes morning tea, lunch, and guided walks on sealed paths.
Journey through the rainforest on the historic Kuranda Scenic Railway, then glide back on the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway. Visit Kuranda village markets, see Barron Falls, and choose optional wildlife attractions. A classic Cairns experience combining history and nature.
Visit beautiful Green Island, a coral cay just 45 minutes from Cairns. Relax on white sandy beaches, snorkel in calm waters, walk rainforest tracks, or explore from a glass bottom boat. Choose morning, afternoon, or full day options. Perfect for a relaxed reef experience.
Journey along the spectacular Captain Cook Highway to stylish Port Douglas. Visit Mossman Gorge for a gentle rainforest walk, explore Four Mile Beach, browse the village's boutique shops, and enjoy lunch overlooking the Coral Sea. Beautiful coastal scenery throughout.
Experience both World Heritage wonders! Day 1: Great Barrier Reef cruise with snorkeling and reef activities. Day 2: Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation with river cruise and rainforest walks. The ultimate Cairns experience combining our two most popular tours.
Travel in modern, air-conditioned coaches designed for the tropics with easy access, comfortable seating, and large windows for viewing the stunning scenery. All Great Barrier Reef tours use stable catamarans with shaded decks, rest facilities, and accessible boarding. We pick up from hotels throughout Cairns and the Northern Beaches.
Our friendly guides are passionate locals who know Cairns and Tropical North Queensland intimately.
