Went with the glass bottom boat option since our younger one can't swim yet. Turned out to be magical for all of us anyway, colours underwater were stunning. Crew explained the reef ecosystem in simple terms the kids actually understood. Would recommend this option even if your family can swim.
Kids were thrilled snorkelling over the Great Barrier Reef. My daughter still talks about the clownfish she found near the boat.
Evenings at Cairns Esplanade became our nightly family ritual, ice cream in hand watching the sunset.
Mossman Gorge walk with the whole family was so peaceful. Our guide explained indigenous history in a way even our restless teenager listened to. The rainforest itself was cool and quiet, a nice break from the tropical heat. Genuinely one of the more meaningful mornings of the whole holiday.
Cairns Lagoon saved us on the hottest afternoon of the trip. Kids refused to get out of the pool area until well past dinner time.
