Being a premium package we expected everything to be seamless and mostly it was, reef trip and rainforest day were fantastic, just felt some of the transfers between activities had unnecessary waiting around.
Cairns over six nights gave us the perfect mix of reef, rainforest and culture without ever feeling rushed, would recommend this to any family looking to do something beyond the usual beach holiday.
Daintree Rainforest walk was fascinating even for the children who normally get bored on nature trails, the guide made it engaging with little challenges along the way.
Cairns Esplanade Lagoon in the evenings became our kids favourite part of every single day.
The Daintree and Tjapukai days truly delivered, but one of our two booked reef days was cancelled last-minute for weather and the alternative offered was thin, a real disappointment on a trip we'd chosen specifically for the Great Barrier Reef.
The Mossman Gorge walk with Kuku Yalanji guides taught our kids more about Aboriginal culture in two hours than any classroom lesson could, genuinely moving experience for the whole family.
