I GUESS THIS BOAT IS ONE OF THE BEST BOAT IN CAIRANS TO TAKE PICURES WITH AND STAY ON. SO BEAUTIFUL!! I JUMPED ON THE BOAT AT 8AM AND I REACHED THE FIRST REEF AT 10AM. I WAS OUTSIDE OF THE BOAT DURING THE CRUISING. IT WAS VERY COMFORTABLE AND BREATHTAKING. I WAS IN FRONT OF THE BOAT AND SITTING ON THE CHAIR. SO BREEZY AND COMFORTABLE. NOT MANY PEOPLE WERE OUTSIDE OF THE BOAT SO IT WAS NOT SO OVERPOPULATED AND IT WAS REALLY NICE AIR. THE SCENERY WAS QUITE NICE AND FANTASTIC.. IF I WANTED , I COULD TO SLEEP ON THE SUNDECK. THERE WAS ENOUGH SPACE ON THE BOAT. THE OCEAN WAS BLUE BLUE BLUE... I THOUGHT IT WAS LIKE PAINTINGS... I DIDN'T THINK IT TOOK 1.5 HOURS FOR THE CRUISING. IT WAS FANTASIC TIME. DURING THE CRUISING, THE STAFF GAVE US THE SAFTY BRIEFING ABOUT SNORKEL AND DIVING. IT WAS NOT BORING BECAUSE THEY TRIED TO BE FUNNY AND INTERESTING. THAY HAD A HUMOR!! THAT'S GREAT !! AFTER REACHING THE FIRST REEF, I DID SNORKELLING AND INTRO DIVING. I COULD SEE MANY COLORFUL FISH AND TURTLE. AND MANY PEOPLE SAW BIG FISH AND TURTLE AND CACY SHARK !!

AND THEN THE SECOND REEF, DURING THE SNORKELLING, I REALIZED THAT THE SCENERY WAS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE BROCHURE PICTURE. THE REEF WAS COLORFUL AND BEAUTIFUL. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME TO FELL EXCITED AT SNORKELLING TO BE HONEST. THE RETURN WAY TO CAIRNS WAS ALSO NICE. I COULD SLEEP ON THE SUNDECK AND OUTSIDE CHAIR.

I visited some places on this tour but specially, LAKE in the morning was quite awesome. Great scenery was there. on the lake birds were playing and during cruising, you can find wild animals and great sensation. you can get morning tea and cakes if you chose option A or B!! If you chose option C you can walk around the lake . curtain tree was great and MILA MILA FALL was fantastic. when we get there, everybody said "WOW!!". you can chill out in the place and if you want you can swim as well. In Inisfel, you can eat buffet lunch which is Italian. The variety was pretty good and you have enough time to eat. After that you will go to Paronella Park. In the place, you can join a guided tour and you can walk around by yourself. There was enough time to enjoy. The water fall which was located next to the Paronella Park was incredible. You shouldn't miss it. Through this tour, you drive in country side of Cairns. Farms and Factories. You can relax through this tour. This tour was one of my favorite tours.&nbsp;</p>]]></description> <pubDate>Thu, 25 Aug 2016 06:48:25 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item><title><![CDATA[GREAT BARRIER REEF - REEF MAGIC-]]></title><link>https://www.treknorth.com.au/blog/YUYAREEFMAGIC/</link> <description><![CDATA[<p>I went to REEF MAGIC CRUISE TOUR on 17/08/2016 (WED). The day was supposed to be a rainy day but it was a sunny day. In the inlet, the water was not clear but getting more far from the cairns marina, it was getting supreme. I was really surprised at the water clour. I had known the quality of the water but I didn't imagine that it was such a awesome. It was like a <span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">GOD PAINTING</span>. I cannot believe the colour is made by the nature in this world. In terms of the boat, It was really good and big enough. Not so tite. and Top deck was very breezy, very confortable. As for the PONTOON (PLATFORM) on the MOORE REEF was really good. I relaxed and ate lunch there. there is a top deck as well and you can sleep and get tunned there. I tried seabob and intro DIVE.&nbsp; This was the first time for me to do both. i thought seabob was the good machine for snorkelling because I don't have to worry about even big wave. About intro Dive, The instructor told us anything all the time. That's why I realized that I didn't have to worry about anything during DIVING. On the bottom of the sea in outer reef, I saw the reef forest in the water. It was like an ATRANTIS. It was the legend. <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">After this tour, I didn't think I had spent 8 hours for it</span>.</span> I can say "<strong>OUTER REEF IS SUPREME</strong>".</p>]]></description> <pubDate>Thu, 18 Aug 2016 04:56:37 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item><title><![CDATA[Reef Magic Cruises  - Marine World]]></title><link>https://www.treknorth.com.au/blog/LenaReefMagic/</link> <description><![CDATA[<p>The day on reef magic was just perfect. I did one certified dive and they brang us with a little boat a little bit more away from the platform, that we dont have to dive around or under the platform what I thing is really good. The dive was good and we also swam into little caves what I liked. After the dive we came back to the platform and ate the best buffet lunch i've ever had with so many different things to choose. I also tried the Seabob what is the best thing on the whole platform. It was so much fun cruising around with the Seabob and also diving with it and we also saw 2 turtles when we did the Seabob what was so amazing and made the day to one of the best days for me on the great barrier reef.</p>]]></description> <pubDate>Fri, 12 Aug 2016 11:29:33 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item><title><![CDATA[Kuranda Day Tour with Train and Skyrail and coach transfer]]></title><link>https://www.treknorth.com.au/blog/LenaKuranda/</link> <description><![CDATA[<p>We had a really lovely day in Kuranda. We went up with the train and the view was just beautiful. They had also a commentation on board that what told us a lot about the train and the things who come next or we can see outside. In Kuranda by itself I had a look at the markets and I love them. Cute little markets where you can have a look around and do a little bit of souvenir shopping and also a view restaurants where I had a very good lunch. We went back with the Skyrail and it was also a beatiful view over Cairns and the ocean and we could also see Green Island from the Skyrail!. Train, Skyrail and Kuranda is really worth it to do if you spend some time in Cairns.</p>]]></description> <pubDate>Fri, 12 Aug 2016 11:18:09 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item><title><![CDATA[really cool trip to Daintree with trek north]]></title><link>https://www.treknorth.com.au/blog/LenaDaintree/</link> <description><![CDATA[<p>It was a lovely day. our driver Mario told us everything about the Rainforest and answered all our questions.

You imparted your love and respect for the Daintree with all the information provided you us with.</p><p>On the way home we were puzzling over the identity of 7 -12 black birds cruising the thermals above Wangetti Beach at Rex Lookout. After some research, I think I have ascertained that they would be Lesser Frigate Birds, or maybe Greater Frigate Birds. They are said to be reasonably common in the south-west Pacific, breeding from Queensland to Fiji. Because of their marauding habits -swooping on other seabirds and harrying them until they disgorge whatever they have- they are also called Man-o'-War Birds. &nbsp;Just another titbit of information you can share with your travelers if you spot the birds again.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks for a great day</p><p>Christine Scothern</p><p>&nbsp;</p>]]></description> <pubDate>Sun, 07 Aug 2016 04:42:43 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item><title><![CDATA[Premium Daintree and Cape Tribulation Tour]]></title><link>https://www.treknorth.com.au/blog/StephanieCapeTribulation/</link> <description><![CDATA[<p>Glad I booked this tour. <br /> Friendly tour driver whom explain everything and a lot knowledge of rainforest.

Nice train trip includes 10mins stop at Barron water falls which is incredible view. Today is raining day, we can't see view too far on Skyrail. But I like the boardwalk at Barron Falls Station. <br /> It's a nice day with nice trip.</p>]]></description> <pubDate>Mon, 25 Jul 2016 02:30:36 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item><title><![CDATA[Cape Tribulation jungle day Tour]]></title><link>https://www.treknorth.com.au/blog/CAPE-TRIBULATION/</link> <description><![CDATA[<p>The bus driver MARIO was awesome. He explained to me about the nature (Plants, Animals..etc). he was really friendly and kind.&nbsp; Cruising on the Dain tree river is my favorite. We tried to see many kinds of animals and plants, specially BIG crocs and TINY crocs were fantastic. I've seen some crocs before, but I felt here was the BEST PLACE to enjoy to see crocs. And of course, during the cruising I could relax. After going into Cape Tribulation, I couldn't connect the internet. I forgot everything of my social life while I was in Cape Tribulation. I just enjoyed the relaxing time. At last, I chose STEAK LUNCH and it was really delicious. I ate salad, bread ,steak and watermeron by very clean water cleak. It was completely memorable tour. Thank you.</p><p>We learned about the white lipped tree frogs. They make lots of strange noises when it has been wet. Leigh Alan Jorgensen said it was for mating purposes because the water helps them procreate.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>]]></description> <pubDate>Sun, 03 Jul 2016 00:19:34 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item><title><![CDATA[Cape Tribulation]]></title><link>https://www.treknorth.com.au/blog/Manon/</link> <description><![CDATA[<p>My daytrip to Cape Tribulation with Trek North was incredible. We traveled in just a small bus, which was really plesant because I could always hear my great tour guide Mario and his insightful onroute commentory. This gave us the chance to ask him ots of questions. He was very knowleageable and friendly. I really enjoyed listening to him, the way he informed you about everything was very interesting. He also cooked our lunch at a privat lunch location which resided next to a beautiful Creek - my personal highlight of the day! A turtel was swiming in the crystal claer water during our delicious Aussie BBQ. What more can you ask for? <br /><br /></p>]]></description> <pubDate>Tue, 31 May 2016 01:50:04 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item><title><![CDATA[Daintree Cape Tribulation]]></title><link>https://www.treknorth.com.au/blog/CapeTribulation/</link> <description><![CDATA[]]></description> <pubDate>Mon, 30 May 2016 00:29:54 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item><title><![CDATA[Cape Tribulation Tour]]></title><link>https://www.treknorth.com.au/blog/Daintree/</link> <description><![CDATA[<p>This tour was one of my highlights in Cairns. A full day of exploring Daintree, the oldest rainforest in the world. Especialy the river cruise was great, seeing crocodiles, snakes, and other fascinating Aussie animals. Even got to see a cassowary, amazing! With lunch and tea included, didn't need to bring anything at all. The guided board walk gave me an insight into the rainforest's history which is absolutely impressive. And looking at Cape Tribulation from the lookout is a spectacular view. Not to be miss.</p>]]></description> <pubDate>Sun, 29 May 2016 04:30:27 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item><title><![CDATA[Kuranda Tour]]></title><link>https://www.treknorth.com.au/blog/Kuranda/</link> <description><![CDATA[<p>I have spent the full day on my Kuranda tour and enjoyed it alot. Going up by skyrail and seeing all the different forest parts is amazing. Especially the giant Barron Falls and the Red Peak offer an unforgetable view of the scenery. Afterwards strolling through Kuranda with all the markets, restaurants, and cafes gave me time to relax. Going on the rainforestation tour was so much fun, stroking kangoroos and seeing so many Aussie animals like koalas, wombats, dingos, and much more! Later experiencing the rainforest with a historic Army Duck, vehicle able to go on land and in water. Glimpsing the diversity of butterflies and plants, all presented and explained by a knowledgable tour guide. Great trip definitely worth seeing when staying in Cairns.</p>]]></description> <pubDate>Thu, 26 May 2016 05:00:05 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item><title><![CDATA[Daintree Rainforest Tour]]></title><link>https://www.treknorth.com.au/blog/daintree-rainforest-tour/</link> <description><![CDATA[<p>The Daintree and Cape Tribulation Rainforest was voted a World Top 10 Incredible Tropical Paradise and world famous Naturalist, Sir David Attenboroughs favourite jungle.
