I was determined to bungy in Oz and Cairns seemed like the best place. The person I was travelling with had bungy'd in Las Vegas so I wanted to try it.
So jumping off a 50 metre/ 164 foot high tower seemed like a good idea. When we arrived on the Bungy Bus which picked us up from our hostel, I wa…

Reef Encounter does "live aboard" trips onto the Great Barrier Reef off of Cairns, for one or more nights. The Encounter is a great boat, very comfortable cabins, hot tub and good meals. It goes to two different reef sites per day, with six water sessions (snorkel or scuba - but no more than four sc…

I chose Ocean Free after reading a recommendation on this site and because my brother- (confirmed water-phobe!) had used them before. Also I didn't want to choose an outfit where I'd be one of a couple of hundred divers/snorkellers who were lobbed off a huge boat into the same patch of water. I thou…

This was the last activity I did in my three part adventure package and it was so awesome. It was only class 3 rapids but it was still a fun time. The guides that we had were funny and informative. They taught us the commands that we needed to know before heading off so we knew what we were doing…

I had a great experience not only swimming in but also flying over the great barrier reef. I saw many sharks and other sea life. However the helicopter ride was about $500.00. It was well worth this once in a lifetime experience. I just found out that next yr. I will be back visiting the ausi la…

darkarrow says:
This was the second activity in the adventure package. Since this was my first time jumping I had to do it tandem, which was fine. I rather have somebody know what they are doing if I am jumping out of a plane. When I got there they taught me the things that I needed to do when I was in the plane…

The train ride to Karunda is an event not to be missed, the old steam train takes you along a very scenic route which includes going over a long curved bridge, this is interesting because you can look out the windows and watch the back half of the train going around the curve and over the bridge, as…

I was picked up at the required 4.00 am and whisked away to the take off point in a minibus. The driver gave us all a briefing of what we would be doing, then left us alone to nod off on the 50 min journey to the take off point.
I'd opted for the 30 min flight rather than the 60, so this meant I wa…

So many colorful birds. They are so lovely, you can feed them nuts or peanuts.

I find that most road trips are boring unless you and your traveling partners are willing to take a gamble on a roadside attraction. Of course, you need to be wary because of the likelihood of a tourist trap. However, you never know until you're in.
Luckily, my mate and I discovered the Cairns …

It baffles me that the Outer Reef cruises sell for a range of prices ... from about AUD$80 to AUD$180. Some exclude fuel surcharge and the government environment levy.
You need to check carefully the inclusions and quality of locations but it isn't easy. It didn't matter to me as I was only…
