What to expect
Meet at Cairns Marlin Marina at 10:30am for the river cruise leg. You'll spend 75 minutes aboard a vessel cruising the inlet—binoculars useful for spotting wading birds and understanding the local mangrove ecosystem. After docking, head to Dundee's for lunch with views across the water. The afternoon segment involves a guided tour stopping at Cairns' key landmarks and vantage points, finishing with return transport to your accommodation. Pace is relaxed; the morning cruise requires minimal walking, and the afternoon involves short walks between stops.
Good to know
Book any dietary requirements upfront. Children under four aren't permitted on the cruise. The vessel is non-smoking. Wheelchair users should note that wheeled walkers aren't allowed aboard. Late arrival due to delayed cruise ships means forfeiture of the full tour cost—plan your transport accordingly.
