Relaxing day - Lovely relaxing day. The crew were friendly and welcoming. We had tea and scones while admiring the scenery and listening to the commentary. Lunch at the Breakfast Creek was veey nice and we also sampled some beer before our trip back. A really enjoyable day

River Relax - This tour (River Cruise) would have to have been one of the best things we did when we were in Cairns. Unfortunately, we don’t have the best sea legs, so at least adventurous, and calmer water activity suited us. The team at Cairns adventure group were amazing, they were friendly and welcoming! Captain Jack took us on the river trip and he was very knowledgeable about the area and have lots of stories to tell us! It was a wonderful way to spend a morning out on the water…

Excellent Cairns mangrove sightseeing - We had a great experience with Cairns River Cruises. Our guide and skipper, Jack, was very knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. It was a relaxed atmosphere, and we learned loads about Cairns, its maritime history, and the ecosystem of the mangroves. Jack also had lots of colourful stories about the ships and wildlife of the inlet. I would highly recommend Cairns River Cruises to anyone looking to enjoy a cruise of the inlet for an hour and a half.

Fun facts - Boat ride through the Trinity Inlet was smooth and the skipper Jack was not only was he knowledgeable but he made the talk interesting with a laugh in between. Jack was happy to answer all our questions and would highly recommend an introduction to the mangroves and history of the boats Michelle and family from WA Busselton

- This was a calm little boat tour, and our guide (Jack from Leeds?) was great and we learned a lot about the local economy. We also learned about the mangroves, funnel spiders, and crocodiles... but fortunately, we only saw mangroves.

A tour for two!! - The check in process was easy. As it turned out we were the only passengers that day and time so feeling free to ask questions was made even easier. Our driver/guide, Jack was very knowledgeable and engaging. It was a wonderful way to see the harbour and inlets and learn a little about the region. Would highly recommend.
