The Great Barrier Reef Reviews

I went to the Barrier Reef as part of my holiday in Cairns. I went with the people who run the boat "The Falla". The Falla is an old wooden boat that has been maintained so that tourists can enjoy a more authentic experience than they'd get if they were going on a cruise liner. The folks on the Falla sailed us out to a part ...  Read the complete review

We visited the Great Barrier Reef in November 2007. My husband and I went on a day trip with Great Adventures, which we booked the day before at the ticket desk on the wharf in Cairns. It's also possible to book at the tourist office in town. We chose a trip which included a stop at Green Island on the way out to the reef. This was an ...  Read the complete review

The Great Barier Reef is an amazing area of natural beauty. It is set off the coast of North East Australia in the state of Queenstown. It is made up of an amazing ray of different colours of coraland is simply stunning! We experienced it in two ways. 1) We went on a day trip on a catamaran from Cairns. We went with a company called ...  Read the complete review

For my 50th review on Dooyoo, I wanted to write about something very special. Whilst I dabble in other reviews, travel reviews are what I like the best and whilst I have a number of reviews in the pipeline, it seems very appropriate that this review is about The Great Barrier Reef. I hope you enjoy the review as much as I enjoyed the ...  Read the complete review

The Great Barrier Reef, what can say apart from WOW! Having never been to a destination like this before I didn't know what to expect apart from having seen it in books or on TV. The reality of it was a million times better than any photograph. I travelled from Cairns with a day-tour company to the outer reef which has not suffered from quite as ...  Read the complete review

As part of my recent holiday in Australia I was determined that I would visit the famous Great Barrier Reef (GBR) off the East coast. My cousin and I flew to Cairns from Adelaide - via Sydney and Brisbane (that's another story!) We arrived at our resort at 2.30am and were picked up by a coach at 7.45am for our drive to the quayside to ...  Read the complete review

The Great Barrier Reef remains for me one of the most stunning places I have ever seen on my many travels. Australia is a great natural habitat and has many wild and beautiful terrenes that although vast and difficult to get at sometimes knock you out with the pure scale of them. Cairns is the main gateway to the reef although The ...  Read the complete review

If you are in Australia I guess that the great barrier reef is a must. However be prepared to be disappointed. It is a long journey from Sydney or even Brisbane. To reach the reef you will have to go on a boat or plane. Either way is potentially expesive. The accomodation seems very expensive although my experience is only of ...  Read the complete review

I went to Heron island just off the Great Barrier Reef after it was recommended to me by a friend and although it took me over a year of saving to be able to pay for this holiday, it was truly worth the wait. I'd never heard of the island before but fell in love with it after seeing just a few photos. Heron is the only international ...  Read the complete review
