Australia & New Zealand Tour Review: Queenstown, Cairns, Sydney Bridge Climb, Bungee Jumping, Bike Ride

Queenstown hotel was situated right by the lake and just on the edge of the center of town.  It was so convenient. One of our scheduled activities was canceled by the company due to fog a the river.  We found an alternative…Bungee jumping!  Was a great adventure.  All other tours suggested by the travel agency were fun.  Enjoyed our 2hr guided bike trip in Sydney and got to see areas we would never have, otherwise.  Sydney Bridge climb was amazing.  Would recommend selecting a time when there is still some daylight at the start to be able to see the city.  But definitely have the last part at night to see all the lights of the city.  We also were there during the annual Vivid Festival of Lights.  It is absolutely amazing and highly recommended going during those three weeks.  In Cairns, Kurunda via the Gondola and the Skyrail train was spectacular.  If you get the Rail Gold class, definitely do the train back as the food and drinks were great…..crackers and cheese variety, dried fruit, sorbet, wine, champagne, beers and soft drinks.  After a full day, we thoroughly enjoyed being pampered by our two attendants.  We borrowed bikes and helmets provided free of charge from our hotel.  Cairns has a tremendous amount of designated paved bike trails along the water and park area along the Esplanade.  It was relaxing and we were able to cover a lot of ground in the two hours before our next scheduled tour.  It was appreciated we had buffet breakfasts included at all our hotels.  Variety was abundant and saved valuable time.
