Luxury Australia Tour Review: Cairns, Great Barrier Reef, Rain Forest, Port Douglas, Aboriginal Cultural Center, Helicopter...

We spent five days near Cairns enjoying the great barrier reef, the rain forest and aboriginal cultural center. Twice we were flown by a helicopter about 35 miles off shore to go snorkeling on the reef. The one Rhonda planned for us flew us out to a very large platform where we had lunch and snorkeled, returning by a large boat. The snorkeling there was not particularly special, but the whole experience was great. The private trip out of Port Douglas to a a remote sand quay on the reef for snorkeling and a picnic lunch was very special and memorable.
