Cairns 2 Day Package Tours | Cairns Hot Air Balloon Ride & Great Barrier Reef Combo Deal | XMR
Save up to $36 per person on our great value Cairns Combo Package Tour Deal
This awesome combo tour deal combines two of Cairns' most popular and breath-taking activities – snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef and gliding silently through the sky outside of Cairns on a hot air balloon ride!
On day one you will board a fast and stable power-catamaran for the cruise out to the Great Barrier Reef from Cairns. Once there you will disembark onto a spacious two-level floating pontoon that is permanently moored in one of the best snorkelling and diving locations on the outer reef.
Enjoy 5 hours of snorkelling, swimming, eating, drinking and relaxing on the reef, with heaps of different activities to keep both adults and kids entertained.
Be sure to get an early night after your Great Barrier Reef tour because on day two you will get up early to experience a sunrise like never before.
Taking off near the small farming community of Mareeba, around one hour west of Cairns, your hot air balloon will float gently into the sky to watch the land slowly fill with light as the sun rises.
Enjoy amazing views of the farmlands, creeks, forests, hills and valleys below as the wind carries the balloon softly through the sky.
Great Barrier Reef Tour
Enjoy your Great Barrier Reef tour on a 2-level outer reef pontoon snorkelling, swimming, relaxing and spotting a huge variety of marine life from tiny clown fish to giant clams.
All high-quality snorkelling equipment and instruction are provided and you have unlimited snorkelling for the 5 hours you will spend on the outer Great Barrier Reef.
If you'd prefer to stay dry, you can still experience the wonderful underwater world of the reef in the underwater observatory on the pontoon or during a ride in a glass-bottom boat.
Kids will love the fish feeding show where giant trevally, red bass and other pelagic fish get into a feeding frenzy close to the pontoon. Parents can also relax knowing the kids are safe in the swimming enclosure designed just for little ones.
Enjoy morning and afternoon tea plus a delicious hot and cold buffet lunch all included.
Cairns Hot Air Balloon Ride
Experience the majestic sight of sunrise from the air on the Atherton Tablelands on this awesome hot air balloon ride.
Getting up extra early will definitely be worth it when you watch the giant balloon take shape as it slowly fills with hot air, soon to be carrying you and other lucky riders calmly and silently over the beautiful landscape west of Cairns.
Enjoy 360 degree views of the Atherton Tablelands near the small farming town of Mareeba. Orchards, fields, rivers, forest and farmhouses dot the landscape as it slowly fills with light as the sun rises, creating a picturesque backdrop for your hot air balloon ride.
You will have 30 minutes of flight time to enjoy the vistas as far as the eye can see, before the balloon slowly touches back down on the ground. On your transfer back to your accommodation you will see a range of Cairns' landscapes, from dry open savannah to thick tropical rainforest to lush farmlands.
