Shangri La The Marina Cairns

5. What was the highlight or highlights of the trip?
Horizon Club Room - beautiful views and club inclusions. We were absolutely spoilt and treated to a special menu from the head chef each night!
Scenic Helicopter Experience over the Great Barrier Reef – Thank you to the team at Nautilus Aviation for taking care of us. This 45-minute flight is by far one of the best ways to experience the reef from above. The crystal-clear turquoise water and getting an appreciation of the reef’s true scale is incredible.
Private yacht charter and snorkelling experience on the Reef – The team at Passions of Paradise created a personalised experience for us to snorkel the Great Barrier Reef right off Cairns. With our private mooring it felt like we had the whole ocean to ourselves.
These guys are passionate about Eco Tourism and practice what they preach about sustainability on the reef.
6. Your recommendations or must do for other travellers?
Rain, hail or shine, visit the reef!
Rent a luxury vehicle for the day and do the scenic drive up to Port Douglas with the roof down with the team at Cairns Luxury Car Hire.
Thank you to our travel and tourism partners at Shangri La The Marina Cairns, Nautilus Aviation, Passions of Paradise and Cairns Luxury Car Hire for showing us around your beautiful city and helping us experience the best of Cairns and the Barrier Reef.
