Frequently Asked Questions
At Trinity Wharf terminal, right downtown. It's one of Australia's most convenient berths: the town, the Esplanade and the excursion jetties are all within walking distance of the gangway.
Yes. The Reef Fleet Terminal, where catamarans leave for the reef, is a seven-minute walk from the cruise terminal. Trips run full or half day, with snorkelling, diving or semi-submersible viewing.
Yes, three ways: the semi-submersible from the reef pontoons, a seaplane or helicopter flight, and the viewing platforms. The gradients of blue seen from the air are the image most passengers take home.
A large public saltwater swimming pool edged with sand, in the middle of the Esplanade. It's free and lifeguarded, which makes it the easiest swim of the call — especially since sea swimming in the warm season is limited to stinger-netted areas.
Two ways that form a loop: the Skyrail cableway, 7.5 kilometres skimming the rainforest canopy with stops at boardwalk lookouts, and the Kuranda Scenic Railway, which descends the Barron Gorge through tunnels and past waterfalls. Most excursions combine both.
One major outing, not two: either the reef or Kuranda. Each takes a half day. If time is short, the Esplanade, the Lagoon and the botanic gardens are all walkable and fill a morning pleasantly.
Take care: in the warm season, sea swimming is limited to stinger-netted areas. The Esplanade Lagoon remains the simplest and safest option during a port call.
Very much so. The Lagoon, the pelicans and wading birds along the Esplanade, and the Skyrail and Kuranda train all appeal to children without demanding long walks, and everything starts from a town centre you can reach on foot from the ship.
The dry season, May to October: more bearable heat, calmer seas and better underwater visibility. The wet season brings heavy heat, downpours and stingers in the sea.
Grilled barramundi, tiger prawns and tropical fruit at the marina restaurants — the local mango, in season, is worth the trip on its own. Esplanade cafés pull a very respectable espresso, a legacy of Italian migration to north Queensland.
