Looking around, the village is full of nature, and the journey from Cairns to the village was amazing!!! 🌿 However, it was very hot at the end of October, so ice cream was a must🤣

Green Island is the closest to the pier. It only takes a little over an hour to get there. It is very good for people who are prone to seasickness. You can also go to the island. The beach is white and the water is clear. The seawater is blue and beautiful. It is very suitable for playing in the sand and swimming. The snorkeling area is very large. The coral reefs and fish on the seabed can be seen in the clear water. It is just too hot and too sunny. It is a pity that the boat arrived at the hottest time and returned in the afternoon. If it is in the evening, it should be cool and comfortable on the beach.

Most of the visitors are Japanese, and there are Japanese translations, so it's reassuring. The entire facility is small enough to see in 5 minutes, so if your goal is to take a photo holding a koala, it's good value for money. You can create lasting memories and take great photos of your trip to Australia. If you're just accompanying someone and not taking photos, you can take pictures with the koalas, but it's not very cost-effective, so you might as well wait on a bench outside the facility. When we went without a reservation for the photo shoot option, the reservations for that day and the next day were already full, so I recommend booking in advance.

Overall it was great, but the boat was going too fast and everyone felt dizzy. Almost everyone felt dizzy, even someone like me who rarely gets carsick or seasick. The scenery of the Great Barrier Reef is still beautiful, and it's worth the trip!

Cairns Skydiving Company is a must-try activity when traveling to the Great Barrier Reef. While experiencing the thrill of skydiving, you can also overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire Great Barrier Reef and the Cairns coast from high altitude, which is really a feast for the eyes.

This place is amazing the koalas are so cute and all the fascinating animals catch my eye the sound of the amazing trees rang in the forest as my mind filled with wonder. Zont is the biggest croc there and the boat ride made me shacked and the show for the crocs was fantastic. The most amazing part is the six metre snake named psycho Sally it was massive in its enclosure and made us look small. All the snakes were amazing and the cassowary was so colourful the koalas are so cool and their grey fur looks like a toy. The baby croc you can take a photo with is so cool and is so special to me as it is a true place of wonders. The scenic Forest made me feel like I was living in the wilderness and it made me feel like it was my permanent home. One of the best parts is when you can feed the cassowary and koalas it makes me feel caring and they are so cute to pet. The snake show was so cool as I learned lots of new things and I think that snakes are now so fascinating instead of scary.
