It is recommended to live in Shangri-La, it is convenient to eat and walk around, 200 meters from the pier. The outer Barrier Reef is worth going, and you have to go early. Now the coral color is less, the activity is degraded, and the effect of going late is even worse. Merchant service is very good, always track orders.

The scenery is not imagined in the United States and the United States. It is still almost worse than the islands in Southeast Asia. The buffet lunch is a bit pitted. It is said that it is a seafood buffet. There are very few things. The seafood only has shrimp and no fish. The coffee is charged separately.

As expected, there were creatures in the rainforest in Cairns and aquariums, and the more interesting I looked at it, the more interesting I looked at it. 😂 And the colorful coral was beautiful! (This is a living coral! !! laughter)

Although the boat journey is large, it feels worth it after arriving at the Great Barrier Reef! The water is very clear and the corals are very diverse; there are also different fish. The sea is large and snorkeling is more difficult. It will be more fun if you choose a non-rainy season!

The plane skimmed low.. The blue beauty of Tiffany in front of us is suffocating. We took a helicopter from Hamilton Island. After passing through Hill Bay and White Paradise Beach, we flew about 20 minutes to the sea between the deep and shallow sea beds. This time we have entered the Great Barrier Reef. Arrive at Heart Reef Heart Reef Pilot will specially remind and fly low

Cairns' indoor dome wildlife park, which houses many unique Australian animals including kangaroos, koalas, and crocodiles. They all live here leisurely, very interesting, and definitely worth visiting.

It was a very long and open beach! The wind is comfortable and I think it's the best for a beach picnic ✨✨ There was a place where you could barbecue along the sea 🍗 However, it was a pity that it was raining a little 💧

The Great Barrier Reef is divided into the Inner Barrier Reef and the Outer Barrier Reef. The difference is that the Inner Barrier Reef is closer to Cairns. There are many people but the coral and sea scenery are far less than the Outer Barrier Reef. The Outer Barrier Reef is far away from Cairns. The Moore Reef is the closest to Cairns. The Outer Barrier Reef is very crystal The colorful coral reefs, which are located on the seabed's tiny white sand beds, are a wonderful sight whether they are sitting on a helicopter overlooking the entire Great Barrier Reef or diving into the sea to watch various tropical fish shuttle between the corals.
