    "Sea World Park is small and long. Be optimistic about the performance time of each venue and arrange play time. If you don't watch the performance, you will be finished in two hours. There are many penguins in the Penguin Pavilion, which is very interesting. There are many types of fish and children will like it. But this price is inflated, and it is incomparable with domestic ocean parks. Not cost-effective"

    "My visit to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is a wonderful one. The sanctuary is well maintained and offers a very good opportunity to get up close to most of the Australia’s wildlife. In the Sanctuary, visitors are able to hold a koala and it was an unforgettable experience for my family. Beside the koalas, the sanctuary is home to various animals which includes kangaroos, wombats, and Tasmanian devils. My family enjoyed feeding the kangaroos, which were tame and gentle.

    No.1 of Water Fun Attractions in Queensland
    Highlights: The Great Barrier Reef runs through the northeastern coast of Australia and stretches for more than 2,000 kilometers. It is the largest and longest coral group in the world. The Great Barrier Reef consists of more than 600 large and small coral reef islands, which are colorful and beautiful. The central coral reef island has become the iconic attraction of the Great Barrier Reef. 1. Attraction overview The Great Barrier Reef is home to a huge coral kingdom and thousands of marine life, as well as deep undersea cliffs, undersea tunnels and caves. Whether you are taking a helicopter to get a bird's-eye view of the corals or diving deep into the sea, you can truly appreciate it. Feel the magic of nature. When you come to the Great Barrier Reef, you can sign up for diving or semi-submersible ships to explore the underwater world. Of course, if you want to experience sailing out to sea, you can rent a variety of boats (from high-speed speedboats to catamarans) to ride the wind and waves and sail out to sea. You can also go on a cruise, depending on your time and preferences. If you want a more free sea experience, you can take a speedboat. In addition, overlooking the Great Barrier Reef by helicopter is also one of the projects not to be missed here, overlooking the world-famous Heart Reef from the air; riding a hot air balloon over the Atherton Tableland, the experience of going into the sea is not enough! 2. National Park There are many national parks near the Great Barrier Reef. In addition to the Daintree Rainforest (Daintree Rainforest), which is also a world natural heritage, there are many unmissable secret gardens waiting for you to slowly discover. Explore wildlife at Cape Tribulation and Nara Inlet on Hook Island, where rock art from the Ngaro people remains. Tourists can hire a professional guide to take you to the tropical rainforest, experience swimming, barbecue and other items in the national park. 3. Traveling methods To visit the Great Barrier Reef, you need to go to sea. Generally, you choose to start from Cairns or the Whitsundays. The Great Barrier Reef is mainly divided into the inner barrier reef and the outer barrier reef. The inner barrier reef is close to the city, and the outer barrier reef is far away from the city and has less pollution. Therefore, you must carefully choose the area you want to go according to your personal needs. 4. Daydream Island The main feature of Daydream Island is the various water sports and SPA on the island, bathed in the fragrance of nature, daydreaming here is better than sleeping.

    Highlights: Gold Coast Paradise Teal operates 7 days a week, with at least 5 sailings a day, and the journey takes about 1 hour. Gold Coast's unique amphibious duck boat can drive like a bus on land, and it is a ship when it is driven into the water. From the centre of Surfers Paradise, the duck boat journey follows the boulevard all the way to Broadbeach on the Gold Coast. There is a guide and a captain on the duck boat. The car will first take tourists to browse the city, and then drive to the special pier to slowly launch into the water. The tour bus will immediately transform into a cruise ship. The guide will introduce you to the famous and wealthy waterside villas on both sides of the river. Observing wild animals is also fun. Full explanation. In areas where there are few boats, children can also sit in the driving seat and be the helmsman with the help of the captain. At the end of the duck boat tour, the guide will issue a helmsman certificate with their name on each child who has sat in the driver's seat.

    "Today we had a koala breakfast experience to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We had 3 generations to attend. I thought it would be the ability to have breakfast with the koalas near us and to be able to take pictures.. I was wrong. It was a complete morning outing. Breakfast was great, with fruit plates, muffins, croissants and jam, full hot breakfast, tea, coffee and juice! Sleepwalking! We were with koalas to take photos. We had a training session and were taken to several pens on the spot. The feeding time is up and all the koalas are awake and moving. We are willing to be with a lot of people, pat and take pictures. It was all done through our koala breeder, jenniel, who was great and enthusiastic. After that we went to professional koala pictures.. Each ticket brings one ... so five pictures! They are all great. Thank you our photographer Sarah. Then you can visit the site that day.. A great day, it exceeded all expectations.. Thanks to the Paradise National Team."
