Top Nature Reserves in Queensland

I recommend booking your snorkeling trips at least a day in advance. Some spots fill up quickly and you don’t wanna miss out on the good ones!

My advice is to take an underwater camera. I regret not bringing one along! The reef is gorgeous and you'll want to capture those moments.

Don't just stick to the popular spots! I thought exploring the lesser-known parts of the reef was way more peaceful and there were fewer crowds.

I think doing the sunset cruise was a highlight for me! The views are breathtaking and it’s a great way to wind down after a busy day. Don’t miss it!

I think bringing a refillable water bottle is a must. It’s hot out there, and you can refill it at various stations throughout the zoo. Stay hydrated!

If you're planning to eat there, skip the cafe and pack a picnic! The grounds are perfect for a lunch break, and it saves you some cash too

Be mindful of the sun! I forgot sunscreen and regretted it big time. Wear a hat, and maybe bring a lightweight blanket for those nice shady spots!

I recccomend getting there early, around 9 AM, to beat the crowds and enjoy the animal shows without feeling rushed. The koala encounter was my fave!

My advice is to wear comfortable shoes! You'll be walking a lot, and some areas are a bit hilly. Trust me, your feet will thank you later!

If you want to get that perfect selfie with a koala, timing is key! Try to visit during feeding times for the best interaction.

I recommend visiting on a weekday, especially around 10 AM, when the crowds are smaller, and the animals are more active. It makes for a relaxing experience!

Bring your own snacks or lunch! The food at the café can be pricey, and the picnic areas are perfect for enjoying a break with a view.
