Everything you can experience at Moore Reef is beyond your imagination. The Sunlover Great Barrier Reef Cruise departs daily from Cairns Ferry Terminal to the new Moore Reef Offshore Platform, where you can discover and explore the unparalleled wonders of the Great Barrier Reef. On this offshore platform, you can spend a day participating in various interesting activities, as well as admiring the beautiful Great Barrier Reef from all angles. On this luxury offshore platform 40 kilometers from Cairns, you can explore the mysterious underwater world up close. Moore's Reef Platform is the world's premier marine experience platform, designed to accommodate visitors of all ages and abilities, allowing everyone to experience the magnificent Great Barrier Reef in comfort. Fitzroy Island, part of the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, is one of Cairns' most accessible tropical getaways. Just a short 45-minute boat ride from Cairns, this lush rainforest island is celebrated for its coral beaches, fringing reefs, and vibrant marine life. Unlike typical continential islands, many of Fitzroy's beaches are formed from crushed coral, built up over thousands of years. These remnants of ancient reefs were gradually reshaped and displaced by hundreds of tropical storms, creating the island's uniquely textured shores that embody its deep connection to the Great Barrier Reef's natural history.

Kuranda is a small town near Cairns, because it is very close to Cairns, it has become a day trip choice. In the 19th century, it used to be a summer resort for the upper class, and now a large number of tourists still come here by train or aerial cable car every day. 1. Overview of attractions: Although the town of Kuranda is small, it is located in the tropical rain forest with extremely beautiful scenery. The towering century-old trees, the cascading waterfalls, the trickling streams, the rare wild animals, and the fragrant and fragrant flowers on both sides of the road all give Kuranda a picture of a paradise-like beauty. . 2. Kuranda Tropical Rainforest Park: About 5 minutes' drive from Kuranda Town, located on the highway. The park offers three ways to play: ride through the rainforest and tropical fruit orchards in an exclusive amphibious amphibious vehicle; watch the Parmajiri Aboriginal dance show, watch how to throw boomerangs and archery, and play the didgeridoo; and See koalas, kangaroos, wombats and the murderous crocodile known as "Devil Jack". 3. There are shuttle buses at the entrance of the Butterfly House Tropical Rainforest Park every day to the Butterfly House not far away. The Butterfly House is located on 8RobVeiversDrive in the center of the town. There are more than 1,500 kinds of butterflies living in it. You can watch it in the internal incubation laboratory. See how the larvae of butterflies grow in response to changes in the environment, and when these larvae grow up, they can be placed in the open space to fly. Please wear bright clothes so that when you enter this room, there will be butterflies big and small around you. 4. Birdworld: BirdworldKuranda is also located on RobVeiversDrive, which is very close. The living environment of more than 80 kinds of birds is simulated here.

Falls Lookout: The Falls Lookout (BarronFallsLookout) on BarronFalls Road, south of Kuranda, is a viewing point in North Queensland that receives thousands of tourists every day. 6.

The scene was definitely beautiful, we took the cableway around 3PM and was not too hot. Gaby was amazing, we originally purchased the wrong time and wrong departure location. She was able to help us make it right. We also missed our original booked time but the staffs allowed us to get on. Everyone is so nice here 😊

There are staff members who speak Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean. There are many Chinese staff members, so communication is not a problem. The sea is very beautiful, and the itinerary is well-planned, making it a great day trip!

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🤣
