Brisbane

I booked zoo tickets through Klook, and entering was as simple as showing the voucher. The Koala Forest left a lasting impression; seeing koalas scattered throughout the trees was very soothing. Feeding the kangaroos was also quite fun and a very unique experience. The kids were thrilled!

The day before the activity, you will receive an email from the travel agency informing you of the meeting time and location. Upon check-in, the travel agency staff will collect the ferry fee (AUD 80 per person, payable in cash or by credit card on-site) and attach a colored sticker to your hand (there are four colors in total for this group, with approximately 20 to 30 people per color). The trip from the Gold Coast to Brisbane takes about an hour. After picking up another group of passengers in Brisbane, the bus will head to the ferry terminal to board a 90-minute ferry to Moreton Island. The scenery on the island is beautiful! After disembarking, two color groups will head to the desert first, one color group will go to the beach for snorkeling, and one color group will go to the beach for kayaking. There will be a brief explanation of how to put on the equipment and a safety briefing on the shore. Kayaks are for two people. When the kayak slides next to the Tangalooma Wrecks, the instructor will distribute flatbreads to each boat. When the flatbread is thrown into the water, the fish will come over to eat. Because the kayak is transparent, you can clearly see the fish underwater, which is a very special experience. After kayaking, everyone will put on the same equipment and be taken in groups of six on a small boat with a floating board to the Tangalooma Wrecks. Put your head down and put your goggles in the water, and you can see many, many small fish swimming around. Getting up close and personal with marine life is really fun. The snorkeling equipment is very complete, so you don't have to worry about getting cut by the reefs. After playing in the water, there will be a 20-minute lunch break. It's a buffet, and the table will have flatbreads, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, meat and various sauces, so you can make your own tacos. There will be cold drinking water and sunscreen available next to the table. After eating, a large bus will take you to the desert area for sandboarding. The bus will play enthusiastic music, which is a special experience with the shaking of the bus. I was originally worried that my hair would be wet from playing in the water and that I would easily catch a cold on the long journey back to the Gold Coast, but I didn't expect my hair to be almost dry after sunbathing in the desert. After arriving in the desert, the leader will distribute a wooden board to each person. Everyone takes their own board to the sand dune and then slides down on the board. Each person will have 1-2 chances, and then take the bus back to the ferry boarding area. The bus will provide ice water for you to fill your own water bottles. After returning to the Tangalooma Wrecks, you can play in the water again. After the single-ticket passengers and vehicles have boarded the ferry, the group-ticket passengers can board. Because the group ticket price is lower, it is basically difficult to find a seat with a table when boarding. But after playing all day, you will be hungry on the boat, so if possible, you can prepare and bring your own fruits, biscuits, and other foods that can be eaten without a table, so you won't be hungry while watching others eat. Drinking water is not provided on the boat, so you must also prepare enough drinking water. In addition, because this is a tourist attraction visited by travelers from all over the world, you should also pay special attention to cultural differences. Some white cultures may use multiple bags and place them on multiple benches, which means that these benches may be used by someone in their group later. This is different from Chinese culture, where one item represents one person. Be careful not to sit on chairs that have already been reserved by someone else, otherwise you may easily get yelled at, since white people are still the majority on the boat.

2 activiteitentours gekocht voor de Puffing Billy-trein, Healesville en Yarra chocolaterie, evenals dagtours naar Phillip Island, Moonlit Sanctuary, The Nobbies en Brighton Beach Boxes. De tours werden begeleid door 2 verschillende bedrijven. Beide gidsen waren deskundig en multitaskten als chauffeur en fotograaf. Het inwisselen verliep probleemloos. Er was voldoende tijd bij elke stop om foto's te maken of te eten. Er waren wat kostenbesparingen in vergelijking met het individueel boeken. Aanbevolen om de pas aan te schaffen, afhankelijk van of de vermelde activiteiten plaatsen zijn die u van plan bent te bezoeken.

Een must-do snorkelervaring 🤩👏🏻 Het is heel gemakkelijk om met de boot naar Modeng Island te gaan, te genieten van de zon en het strand, te snorkelen en veel zeedieren te zien, waaronder dolfijnen en schildpadden! Het scheepvaartbedrijf zorgt ook voor ophaal- en terugbrengservice in de stad, ideaal voor gezinnen en toeristen zonder huurauto. Het jacht is erg nieuw en groot, en er zijn snacks en een koude lunch aan boord. De snorkelactiviteit vindt plaats in groepen. Onder begeleiding van professionals hebben we bijna 45 minuten gesnorkeld in de buurt van het scheepswrak! Sterk aanbevolen 😍 (vond het zelfs te kort). Onderweg zal onze instructeur ons uitleg geven en iedereen helpen verschillende zeedieren te vinden! Zeker de moeite waard!

De tour was zeker het geld waard. We hadden Rio als onze gids voor de dag, hij was erg informatief in termen van het verstrekken van een korte geschiedenis van de bezochte plaatsen en aanbevelingen voor lunchplekken, inclusief een gelateria voor die zoetekauw. Zou het zeker ten zeerste aanbevelen

Het bekijken van de zonsondergang en sterrenkijken zijn twee hoogtepunten van deze tour. Gids Michael had voor ons een picknick diner en een telescoop klaargezet. We konden de maan, Jupiter, sterrenhopen en nevels zien.

De riviercruise is goed, want we hoorden veel over de geschiedenis van Brisbane. Lone Pine is een kleine dierentuin en we brachten er slechts 3 uur door. We betaalden AUD$35 per persoon voor het koala-moment, maar we hadden slechts een paar minuten contact met een koala.

Geweldige tour, maar we hadden meer vers getapt bier achteraf verwacht 🍺 Zeer deskundige bierproever.
