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!

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 😊

The most impressive attraction to us is Army Duck Tour. The ranger was funny and knowledgeable. He introduced different plants and habitats in the rainforest. In addition, there were a few koala, wallabies and wildlife to see. Quite an interesting place to play a half day visit.

Overall, it was pretty good. The service was excellent; for those prone to seasickness, they provided bags, tissues, and ice. The environment has been severely damaged; the coral bleaching is quite bad, and there are no red corals left. Green Island is still quite beautiful. We were on a glass-bottom boat, so the view was a bit limited compared to a semi-submarine.

However, it was very hot at the end of October, so ice cream was a must🤣

The most fun rafting, no doubt about it. The journey lasted more than four hours, and it was exciting and combined with team spirit. Although it was tiring and sunny, the experience was absolutely invincible and it is a must-do rafting in life.

Overall it was great, but the boat was going too fast and everyone felt dizzy. Almost everyone felt dizzy, even someone like me who rarely gets carsick or seasick.
The scenery of the Great Barrier Reef is still beautiful, and it's worth the trip!

The Tully River is a river section in Australia suitable for rafting. We depart from the city and Northern Beaches hotels at 6:30 in the morning, arrive at Raging Thunder for registration, and drive for about 1.5 hours to reach Tully. The full-day rafting time is 5 hours, with an Australian barbecue lunch on the riverbank in the middle.
