Tips for Family

Helicopter Flights

If budget allows, a flight over the reef offers a perspective you don't get from the boat.

Avoid the Crowds

Book tours that visit the 'Outer Reef' to find clearer waters and fewer people than on nearby islands.

Indigenous Respect

Be respectful of sacred sites and ask permission before photographing indigenous people in cultural contexts.

Tips

They are not mandatory in Australia, but 10% is appreciated in high-end restaurants for exceptional service.

Tap Water

It is perfectly drinkable and of excellent quality throughout the city.

Insect Repellent

Essential if you go to the jungle to avoid mosquito bites and sandflies.

Water Safety

NEVER swim in rivers or beaches where there are signs of crocodiles. Always use the guarded areas or the artificial lagoon.

Sun Protection

The Queensland sun is extremely strong. Use factor 50+ sunscreen, a hat and seek shade.
