🇦🇺 You HAVE to Visit Cairns at Least Once in Your Life!

Australia’s ocean is absolutely stunning! I spent 3 days in Cairns—here’s my honest take: 📍 Day 1: Sydney → Cairns ✈️ 6 AM flight with Jetstar (⚠️ strict baggage check! 15kg = $47 AUD) 🧥 Pro tip: Bring a jacket—flights get freezing! 🏨 Hotel: Sunshine Tower (10-15 min walk to Night Market & beach). 🗺️ Cairns CBD is tiny (like Xi’an’s grid layout!). 📍 Day 2: Green Island Snorkeling ⛵ Booked via GetYourGuide (12:30 PM departure, 45-min boat ride). 🤿 Snorkeling = MUST-DO! But… 💩 Bird poop smell hits HARD on arrival. 📵 No signal + meh "Aussie café food" on the island. 📍 Day 3: Kuranda Rainforest 🚂 Day tour via Booking.com (8:30 AM pickup). Scenic train (2hrs) → Kuranda town (2hrs free time) → Skyrail down. 🌧️ Rain ruined the vibe (but train/cable car views = gorgeous!). 🦋 Town highlights: Butterfly Sanctuary, croc exhibits, souvenir shops. 😐 Verdict: "Meh" experience, but nature = 10/10. 📍 Day 4: Back to Sydney ✈️ Jetstar again (…just don’t, if you can avoid it). 💭 Final Thoughts: 🏝️ Cairns = giant resort town (not a "city" vibe!). 📶 Weak signal everywhere + no big malls (pack patience!). 💙 Still worth it for the NATURE! #CairnsTravel #Australia #GreatBarrierReef #Kuranda #TravelDiaries #JetstarSurvivalGuide 🌴✈️
