Reviews: Free turtle plush toy - Cairns Reef Magic Moore Reef Great Barrier Reef 1-day tour
Guest User2025-11-03
I'm so disappointed that the photo service is gone ㅠㅠ I saw the Napoleon fish that I wanted to see so badly, but I just passed by with my eyes 😭 People without a GoPro have no way to take a picture even if they saw it right in front of them 😭★

Guest User2024-11-07
Second time Fillroy Island. When I snorkel alone last time, I saw sea turtles 𓆉. This time, when I went to the beach behind the island with my daughter, I saw Napoleon fish 〜＼ (^ o ^) ／ I was lucky.
