I live in Cannonvale and have been over to the islands only once. I would love to go more but I find the ferry costs are quite expensive. I have a two year old son and didn't find the staff very helpful, I suffer from sea sickness and couldn't go up stairs to get fresh air because I had the pram. Ok, but could be better.

I took my two year old Son over to Hamilton Island for a day trip. The Wildlife park was without a doubt the highlight of the day, especially for my Son- he LOVED it! Being so up and personal with the animals was amazing!
