Most visitors start their Koala Photo experience from major cities such as Brisbane or Gold Coast for Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, or Cairns for Kuranda Koala Gardens. These cities offer easy access via car or shuttle services to the sanctuaries. International travelers typically fly into Brisbane, Gold Coast, or Cairns airports before making the short journey to the wildlife parks.

A unique local aspect of the Koala Photo experience is the opportunity to gently hold or pat a koala under expert supervision, creating a personal and memorable encounter. The sanctuaries combine wildlife conservation with tourism, educating visitors about koala habitats and behaviors while ensuring the animals’ welfare. This blend of hands-on experience and environmental awareness makes Koala Photo distinctively authentic.
