Tour itinerary

Day 1 Whitsunday Sailing

Start your tour by enjoying two days and nights sailing the stunning Whitsunday islands. Swim, snorkel, or laze your way around this tropical paradise, on board a flotilla yacht. NB: Twin share supplement not applicable. Then your third night in the Whitsundays will be spent relaxing and toasting the sunset on Long Island.

Day 4 Whitsundays to Cairns

It's north to Townsville to explore the scenic lookout of Castle Hill, overlooking Magnetic Island. This evening we'll check into our Cairns hotel, situated in a lush tropical setting.

Day 5 Cairns

For the adventurous, a chance to do some white water rafting on the rapids of the Tully River, or take the opportunity to visit the famous Outer Barrier Reef aboard a high-speed catamaran. Why not scuba dive amidst amazingly colourful tropical fish? Or if you prefer, maybe spend the days at leisure doing some shopping in town. In the evening we'll check out more tropical wildlife at one of Cairns' nightclubs!

Day 7 Cairns to Cape Tribulation

This morning we visit Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Centre and Kuranda to appreciate the beauty of the Atherton Tablelands. We then head for a swim at Mossman Gorge before crossing the Daintree River. From here we drive up into a world heritage listed rainforest. Awesome!

Day 8 Cape Tribulation

The opposite of tribulation. Today we'll explore the lush Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation National Park. A 'must do' is a dip in one of the many swimming holes before we head back to Cape Tribulation Beach.

Day 9 Cape Tribulation to Cairns

Crossing the Daintree River, we leave the heritage listed rainforest to visit Tjapukai and Kuranda with the chance to take a scenic ride high above the rainforest rooftop on Skyrail. This afternoon say a final farewell as your tour concludes at the Cairns Colonial Club Resort.
