Tour Description:
Saying a fond farewell to Sydney, we set out on the coast road through Taree. We stop at a koala breeding park and sanctuary before heading onto our first night's accommodation at Coffs Harbour. Continue up the coast to Byron Bay and walk out to Australia's most easterly point. Look out for dolphins playing in the surf. The sun and sand will wash away the strains of everyday life!
Our next stop is one of the tour’s highlights - Moreton Island. After a short ferry crossing to Moreton Island we'll spend two full days exploring one of the world's largest sand island by 4WD vehicles and staying in a fisherman's cottage. Explore old shipwrecks, wonder on deserted beaches, sand toboggan on the dunes and swim in crystal clear lagoons.
Enjoy the coast before crossing the Tropic of Capricorn at Rockhampton and entering the tropical zone. Arriving in Airlie Beach we have come to the gateway of our expedition to the Whitsunday Island Group, some of the most picturesque sailing in the world. With suntan lotion and swimming costume in hand it’s time to embark on an island cruise. The choice is yours between a day on a fast Maxi sailing yacht or to catch a launch to discover the underwater observatory and several of the island resorts. In the evening you can check out a live band & the local nightlife.
Heading further north along the coast we spend two nights relaxing at Mission Beach. For those with a strong sense of adventure there is adrenaline pumping white water rafting or sea kayaking. Alternatively take the daily boat service out to Dunk Island and try the unsurpassed rainforest hikes or even muster the courage to go tandem sky-diving. For a more leisurely day simply lounge on Mission Beach and work on your suntan. The choice is yours.
We make our way to Cairns for our included full-day sailing cruise to the Outer Barrier Reef. Try scuba diving, (no experience needed), hand feed the fish or snorkel among the vibrant coral in the warm tropical waters. A day you will remember for the rest of your life.
