Your Itinerary

Cairns

Day 1: Arrive Cairns. Arrive Cairns airport and make your own way to your hotel for the next 6 nights. Cairns, considered the gateway to Australia's Great Barrier Reef, is a city in tropical Far North Queensland. Its Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park tells the stories of indigenous Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with music and dance. Cairns Esplanade, lined with bars and restaurants, has a swimming lagoon. Northwest of the city, Daintree National Park spans mountainous rainforest, gorges and beaches.

Great Barrier Reef

Day 2: Great Barrier Reef Cruise & Snorkelling Tour Set out from Cairns Pier for a day of snorkelling and sightseeing on the Great Barrier Reef. Your captain will choose amongst 12 exclusive moorings at 6 reef locations based on the water and weather conditions, making sure you get the best experience to be found. Seasoned dive masters are on hand to provide an in-depth briefing on your gear and what to expect at each site. Relax aboard the vessel as you leave the Australian coast behind and get your gear ready for some quality time in the sea. With outer reef locations chosen for their variety and the striking contours of the ocean floor, you're in for an outstanding experience when you plunge into the water. Once you've had a chance to mingle with the amazing sea life of beautiful corals and tropical fish, kick back aboard the vessel to enjoy a barbecue lunch before you cruise back to shore. The Great Barrier Reef is home to marine life of the most vivid colours and eco systems.

Daintree Rainforest - Cooper Creek Wilderness

Day 3: Day Tour Daintree Forest & Cape Tribulation After hotel pick up, we spend a day exploring the ancient Daintree Rainforest and its incredibly diverse tropical ecosystem with an expert guide. Cruise down the Daintree River and walk through the Daintree Entomological Museum before venturing further to the Cape Tribulation National Park. Dating back 135 million years, the rainforest is one of the oldest in the world and is now home to one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world. Your guide takes you first to the Daintree River, where you enjoy morning tea before stopping on board a cruise. As you float down the gentle current, look for birds, frogs, crocodiles, and even flying foxes in the flourishing nature around you. Following your cruise, take lunch by the Daintree Entomological Museum before touring its fascinating exhibits, which house the largest live and dead collection of insects in Australia. Your afternoon is spent visiting the Cape Tribulation National Park.

Admission Included

Green Island

Day 4: Green Island Cruise. Depart from Carins Pier. Cruise to Green Island, the only coral cay in the Great Barrier Reef with a lush rainforest. Spend the day exploring this protected Marine National Park—immersing yourself in this undersea universe teeming with coral and marine life. This 6000-year-old coral cay boasts its own rainforest—the only of its kind in the Great Barrier Reef. Upon arrival, step ashore to soak up the turquoise waters, glittering sand, and fringe of emerald palms ringing the island. Climb into a glass-bottom boat to get an up-close look at the brilliant colonies of zany Brain Coral, orange sea stars, and scores of blue damselfish flitting to and fro. If you're craving a swim, strap on a snorkel and mask to see everything up close: black and white angelfish feeding on sponges and striped clownfish nestled amongst anemones. Emerge from the water to amble around the island at your leisure. Relax on the beach to soak up the sun cruising back to Cairns.

--Important-- you are better off booking elsewhere! If anything happens, you will have no refund and by booking seperately, you will get your payment back. My husband and I was looking forward to visit this part of Australia and thought this package seemed really interesting. However after booking and paying for the trip we found out that there was going to be a cyclone there (Jasper). We told the operator we could delay our trip by a couple of days but soon it was clear that a trip to Cairns would make no sense with the extreme weather conditions. I asked the operator twice to give us a refund. He refused and told me that every ting would go ahead as planned but if we didn’t go they would understand but we still would not get our money back. I have called all the activity providers to see if they went through with the planned trips. Only one did, and the rest of the trips were cancelled. They all told me we would get our money back, but as it seems the money goes to the operator and not us. I would recommend to book the hotel and each of the trips directly to the activity providers. They have a 24 hours cancellation policy and are flexible. I have worked many years in the tourism industry and I have traveled the world, but I have never had an experience as bad as this! No flexibility, no service!
