Itinerary

Arrive in Cairns and transfer north to Port Douglas for a guided tour. Return to Cairns and meet your fellow travellers tonight over a Welcome Dinner. Stay Two Nights: Cairns, Crystalbrook Flynn (D)

After your magical Insider Experience, enjoy a relaxing evening in beautiful Cairns, Far North Queensland's tropical paradise known for its laid-back lifestyle, markets, beaches and outdoor life, and a drawcard for travellers from all over the world for decades. (B/L)

Insider Experience: Experience the colourful coral and marine life at Moore Reef, where you will have the option to snorkel or perhaps stay dry as you view the reef from a semi-submersible vessel. Visit a unique underwater viewing platform and observatory to watch the fish feeding. You may also like to take a scenic helicopter flight over the reef or an exciting diving experience (additional expense).

Enjoy a scenic Insider Experience this morning. Later surrounded by rainforest, experience the peaceful oasis of Millaa Millaa Falls. Continue onwards to beautiful Mission Beach. It's hard to beat the location of your resort, just steps from the sand. Sit back, relax and take in your epic surrounds over dinner this evening. Stay: Mission Beach Resort (B/D)

Insider Experience: Ride above the rainforest aboard the Kuranda Skyrail Rainforest Cableway to Kuranda.

Enjoy a tour of the tropical city of Townsville, surrounded by rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef. Travel to Airlie Beach where you'll board a ferry for your journey through the Whitsunday Islands, arriving at the picturesque resort of Hamilton Island. Stay Two Nights: Hamilton Island, Reef View Hotel (B/D)

Insider Experience: In the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, Hamilton Island is one of the only inhabited islands in the Whitsundays and it's certainly one of the most spectacular. You have two nights here to lap up this spectacular tropical setting.

Enjoy a whole day to yourself on Hamilton Island. Wade into the water and snorkel right off the beach and discover the region's many species of tropical fish. Or pick a quiet patch of sand for a day of relaxation. You might even choose to venture further afield on a cruise to Whitehaven Beach (additional expense). (B)

Board your return ferry transfer from Hamilton Island to the Port of Airlie. Then re-join your coach and travel to Rockhampton. Known as the beef capital of Australia, more than 2.5 million head of cattle is farmed within a 250-kilometre radius of the city. Wide streets and fine Victorian architecture reflect the region's wealthy 19th-century gold and copper mining boom, as well as the successful cattle industry. Enjoy a casual dinner with your group this evening. Stay: Rockhampton, The Regent Hotel (B/D)

Head south to Hervey Bay and enjoy a ferry crossing over to World Heritage-listed K'gari (Fraser Island). Spend the afternoon relaxing at your resort before dinner. Stay Two Nights: K'gari (Fraser Island), Kingfisher Bay Resort (B/D)

Today you'll discover the world's largest sand island with a half-day guided tour. Bounce along sandy tracks through lush rainforest, explore sparkling freshwater lakes. Then, with an afternoon at leisure, perhaps visit the historic wreck of the Maheno – a Trans-Tasman liner that was driven ashore during a cyclone in 1932. Alternatively, make the most of the island's many walking tracks, or simply relax on a peaceful stretch of white sand with a good book. (B)

Take the ferry back to Hervey Bay and continue to the Sunshine Coast where you'll have free time to relax before a Farewell Dinner. Stay: Maroochydore, Holiday Inn Express & Suites Sunshine Coast (B/D)

After breakfast, spend the morning at leisure. Perhaps enjoy a refreshing swim in your hotel's rooftop pool, take a stroll along Maroochydore Beach or explore the town . Later, enjoy an Insider Experience before arriving in Brisbane where your tour will conclude. (B)
