Sample Itinerary

Monday - Your first port of call is Green Island where you can join the Marine Naturalist for an escorted walk, board a glass bottom boat tour or relax with a cocktail at the resort pool.

Tuesday - Visit remote Cooktown where in 1770, Captain James Cook, sought refuge by the river. A century later thousands came in search of gold. Today’s visitors find a quieter place with a rich history to explore. In the afternoon we sail for Two Isles.

This tiny cay fringed by white coral-sand beaches is a sanctuary for rare bird species and occasional sea turtles, and perfect for snorkelling.
Wednesday - Surrounded by exceptional fringing reefs, Lizard Island is the jewel of the Barrier Reef. Meander across fringes of white sand, don snorkelling gear to explore acres of coral, step into a glass-bottomed boat and dawdle over the giant clam gardens off Mrs Watson’s Bay, or hit the trail up Cooks Look like a true explorer.
Thursday - Snorkel in bright clear water over staghorn, fan, sea whip, brain and boulder corals as giant potato cod, rays, reef sharks and coral trout swim below. Aboard our glass-bottomed boat, the marine naturalist illuminates the extraordinary habitat of Ribbon Reef No.5 unfolding before your eyes.
Friday morning we reach Cairns once more.
