|
|
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. |
