Sample Itinerary

Friday - 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.

Saturday - Snorkellers come face to face with clouds of intensely coloured reef fish. Passengers in the glass-bottomed boat hear our

marine naturalist describe life among the coral bomboras of Hedley Reef. A whole day to explore these coral gardens
Sunday - A breathtaking cruising passage through the Hinchinbrook Channel. Enjoy the spectacular vista of densely forested mountains, mangroves and sun-drenched beaches in the morning mist. Our marine naturalist explains the channel’s diverse habitats that shelter species from dugongs and dolphins to migrating whales.In the high rainforest canopies of Dunk Island exotic bird and plant life abounds. There is life too at the island’s resort where you can drop in for a quiet drink, a hit of tennis, a round of golf or a swim.
Monday – After breakfast we arrive Cairns. Enjoy freetime in port or choose from a variety of complimentary half day tours including a visit to Kuranda Village via the scenic skyrail, the Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park or a small-boat wildflife cruise of Trinity Inlet. This afternoon we depart for Green Island.
Tuesday - Visit remote Cooktown where in 1770, Captain James Cook, sought refuge by the river. A century later thousands came in search of gold.

Meander across fringes of white sand, don snorkelling gear to explorer 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.
