Overview

Trip Overview

Nestled between the Great Barrier Reef and the lush, tropical rainforest of North Queensland, Cairns is your ideal base for exploring both on this 4 day itinerary.

Travel to the very edge of the Great Barrier Reef where you can snorkel, dive, or stay dry in an underwater observatory or semi-submersible craft to meet some of the 1200 species of fish and 500 species of coral that call this magical place home. Back on dry land, climb aboard an amphibious army duck for a trip into Kuranda’s scenic rainforest, where an authentic taste of Aboriginal culture including a ‘Dreamtime’ walk and the chance to throw a boomerang await.

Crystalbrook Flynn

3 Night Stay

Meal Plan: Room Only

Fun and energetic, Crystalbrook Flynn is a social butterfly - the natural life of the party. Just steps from the Esplanade boardwalk, feel like you’re at the centre of the action. Prepare to be entertained. Breathe, take the plunge, unwind a while, then do it all again.

Crystalbrook Flynn

For an experience of a lifetime, Quicksilver's wave piercing catamarans and friendly crew will take you to a reef at the very edge of Australia's Continental Shelf, to an underwater world that is a dazzling kaleidoscope of colour and brilliance. Agincourt Reef is a magnificent ribbon reef where you can experience first-hand the magic that is the Great Barrier Reef. Choose to dive (extra cost), snorkel, or stay dry and explore the stunning reef from the comfort of a semi-sub, just one metre underwater. Watch the fish feeding from a unique underwater viewing platform and underwater observatory, or fly in a helicopter over the reef (extra cost). Whichever way you choose; you'll bring home a lifetime of memories from this living natural wonder.

You will then be transferred to Rainforestation Nature Park, where you will enjoy a delicious Australian BBQ lunch, a guided tour of the rainforest on board an amphibious Army Duck, and the Pamagirri Aboriginal Dance performance, followed by the Dreamtime Walk. You will learn how to throw a boomerang, see a spear-throwing demonstrations, and learn about aboriginal culture.

A guided tour of the Koala and Wildlife Park will commence at the Cultural Centre. Your coach will then transfer you to Kuranda Skyrail Terminal for the 7.5 kilometre Skyrail Rainforest Cableway journey down the mountain. Your coach will then return you to your accommodation.
