This 4-day Australian vacation takes you along the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest in northern Queensland. It features first-class accommodations and shared tours.
Your journey begins in Cairns in far northern Queensland, where you’ll connect to Port Douglas and Shantara Resort & Spa, your 4-star, adults-only boutique resort for the next several nights. Explore the waters of the Great Barrier Reef, the world’s largest living structure, on a cruise to the Low Isles. Snorkel through protected coral gardens and swim off white-sand beaches. You can also ride in a glass bottom boat for intimate views of the undersea life. Then head along the coast from Mossman to Cape Tribulation to explore the Daintree Rainforest. Cruise the Daintree River to spot Estuarine Crocodiles in the water. Reach Alexandra Range where you can admire views of the rainforest meeting with the Coral Sea. Stroll along the boardwalk to keep your eyes peeled for the elusive cassowary and other jungle wildlife. After a barbeque lunch, you’ll go for a rainforest swim in Emmagen Creek before searching for sea turtles and butterflies in the forest and ending the tour at Cape Tribulation Beach.
At the end of your stay, connect back to Cairns for onward travels.
