About this trip
Nine days from Brisbane to Cairns, taking in the Whitsundays, the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest at a comfortable, easy pace with a small group.
You'll sail out to Whitehaven Beach, snorkel the reef from a day cruise, swim in a crater lake in the Atherton Tablelands and walk through the Daintree with a Kuku Yalanji guide. There's a gondola ride over the rainforest canopy to Kuranda and a river cruise where crocodiles are a good bet.
It's built around comfort-level accommodation and a relaxed schedule, so there's room to explore towns like Port Douglas or Cairns at your own pace between the bigger days out.
