Map of Tropical Suntanner 2011 - 12

DAY 1 THE WHITSUNDAYS

Meet your fellow travellers at the resort town of Airlie Beach, before we all board the yacht that'll take us around the beautiful Whitsunday Islands for the next couple of nights. Prepare to enjoy yourself, this is truly an amazing corner of the world. (D)

 

DAY 2 THE WHITSUNDAY ISLANDS

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have arrived in Paradise. Sail across azure waters, discovering remote beaches and colourful coral reefs. Soak up the sun, swim in the tropical ocean, take a turn at the helm and indulge in some stargazing by night. (B, L, D)

 

DAY 3 THE WHITSUNDAYS TO CAIRNS

Taking our leave from these idyllic islands, we set sail for dry land and Airlie Beach. Then we’ll head north, travelling through Townsville to our final destination of Cairns. Get a feel for the local nightlife with dinner at a local restaurant (own expense) and perhaps a visit to the night markets. (B)

 

DAY 4 CAIRNS

An exhilarating combination of reef meets rainforest, Cairns offers fun for all kinds of visitors. Today you’ve got plenty of optional activities to choose from, including diving on the Great Barrier Reef, white water rafting, skydiving, quad biking or even hot air ballooning! Tropical North Queensland is your oyster – tell us all about it over dinner (own expense). (B)

 

DAY 5 CAIRNS 

Get a feel for the rainforest today, as we visit the nearby village of Kuranda – discover the community’s arts and crafts. We’ll all visit Koala Gardens and get up close and personal with some of the local wildlife, including an optional koala cuddle. Then you can take the optional Skyrail back to Cairns, which glides metres above the rainforest canopy. Once in Cairns we reach the end of our journey.

 

Please note that this trip forms part of the Island Suntanner trip, days 10 - 14.
