Sailing Whitsundays & Great Barrier Reef

Welcome to paradise! Airlie Beach is the perfect place to kick off the next 9 days as you meet your new group and get to know each other with a lovely welcome dinner. Enjoy a free night to explore this coastal town's tranquil waters and buzzing nightlife.

Get ready to set sail! We'll head to the marina and get ready to make our converted racing yacht your home for the next 2 nights. There is no better place to glide around than the Whitsunday Islands, catch some rays up on deck and enjoy a freshly prepared lunch and dinner - sounds perfect, doesn't it? 

Don't get to pack your snorkel! You won't be able to resist a dip in the sea and the marine life is stunning! We'll stop off on the picture perfect Whitehaven beach and all your meals will be prepared ready for you to revitalise. 

Wake up early to catch a stunning sunrise reflecting off the water before hopping back to shore. A train journey packed with the best Aussie East Coast views will take us to Townsville, where we'll board a ferry to magical Magnetic Island. Take some time to explore the island's lush nature and wildlife as we treat you to a delicious dinner and a drink as the sun sets. 

Start off this amazing day with an unlimited freshly cooked breakfast with some special guests, Koalas! You'll be spoilt for choice on how to spend your day - enjoy the gorgeous views of the Palm Island Group on the Forts Walk, visit WWII fortifications or soak up the rays on the beach with a beer in hand. Hang out with Rock Wallabies and spend the evening with a perfect sunset, hanging out in local bars. 

Wave goodbye to your new Koala besties, hop back on the ferry, back to Townsville and then continue along the coast, ready for an afternoon in the wonderful Cairns. Get ready for a Make Travel Matter tutorial and dinner from an experienced chef, a more than ideal way to set up the next few days! 

Today is loaded up as a memorable Make Travel Matter day! Enjoy one of a kind tour of Daintree, the oldest tropical rainforest in the world. This place is brimming with luscious greenery and an abundance of ancient canopies. If you're not already sold, David Attenborough named it 'the most extraordinary place on earth' so it truly is special. Get educated on Aboriginal culture and craft a special souvenir that you can keep as a reminder of this epic day! 

If you're missing the ocean, take the opportunity today to hop aboard a catamaran over the world famous Great Barrier Reef! Jump in with a snorkel to see the wonderful ecosystem, with the marine crew informing you on all you need to know about marine life. 

Tick off some bucket list experiences as an epic end to this trip! What's a better way to say goodbye to your new friends than soaring through the jungle on a giant swing or bungee jumping off the world famous AJ Hackett Bungy Tower. Take a dive out of a plane, hang above the rainforest on a Skyrail, or speed down Barron River White Water Rafting. Cairns is famed for these thrill seeking activities and you won't want to miss out! Say your goodbyes to your group and start prepping your next trip down under!
