Tour Description
Say a fond farewell to Sydney as we set out on our camping
adventure. Leaving via the harbour bridge, we travel the
coast road through Taree. We can stop en-route at a koala
breeding park and sanctuary before heading onto our first
night's accommodation in Coffs Harbour.
Travel up the coast to Byron
Bay and walk out to Australia's most easterly point. Look
out for dolphins playing in the surf. We continue to vibrant
Surfers Paradise, as the stresses and strains of everyday
life disappear.
Picking up our 4WD vehicle
we take a barge out to Moreton Island, where the worlds
highest sand dunes await you. With miles of deserted white
beaches and inland forests dotted with crystal clear lakes,
this is the highlight of the trip for many. Well hike
some of the trails, visit the Tangalooma Wrecks and maybe
view dolphins, fish or pods of whales in season. You can
also explore the shipwrecks and swim in the Blue Lagoon
a naturally formed perched lake. As good
as Fraser
Island without the crowds.
Enjoy the coast before crossing
the Tropic of Capricorn at Rockhampton and entering the
tropical zone. Arriving in Airlie Beach we have come to
the gateway to the Whitsunday Island Group and some of the
most picturesque sailing in the world. With suntan lotion
and swimming costume in hand its time to embark on
an island cruise. The choice is yours between spending a
day on a fast Maxi sailing yacht or catching a launch to
discover the underwater observatory and several of the island
resorts. There is time for a jet ski or just lie around
the pool. In the evening you can check out a live band &
the local nightlife.
Heading further north along
the coast we spend two nights relaxing at Mission Beach.
For those with a strong sense of adventure there is adrenaline
pumping white water rafting or sea kayaking. Alternatively
take the daily boat service out to Dunk Island and try the
unsurpassed rainforest hikes or even muster the courage
to go tandem sky-diving. For a more leisurely day simply
lounge on Mission Beach and work on your suntan. The choice
is yours.
We make our way to Cairns
for our included full-day sailing cruise to the Outer Barrier
Reef. Try scuba diving, (no experience needed), hand feed
the fish or snorkel among the vibrant coral in the warm
tropical waters. A day you will remember for the rest of
your life. Your journey ends at our
gateway hotel or we can drop you off at your own accommodation.
