In Australia's tropical north lies one of the world's most remarkable landscapes. Sparkling coral waters of a hundred shades of blue are dotted with picture-perfect islands shrouded in lush rainforest and fringed with unspoilt white sand beaches. Here is also home to one of the seven natural wonders of the world - the incredible Great Barrier Reef.
On the mainland, laid-back cities are linked by scenic coastal roads and provide an excellent base for exploring the surrounding World Heritage Sites.
Our wide range of Great Barrier Reef tailor made holidays include:
Cairns:
Vibrant, tropical Cairns offers spectacular scenery, a great range of restaurants and bars, and a seafront lagoon. It is also the gateway to two World Heritage areas - the lush Wet Tropics rainforest and, of course, the world's largest coral reef: the breathtaking Great Barrier Reef.
Cairns holiday favourites
• Wander along the esplanade with its numerous bars and cafés, particularly on a Saturday when a lagoonside market is held
• Partake in the free early morning fitness activities in and around the lagoon (four times per week)
• Take a day trip to Kuranda - the 'village in the rainforest' - and board the Scenic Railway up into the mountains, returning on the thrilling Skyrail Rainforest Cableway
• Embark on a four night Lizard Island cruise discovering the Great Barrier Reef
Whitsunday Islands:
The Whitsunday Islands are shrouded in lush rainforest and fringed by some of the world’s most beautiful beaches, turquoise waters and colourful coral reefs. Bordered by the remarkable Great Barrier Reef, this paradisiacal part of the world has a range of accommodation, from family-friendly resorts to some of the most romantic and exclusive hideaways imaginable.
Whitsundays favourites
• Take a helicopter or seaplane trip for unparalleled views of the reefs and perfectly-formed islands
• Visit Whitehaven Beach - often described as one of the best beaches in the world - and, at low tide, walk up to the lookout at Tongue Point for views of the unique Hill Inlet
• Indulge in a relaxing and rejuvenating spa treatment at luxurious Hayman Island
• Snorkel offshore or venture further afield on a diving excursion to the Great Barrier Reef
Great Barrier Reef:
Along the tropical north coast of Queensland lie hundreds of tiny islands, surrounded by sparkling turquoise waters amidst the spectacular Great Barrier Reef. North of the Whitsunday islands, Dunk, Orpheus and Lizard Islands are amongst those that have been sensitively developed so that guests need not only visit for a day, but can spend the night on a true hideaway island.
Great Barrier Reef island favourites
• Take a rainforest walk with a naturalist on Dunk Island, or enjoy its many activities from golf to watersports
• Venture out on a snorkelling trip from Orpheus Island, on the resort's own 32-feet catamaran
• Simply relax on one of World Class Lizard Island's 24 secluded white sand beaches
Port Douglas & Cape Tribulation:
Reached by a spectacular coastal road on a one hour journey from Cairns, Port Douglas is a laid back tropical oasis with sophisticated comforts and a small, friendly village atmosphere. Relax on the palm fringed golden sands of Four Mile Beach, surrounded by the beautiful Coral Sea, or venture further north to the breathtaking Wet Tropics.
Port Douglas holiday favourites
• Have a go at one of the watersports on offer at Four Mile Beach, including kitesurfing
• Go snorkelling or diving in the aquamarine reef waters of the Coral Sea
• Take a trip to Cape Tribulation and cruise the Daintree River in Mossman Gorge, home to rare birds, unique plants and estuary crocodiles
Palm Cove & Northern Beaches:
Cairns’ northern beaches are a great alternative to staying in the city. Kewarra offers a secluded, peaceful setting whilst Palm Cove is the place to be seen, with an idyllic beach plus smart hotels and restaurants, and a little more going on. Trinity Beach is nestled between two headlands and has a relaxed atmosphere and swimming enclosure.
Palm Cove & Northern Beaches holiday highlights
• Sample the restaurants and boutique shops along Palm Cove's esplanade, lined by century-old Melaleuca trees
• Indulge in a sumptuous spa treatment
• Embark on a reef excursion and snorkel with colourful marine life
• Take the family to Trinity Beach, which is patrolled and has a year-round swimming enclosure
