Day 1.

Arrive Cairns and drive to Thala Beach Lodge, 38 km and around a half hour drive North of Cairns and 16 km south of Port Douglas. Relax on the 2 kilometre long private beach or swim in the sea or the rock pools attached to the resort, set in 145 acres of tropical rainforest.

Day 2.

From the village of Port Douglas, take a catamaran, dive boat or sailing ship out to the ribbon reefs at the outer edge of the Great Barrier Reef. There are many options including the idyllic Low Isles 20 minutes east of the mainland, a catamaran to the sandy bays of Upolu or Michaelmas and snorkeling on the fringe reefs surrounding Green and Fitzroy Islands. Venture further out to the Norman, Moore and Arlington Reefs where pontoons are located to service the larger day cruise vessels or take a scuba dive with equipment and trained dive masters to assist. If diving or snorkeling isn’t your thing, view the reef from the comfort of a semi-submersible or an underwater observatory. Have dinner in Port Douglas.

Day 3.

Spend the day exploring the Daintree and Cape Tribulation National Park — you can drive, or take a 4WD Nature Safari trip including cruise boat trips on waterways which explore, the jungle homes of birds, animals and reptiles including large crocodiles and pythons. Night is also a good time to experience the rainforest ad its eco-systems as many of its inhabitants are nocturnal After dinner spotlighting walks are a highlight for many visitors to the tropical rainforests. Visit the Bloomfield Falls and Cape Tribulation, remembered in Australian history as the point where Captain James Cook's barque, The Endeavour, sustained grave damage on an off-shore reef.

Day 4.

Spend the day exploring the area to the South of Cairns. Just out of Cairns is the small village of Kuranda and close by are the Barron falls. You can take a trip on the worlds longest gondola cableway stretching 7.5 km across the rainforest canopy, an excellent way to view the falls. Drive along the coast where the rainforest reaches right to the beaches in some points. There are plenty of good walking tracks to explore along the way. White water rafting trips are an option today as well as exploring Mission Beach and Dunk and Bedarra Islands.

Day 5.

Return to Cairns.
