Welcome to Cairns! Upon arrival, you'll be met by your private driver who will transfer you to North Queensland. You'll spend the next few nights in Mount Mulligan, where you can experience the spirit of back-country through a captivating landscape with indigenous significance dating back 37,000 years. Explore by ATV and safari to Tyrconnell Gold Mine.
Today you'll be transferred to the Daintree Rainforest. Daintree is the oldest tropical rainforest, dating back over 135 million years, and is often referred to as the "jewel in the crown" of Australia's natural wonders. Take a dip in the spring-fed Mossman River, grab snorkel, and fins to explore the underwater world or float gently along in a kayak.
After a road transfer and flight, you'll land in Lizard Island, perched on the northern edge of the Great Barrier Reef. Here you'll have sensational snorkeling and diving opportunities and access to a motorized dinghy that will allow you to reach secluded beaches all around the island.
A flight will take you to the picturesque landscape characterized by rolling hills, lush forests, and expansive valleys. The Scenic Rim region is dotted with wineries, charming country towns, and stunning viewpoints that provide a glimpse into rural Australian life and offer a perfect backdrop for relaxation and adventure.
