Take Me There!

A vacation that mixes culture with a dose of adventure…

_{by Terry Ward, ISLANDS}

You’ll start your Australian Adventure on Hamilton Island, the largest inhabited isle in the Whitsundays Islands National Park (part of the Great Barrier Reef). The famous luxury hotel here is your home for the first two nights. You can meet koalas at the onsite facility, or rent a golf cart and scope out the island’s scene. If you prefer, schedule a tee time at the 18-hole golf course fronting the ocean on the neighboring island. The next day, it’s off to one of the Whitsundays’ most magical locales as you cruise by catamaran to Whitehaven Beach. Made almost entirely of white silica, the sand lends an otherworldly luminosity to the turquoise water. Soak it all in before heading back to Hamilton Island for the night. Snorkeling on Hardy Reef on the Great Barrier Reef is up next. But this is no out-and-back excursion. When the resort’s daytrippers head back to Hamilton, you’ll stay with just 11 other guests for an unforgettable afternoon and evening on a pontoon floating above the reef.

Delicious alfresco meals are served, and cabin and open-air accommodations are available for sleeping. But the real highlight comes while
snorkeling, when you’ll have the reef almost entirely to yourself. As darkness falls, it’s all about relaxing beneath a canopy of starlight in
this silent piece of paradise. After breakfast the next morning, weigh your options. Either return via boat to Hamilton Island, perhaps in time to enjoy the spa. Or opt to be whisked away from the pontoon by helicopter for the chance to spot Heart Reef from the air (it looks just like the symbol of love) before
returning to the island for the night.

You’ll leave Hamilton Island via a flight to Cairns. Then you’ll be transferred to your accommodations in Port Douglas, where a romantic sunset sail on the Coral Sea is a fitting welcome. Over the next few days, explore Australia’s aboriginal culture and its deep ties to the land. As guests of the Walker family for
the Daintree Dreaming tour, your group will be divided into “hunters and gatherers” for activities like spearing crabs in the mangroves and foraging for berries. Then you’ll prepare a feast using traditional aboriginal methods. You’ll learn about dreamtime and – if you choose – can finish the day with a customary smoking ceremony too. Optional add-ons during your stay in Port Douglas include a snorkeling or diving trip to the outer reef and Jungle Surfing (zip-lining) in Cape Tribulation.
