For the outdoorsy type who loves to stray from the beaten path, but wants to finish the day in the lap of luxury…

You’ll start your Australian Adventure on Fraser Island.  Located on the southern tip of the Great Barrier Reef and granted UNESCO World Heritage status, it’s the largest sand island in the world– and a veritable playground for outdoor fun. Spend your days exploring inland tracks and swimming at remote beaches during escorted 4×4 tours. Then retreat to the comfort of the luxury resort, Kingfisher Bay. From August to October, humpback whales migrating along the
coastline add to the already mind-blowing views.

It’s off to the beautiful waterfront city of Cairns for the next leg of the trip, where you’ll have some tough choices to make.
OPTION 1: Is quality time exploring the Great Barrier Reef’s pristine underwater world on your bucket list? Board Spirit of Freedom for three nights in paradise. The luxury liveaboard has just 11 cabins, all with private bathrooms. Tanks and weights are provided for scuba divers. Snorkelers find just as much to marvel at while finning over the Ribbon Reefs, a string of coral reefs known for their biodiversity. This area is a reserve, so you’ll have the benefit of a dive guide joining you on all of your outings, which adds to the exclusivity. After the boat life, it’s straight to Lizard Island for some R&R. The recently refurbished all-inclusive resort occupies a sugar-sand island that’s a protected national park and home to 24 beaches and lagoons.
OPTION 2: If sleeping on a boat isn’t for you, nothing tops the luxury of three nights at Orpheus Island Resort, known for its exclusivity. Picture the ultimate
all-inclusive vacation set on an island within the Great Barrier Reef. The setting is totally unspoiled, and the shallow snorkeling and dive sites fringing the island are home to over 1,000 species. You can even spot manta rays from July
to August. From Orpheus, it’s off to Port Douglas to explore another World Heritage site, the Daintree Rainforest. Highlights include cruising the Daintree River, learning about dreamtime legends on a walk through the Mossman Gorge and strolling the sands of Cape Tribulation. Also on the itinerary is a visit to Wildlife Habitat, where kangaroos roam freely and you can hug a koala.
