The one that's an unforgettable island-hopping adventure, including the Whitsundays and the Great Barrier Reef, with more included.

The crystal clear waters and spotless sands of Queensland are calling our names! This sun-soaked adventure kicks things off in the paradise of Airlie Beach before an unforgettable expedition sailing along the Whitsundays on a converted racing yacht. And the paradise isles don't stop coming. Heading onto Magnetic Island, you'll get to spot Rock Wallabies at dusk, before ending on a high in Cairns to get even closer to that wonder of the natural world: the Great Barrier Reef.
