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

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.
