Day 1-3, Sydney, Cresant Heads, Coffs Harbour & Byron Bay

Soak up the alternative lifestyle in Byron Bay, try your hand at hang gliding or work on the sun tan as we journey into Queensland. Accommodation: Budget lodging included

Day 4-6, Wynnum & Moreton Island

Continuing north along the coast we'll pick up our 4WD vehicle for our 2 day tour of Moreton Island where the world's highest sand dunes await you. With miles of deserted white beaches and inland forests dotted with crystal clear lakes, this is the highlight of the trip for many. We'll hike some of the trails, visit the Tangalooma Wrecks and maybe view dolphins, fish or pods of whales in season. You can also explore the shipwrecks and swim in the Blue Lagoon - a naturally formed "perched lake." As good as Fraser Island without the crowds. Accommodation: Budget lodging included

Day 7-10, Redcliffe, Gin Gin & Cattle Station

Briefly leave the coast for a 2-night stay on our secluded cattle station. Jump on a horse or motorbike and help with the daily fun on this 2,600 acre working cattle property.

Day 11-13, Airlie Beach & Whitsundays Sailing Adventure

Sun, sail, sand and fun await you as we head back to Airlie Beach where we board our 20 metre yacht for our two day/two night sailing cruise through the Whitsunday Islands. One of the highlights of any East Coast adventure, you'll live aboard the yacht and cruise between these paradise islands, mooring to explore or snorkel the reef. One of the highlights of this cruise is Whitsunday Island, which is home to Whitehaven Beach - one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. You'll also have plenty of time to gaze into the turquoise waters, sunbathe on the deck and spot turtles or dolphins following the yacht. Everything is supplied on this unique Australian adventure. Do we have to go back to the mainland already? Accommodation: Budget lodging & sailboat cabins included

Day 14-16, Airlie Beach & Magnetic Island

Jump aboard the island ferry as we cruise over to Magnetic Island for another unforgettable treat.

Here we'll give you the chance to try white water rafting on the Tully River, jump out of a perfectly good plane to tandem sky diving over the beach, sea kayaking, join a rainforest hike or go cassowary and crocodile spotting! After all these adrenaline rushes you'll appreciate the chance to relax on the pretty beaches to work on your tan or take a boat over to Dunk Island for some great hikes. Accommodation: Budget lodging included

Day 19-21, Cape Tribulation, Great Barrier Reef & Cairns

Yes there is still more to do! Head north again through Cairns and the Daintree Forest to Cape Tribulation.

Then explore the many rainforest hikes around the Mossman Gorge before heading back to Cairns. Our last day see us all aboard our multi million dollar yacht for a full day tour to the Outer Barrier Reef. Go scuba diving (no experience needed) or snorkel among the colourful coral.
