Aussie Coastal Lifestyle & Outback Life

Day One

Arrive in Cairns from the UK and transfer to the charming coastal town of Port Douglas.


Day Two

Spend the day chilling out on the beach and soaking up the atmosphere.

Take a day trip to Cape Tribulation where two World Heritage Areas meet – the Daintree Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef.  Take a guided beach walk or join a seakayak tour to explore the area.


Day Four

Day Five

Escape to one of the amazing Great Barrier Reef islands just off the coast of Cairns for a few days.  These are accessed by boat or by air if you’re feeling flash.


Day Six

Spend the day snorkeling or diving on the Great Barrier Reef – get up close and personal with over 150,000 varieties of tropical fish.


Day Seven

Go bushwalking, relax with a spa treatment, take a cooking class or spend the day in the water – the choice is yours!


Day Eight

Time to leave your island paradise and head back to the mainland. Take a domestic flight from Cairns to Darwin (about two and a half hours) and then spend the afternoon exploring the tropical city.  Don’t miss the Mindill Beach night markets!

Go swimming in the Gunlom Plunge Pool and relax by the waterfall before heading back to Darwin .


Day Twelve

Take a day trip to Litchfield National Park, just an hour and a half from Darwin and home to ancient landscapes, stunning waterfalls, crystal clear rock pools and sandstone pillar formations known as the “Lost City”.
