Day Two: Passions of Paradise

Passions of Paradise II is the newest sail boat to be launched in Cairns and is an awesome 25 metre sailing vessel that cruises to the Inner and Outer Barrier Reef .

Michaelmas Cay is the first stop. This is a gorgeous little speck of pure coral sand, surrounded by reef and warm shallow water. There are many different species of marine life that inhabit these waters and the cay is also a haven for a variety of marine birds. You will have about 2 1/2 hours to explore and snorkel. A snorkel specialist will assist first time snorkellers and make you feel comfortable.

Breaking Patches at Paradise Reef, is the second destination. For 1 1/2 hours you can snorkel over brilliant staghorn corals, huge plate corals of many different colours, and anemones that sway with the oceans currents. Paradise Reef is ideal for both Introductory and Certified diving.
For those passengers who wish to see the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef and not get wet, Passions offers a 30 minute glass bottom tour with a Marine Naturalist ( extra cost).

Day Three: At your leisure

Day Four: Cape Trib Day Trip!

The Cape Trib Connections Day Tour starts with a pick up from your accommodation at approximately 7am. You will head north for the drive to the Daintree on the scenic coastal road. This highway snakes along the shoreline past secluded beaches and rainforest clad mountains with views out over the Coral Sea to the Great Barrier Reef. This is one of the most spectacular drives in Australia.

The first stop will be at the Daintree Mangroves Animal Sanctuary. It will be a brief stop for morning tea and the chance to view Cassowary birds and other native animals up close. From here the tour will cross the Daintree River by ferry and stop at the Alexandra Range Lookout for stunning photo opportunities and a bird's eye view of the coast, followed by a guided walk through the rainforest on the Mardja Boardwalk.

It's time for lunch - at the Beach House, where you can walk onto Cape Tribulation beach. Following lunch the tour will drive on to the Daintree River Cruise Centre where afternoon tea is available before the one hour river cruise. This interesting and informative boat cruise takes you through the domain of the large estuarine crocodile. Egrets wade near mangroves in the murky water of the river where crocodiles wait patiently for a meal.

After the cruise, you will drive south towards Cairns for a stop at Mossman Gorge, where you will be able to swim or go for a walk. The clear mountain river cuts through thick rainforest and tumbles over boulders on its journey to the sea. On the way home the tour will visit the picturesque tourist town of Port Douglas for a quick stop.

It will then stop at the Rex Lookout for a final photo opportunity before arriving back in Cairns after an exciting day, at about 6.30pm.

Departs: Cairns from 7:00am
Returns: Approx 6pm

Day Five: At your leisure

Day Six: Check out from the Discovery Cairns, End of Package
