Oyster Reef is your first destination and it is exclusively yours to explore. The reef is clear, shallow and abundant with marine life, offering both snorkellers and divers protected waters in which to experience the true wonders of the Great Barrier Reef.
Be as active or relaxed as you like - try your first ever scuba dive, or for the certified diver, enjoy being guided by our qualified instructors on some of the best dive sites on the reef.
Your second destination is another stunner, Upolu Reef is just magical with Moray Eels to check out, Giant Clams, Turtles and shallow water corals
You will see coral shelves and bommies which are very colorful and diverse with soft and hard coral varieties in all colors of the spectrum. These are home to thousands of tropical fish in all sizes, shapes and forms.
A sumptuous buffet lunch is included whilst sailing between destinations. Afternoon tea is fresh baked cake and tea/coffee. To top it all off there is a glass of complimentary champagne on the homeward sail.

Boarding time is 7.30 am from the 'A' Finger Marlin Marina for an 8:00am departure.
Day 3: Kuranda Skyrail & TrainThe Kuranda Skyrail & Train pack includes a transfer from your accommodation to the Skyrail Terminal. You will journey up the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway which spans 7.5kms over pristine rainforest. Gliding just metres above the rainforest canopy in comfortable six-person gondola cabins, the Skyrail journey will immerse you in an intimate rainforest experience. Enjoy the stunning rainforest scenery, panoramic views of the Cairns’ tropical region and the glittering waters of the Coral Sea.
During your Skyrail journey you will have time to explore two on the rainforest mid-stations - Red Peak and Barron Falls, where you can explore the forest floor on boardwalks, view the scenic look-outs and spend time in the state-of-the-art Rainforest Interpretive Centre.
Kuranda Village is a quaint little township in the rainforest, situated where both Skyrail and the Kuranda Scenic Train journeys terminate. Kuranda Village is famous for arts and crafts and indigenous artifacts and the excellent attractions of the Butterfly Sanctuary, Koala Gardens, Birdworld and the Aviary. The original Kuranda markets are held Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday. Heritage Markets open daily.
At your chosen time of 2:00pm or 3:30pm board the Kuranda Scenic Train for your return journey. The Kuranda Scenic Railway is a spectacular journey offering views of World Heritage Listed rainforest, steep ravines and picturesque waterfalls within the Barron Gorge National Park. This famous railway winds its way from Kuranda to Cairns. You will arrive into Cairns Central Station at 5:15pm and it is just a short wonder back to your accommodation next door at the Southern Cross.
Departure options are at 9:45am or 10:45am pick up from the Southern Cross, returning on the Scenic Rail at 2:00pm or 3:30pm. This tour terminates at the Cairns Railway Station.
Day 4: Cape Tribulation & Daintree Rainforest 4WD tour
Billy Tea Bush Safaris is the longest established 4WD day tour operator to Cape Tribulation. The first 1/2 of the journey north is very scenic with beautiful ocean views in contrast with the lush farmland around Mossman. After morning tea you will learn about the mangrove rainforests, and hopefully observe local wildlife including the Estuarine Crocodiles on the Daintree River Cruise. This tour offers a little more. It takes you beyond Cape Tribulation along the 4WD only 'Bloomfield Track', allows time for a swim in the Coral Sea at Cape Tribulation (seasonal) . There is no set timetable. You can enjoy elevated walks through the Cape Tribulation National Park with experienced guides who allow ample time for questions and photographs. While you are taking a swim in a tranquil freshwater stream the BBQ lunch is prepared then served with home made salads, tropical fruit and Australian wine. You will probably see fish and turtles in the creek, butterflies and exotic birds in the trees and often Goannas on the forest floor all at the luncheon site. On the way home enjoy a short afternoon refreshment stop where you can pat a Kangaroo, scratch a cockatoo, have a cold beer or sip a cup of local tea. Return to Cairns by 6:30pm. Days 5,6 & 7 are at your leisure. Day 8: Check out of accommodation - End of Package. Please Note: The Ultimate Adventure Package includes accommodation and tours but does not include Airport Transfers or any meals besides meals included on your tours.
