Saturday - Snorkellers come face to face with clouds of intensely coloured reef fish. Passengers in the glass-bottomed boat hear our marine naturalist describe life among the coral bomboras of Hedley Reef. A whole day to explore these coral gardens.
Sunday - A breathtaking cruising passage through the Hinchinbrook Channel. Enjoy the spectacular vista of densely forested mountains, mangroves and sun-drenched beaches in the morning mist. Our marine naturalist explains the channel’s diverse habitats that shelter species from dugongs and dolphins to migrating whales. In the high rainforest canopies of Dunk Island exotic bird and plant life abounds. There is life too at the island’s resort where you can drop in for a quiet drink, a hit of tennis, a round of golf or a swim. On Monday morning we reach Cairns once more.
