Overview
Explore Australia’s sun-kissed East Coast, from the tropical hub of Cairns (Gimuy) to Queensland’s capital, Brisbane (Meanjin). This eight-day oceanic adventure takes you to one beachside hotspot after another. Take an off-road adventure across the dunes of K’gari (formerly Fraser Island), explore the tropical waters of the Whitsundays, flop and drop on the palm-fringed sands of Mission Beach, soak up the energy and nightlife of Airlie Beach and explore colourful underwater worlds of the Great Barrier Reef in your free time. On this epic road trip, you’ll get wet in the waterfalls, wild in the rainforests and sandy on the beaches – what could be better!
