Friday - Fitzroy Island's lush tropical rainforests are a haven for over 35 different species of birds. Escorted walks from the village resort reveal beautiful ferns and native orchids.

Saturday - Hedley Reef, a full day to snorkel, dive and explore the wonders of the sea. Hedley Reef was produced over thousands of years by billions of tiny coral polyps. Explore a kaleidoscope of formations including staghorn, brain, boulder and fan corals. Join the Marine Naturalist on the glass bottom boat and discover vibrantly coloured sea creatures. Or simply luxuriate on board and enjoy the delights of shipboard life.

Sunday - It's hard to imagine a lovelier cruising channel than Hinchinbrook. The narrow passage that separates Australia's largest island national park from the mainland, teems with life. On to exotic Dunk Island, a tropical paradise and a beachcomber's delight. Walk pathways tunnelled through rainforest to find vivid native flowers and rainbow coloured birds, or enjoy the convivial hospitality at the island resort. Tonight you are invited to the Captain's Farewell Dinner - a gala celebration.

Combine the 4 Night Northbound and the 3 Night Southbound for a 7 Night Cruise to experience the ultimate in cruising.
