Relax and enjoy the tropical bliss or explore the interesting history, immerse yourself in festival fun and culture of this region with a tour from the cruise operator.
Cairns is one of Australia’s most popular holiday destinations. Surrounded by natural wonders; the Great Barrier Reef, the beautiful beaches of the Marlin Coast and the Daintree Rainforest, but also a beautiful city in its own right. There are many things to see and do, but if you’ve never seen the Great Barrier Reef then it's a highly recommended excursion.
Today you will be calling into Darwin, known for its tropical rainforests and wild-life, including the infamous saltwater crocodile. Darwin has a plethora of activities to enjoy. You can explore the harbour and discover the unique city of Darwin or head out to glorious Litchfield National Park.
There are many possible excursions hosted by the cruise company.
The practically untouched Kimberley Coast is a breathtaking panorama of contrasting natural sights, red rocks and white sand, blue water and colourful reefs. Look out upon prehistoric environments and be blown away by pure, untamed beauty.
Today you will be stopping in at the beautiful but isolated city of Broome. Famous for its pearling past and beautiful white sand beaches Broome is as unique as the pearls found in its bay.
Explore famous Cable Beach or the historical areas in and around the city. The cruise offers excursions for all the sights to see.
The city of Geraldton is where you will be stopping today. It's a historic yet trendy city. Geraldton has stunning inner-city beaches and a splendid climate, perfect for a beach day. There is also some very interesting history surrounding the area for those who wish to learn. Excursions are available from the cruise operator.
Today is your final day of the cruise. After disembarking, check into your Perth hotel and explore the city. The choices are endless and your Lonely Planet guide will help you plan, and make the most of, each day of your three-night stay here.
Today you have the day to explore Perth, we recommend Kings Park, a city park even bigger than Central Park.
Or head to Rottnest Island, a car-free island full of adorable quokkas. Tonight, you will be seeing the beauty of Perth from a dinner cruise on the Swan River. Enjoy!
Today you will be seeing some of the unique wonders of Western Australia with a tour to the Swan Valley, Lancelin and Nambung National Park. This tour is filled with friendly animals, wine and chocolate, spectacular white dunes, and more special scenery.
Depart Perth for the port town of Bunbury, a little under two hours' drive away, so you can head straight there or stop in at one of the many beautiful towns on the way.
At Bunbury you will be heading out into Koombana Bay on a special cruise. This will allow you to see Bunbury’s most famous attractions, the adorable bottlenose dolphins.
Today is a wine-lover's dream. Margaret River is in the heart of one of the world's most famous wine regions.
You will enjoy some of the best wine at a wine-tasting and lunch at a beautiful estate. After this, you can head to your accommodation to rest up and plan your next day here.
Today you have plenty of options to choose from such as the beautiful beaches and nearby towns, or the wonderful boutiques in the area. But there is one activity we definitely recommend, a tour of one of the beautiful limestone caves. These caves are as breathtaking as they are monumentally large. Later, there is no shortage of wonderful restaurants from which to choose.
This morning you are driving towards Albany. Head down scenic Caves Road to the Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse where two oceans meet. Then drive along the southern coast towards Pemberton, where we recommend stopping for a forest walk or tram ride to marvel at some of the tallest trees on earth.
Check out the "Valley of the Giants" tree-top walk, Elephant Rocks and Greens Pool.
Before leaving Albany you can explore the beautiful beaches, and maybe catch a glimpse of the last few whales migrating through this area. Heading north you can stop at Stirling Range National Park and see the only alpine area in WA. We also recommend stopping in at Kojonup and seeing Kodja Place, a centre exploring rural life and history.
Today you will be flying back home to Sydney. What a holiday!
