Day 2: Port Douglas

We’ve included a day trip to the Great Barrier Reef today and what better way to see this celebrated sight than from the comfort of a luxury sailing catamaran? Enjoy morning tea on board as you make your way out to sea before stopping at key snorkelling spots to see the reef in all its glory. Swim with colourful coral and shimmering fish as you gaze upon this incredible natural wonder.

If snorkelling doesn’t take your fancy, you can simply relax on board, on the beach or take a ride in the glass-bottomed boat.

The next couple of days here are at leisure so you can be as active or relaxed as you wish.

There's also several activities to enjoy as added extras, including river drift snorkelling on the crystal-clear Mossman River. 

If relaxation is the goal then Silky Oaks is a haven of serenity - enjoy peaceful yoga classes in the morning amongst the sounds of the rainforest waking up or head to the spa for a calming treatment amongst the lush scenery.
