Arrive Cairns
On arrival at Cairns Airport, make your own way to your hotel (flights anytime). The rest of the day is at leisure to explore the city.
Great Barrier Reef
Make your way to Cairns Marina and embark on a unique outer Great Barrier Reef cruise. Enjoy a full day exploring the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef. The catamaran docks alongside a floating pontoon, stationed in a natural lagoon fringed with beautiful coral at Moore Reef. With clear water, colourful coral, abundant fish life and friendly resident turtles and Maori wrasse, Moore Reef is the ultimate destination to experience all that the outer reef has to offer. Swimmers of all abilities can snorkel in the natural lagoon (snorkelling equipment provided) or stay dry with our semi-submersible and glass bottom boat tours. You can also visit the underwater observatory to discover the world’s most impressive natural fish tank and get up close and personal with marine life in the touch tank presentations. Enjoy fun-filled moments in the enclosed ocean pool or experience the thrill of swirling down the 30-meter spiral waterslide into the tropical ocean. A trained lifeguard is always on watch from an elevated lifeguard station, and there’s easy entry to the water from two snorkel platforms. Enjoy a tropical-inspired buffet lunch on the water before returning to Cairns.
Kuranda Scenic Railway & Skyrail
Your day begins with a transfer to the historic Freshwater Station and the famous Kuranda Scenic Rail journey. Sit back, relax and take in the spectacular views as you wind your way up to quaint village of Kuranda, with breathtaking views of the mountain ranges tropical rainforest and across the rocky Barron Gorge and waterfalls. Winding around curves, across bridges and through hand-hewn tunnels, this amazing engineering feat is a tribute to our pioneers. In Kuranda, explore the village, full of colourful and interesting arts and crafts. You might also like to visit Birdworld, the Australian Butterfly Sanctuary or Kuranda Koala Gardens (all own expense). Later, board the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway for your return journey, gliding silently over and through the World Heritage listed Tropical Rainforest, enjoying beautiful views along the way. Explore this ancient environment at Red Peak and Barron Falls Station, including the Rainforest Discovery Zone and The Edge Lookout. Upon arrival at Smithfield Station, board your coach back to your accommodation.

Your Short Break concludes this morning after breakfast. Make your own way to Cairns Airport (flights anytime).
