9 Days Tropical Queensland

Queensland is the only place in the world where two World Heritage Sites meet. And you get to see their convergence on this east coast Australia trip, which tours from Brisbane to Cairns. From a Great Barrier Reef cruise to the Wet Tropics rainforest, from Hamilton Island to Kuranda 'village in the rainforest' tour, get set for a parade of postcard-worthy attractions.

Begin your journey in Brisbane and travel north to the relaxed coastal region of Noosa. Enjoy free time to explore Hastings Street or stroll along the beach before continuing to Hervey Bay. Here, board a ferry to World Heritage-listed K’gari (Fraser Island). The ferry ride across the strait is a highlight, particularly during whale migration when these gentle giants come to the calm, protected waters to calve. Landing on K’gari, expect to see a lot of sand. This is, after all, the world’s largest sand island, and the only place in the world where rainforest grows from the sand. Surrounded by ancient rainforest and white-sand shores, check in to your eco resort and settle in for a peaceful evening immersed in nature. Accommodation: Kingfisher Bay Resort.
