9 Nights Australia

Airlie Beach is the tourism mainland hub for the Whitsundays, where you can take on activities either on the beautiful water or the verdant greens of the rainforest. You'll instantly feel the holiday as you enjoy the tropical atmosphere when you stroll through cafes, restaurants, boutiques, and souvenir stores.

While it is usually a jump-off port for the Great Barrier Reef, Cairns can also become a destination for destination for trekking, discovering secret islands along the reef, exploring the Daintree Rainforest and even gliding through the rainforest canopy. Cairns also is home to the Esplanade, which is a swimming lagoon where you can freely bask under the sun as you enjoy the panoramic views of the Trinity Inlet.

Also known as the Nerd Island, this 19-acre strip of land in the middle of the Coral Sea is used as a weather monitoring station by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. As you cruise along, you'll find a diverse birdlife on display, with wedge-tailed shearwaters, crested terns, and black noddies. Many other species migrate here as well.
