Day 1: Welcome to Cairns – Embarkation & Sunset at Fitzroy Island

Cairns – Fitzroy Island

Your adventure begins in Cairns, the vibrant gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and the lush landscapes of Northern Queensland. Step aboard your luxury yacht, where your crew welcomes you aboard. As you settle in, the yacht glides away from the bustling marina, heading toward Fitzroy Island.

This lush, rainforest-covered island is a paradise of pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant coral reefs. Spend the afternoon snorkeling among colorful fish and sea turtles or take a short hike to the Fitzroy Island Lighthouse for sweeping ocean views.

As the sun begins to set, enjoy a gourmet dinner on deck, with the sky glowing in shades of pink and gold over the Coral Sea. The soft sounds of lapping waves and the gentle sway of the yacht create the perfect ambiance for your first night on board.

Day 2: Snorkeling & Diving at Green Island

After a leisurely breakfast, sail to Green Island, a 9000-year-old coral cay teeming with marine life. This island is a paradise for snorkeling, diving, and glass-bottom boat tours, where you can witness giant clams, tropical fish, and vibrant coral gardens just meters from the shore.

Following a relaxing morning, cruise toward Upolu Cay, a hidden sandbank in the middle of the reef that appears and disappears with the tide. Wade through the shallow, crystal-clear waters or snorkel in the surrounding coral reef, feeling as though you’ve found your own private paradise.

That evening, anchor in a tranquil bay and enjoy a chef-prepared seafood feast, with freshly caught prawns, barramundi, and tropical fruits, as the stars light up the night sky.
