Cruise Itinerary:

Day 1: Depart Cairns

Your adventure starts at 12:00pm for a 1:00pm departure from Cairns Trinity Wharf, when you set off for Sudbury Cay. Savour locally crafted tapas, enjoy the stunning view and meet your fellow passengers as the sun sets over the water. Afterwards, join in for some stargazing on the Skydeck.

Hinchinbrook Island | Munamudanamy

You have the day to explore the diverse landscapes of Hinchinbrook Island, also known as Munamudanamy, where mangroves, beaches, and rainforest await. Keep an eye out for dolphins, turtles, and the endangered dugong while exploring the island’s trails and beaches. Join a guided hike to Shepherd Bay or enjoy a peaceful beachcombing session along Cape Richards.

Geranium Passage Reefs | Yamacutta

Geranium Passage boasts some of the most pristine reefs in the region, making it an ideal destination for snorkelling and diving. Explore the vibrant underwater world of Yamacutta Reef, thriving with leopard coral grouper, emperor red snapper, turtles, manta rays and occasionally reef sharks. Very few people get the opportunity to visit here, providing you with ample space to explore.

Dunk Island | Coonanglebah & Mission Beach

Today, enjoy flexibility as you explore Dunk Island and Mission Beach, with the Xplorer running to and from both locations throughout the day. On Dunk Island, you can take guided walks to Mt Koolatoo, Muggy Muggy Beach, or Coconut Beach, or simply relax with beachcombing, kayaking, swimming, or stand-up paddleboarding. For those seeking adventure, explore the village of Mission Beach or venture into Djiru National Park to spot the southern cassowary.

Day 5: Arrive in Cairns

Arrive back at Cairns Trinity Wharf in time for breakfast and final farewells. Disembarkation at 8:00am.
