Sydney (2 Days)
Enjoy a hop-on hop-off guided sightseeing tour of Sydney's famous landmarks, then board a Sydney Harbour Cruise that that stops at many of the famous harbour attractions. Over the two full days in Sydney, there's an abundance of things to do - why not check out the historic Rocks District, the site of Australia's first settlement, see koalas and kangaroos at the Taronga Zoo, enjoy a Harbour Bridge Climb, take a guided bicycle tour, get dizzy with a Harbour jet boat, or even get out of town on a day trip to the famous Hunter Valley vineyards or picturesque Blue Mountains. Alternatively, shop until you drop at Sydney's varied markets and fashion shops, explore the great museums or discover the nightlife. It's your choice!

Sydney to Whitsundays (1 Days)
There'll be more free time this morning for any last minute shopping or activities. Then you'll be transferred to Sydney domestic airport to take a flight to the fabulous Whitsundays. Tonight relax on Long island, enjoying the warm and picturesque setting.

Whitsundays (2 Days)
Time to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and great amenities of Long Island. Feeling energetic, why not go bushwalking, play tennis or beach volleyball, take to the water with a snorkel or a jet ski? Want to relax? Then unwind on the palm-lined beach, have a massage, or sip cocktails on the verandah as you watch another perfect sunset.

Whitsundays to Cairns (1 Days)

For the adventurous a chance to do some white water rafting on the rapids of the Tully River, or take the opportunity to visit the famous Outer Barrier Reef aboard a high-speed catamaran. Why not scuba dive amidst amazingly colourful tropical fish? Or if you prefer, maybe spend the days at leisure doing some shopping in town. In the evening we'll check out more tropical wildlife at one of Cairns' nightclubs!
