Explore the river city of Brisbane before boarding the Tilt Train to travel in style towards Hervey Bay. This is the perfect base for sightseeing and from where you will depart the marina for the West Coast of K’gari (Fraser Island) where few have visited. As you cruise keep an eye out for dolphins, turtles, dugongs and seabirds. Once anchored at a secluded beach enjoy swimming, kayaking, snorkelling, fishing or just relax on the sand. Join the boat home for a hearty and freshly prepared Aussie BBQ lunch.
An exciting overnight on the Spirit of Queensland rail journey delivers you to Airlie Beach and the Floating Hotel AKA Solway Lass. This beautifully preserved tall ship has a rich history that you’ll feel the moment you step onboard. Enjoy leisurely sailing around the Whitsunday islands and partake in a menu of activities from exploring caves and waterfalls, to snorkelling or just chilling on the deck.
