About this trip

The reef week, end to end

Six nights built for travellers who want the Great Barrier Reef as the centrepiece, not a side-trip. Three nights in Cairns for two full reef days (Agincourt outer-reef pontoon + a southern Hardy Reef day with possible Heart Reef views), with the Daintree rainforest as the rest-day. Three nights on Hamilton Island for Whitehaven Beach + a final reef snorkel from a dedicated dive boat.

Questions, answered.

When is the best time to visit Australia?

+

Sept–Nov (spring) and Mar–May (autumn) are perfect — mild weather, low rain, manageable crowds. East coast cities are year-round; the Great Barrier Reef is best May–Oct (cooler, clearer water).

Vegetarian and Jain food in Australia?
