Itinerary

• Thursday: Land in Cairns (flight not included), check in to your accommodation and meet the rest of your group during a Welcome Meal.
• Friday: It's an early start, but that's ok, as you're heading for a full day cruise to the outer Great Barrier Reef, where snorkelling is included. Also, you can upgrade (small extra cost) to an introductory Scuba Dive if you'd like to try that.
• Saturday: Today you're joining the epic, famous Uncle Brian's tour, named 'Fun, Falls and Forest'. Today you'll be visiting the Atherton Tablelands, spending your time swimming in stunning lakes and waterfalls, whilst learning all about the local area.
• Sunday: Today is completely free and it's up to you how you fill it. Cairns has SO many things to do such as White Water Rafting, Skydiving, Bungy Jumping and more. Or you may choose to relax by the lagoon. Whatever it is, we can help you with it. 
• Monday: Today is the day we leave Cairns, for beautiful Airlie Beach. Australia's a big ol' place, so today will be a travel day as we get the bus down.
• Tuesday: Today may be one of the most special days of your life. First, you'll take a 60 minute flight over the Whitsundays, marvelling at 74 islands, and getting an epic shot of 'Heart Reef'. After that you'll be taking an adventure boat trip through the islands, spending time on the whitest sand in the world at the famous Whitehaven Beach. You'll also fit in some snorkelling too!
• Wednesday: After the trip of a lifetime, it's unfortunately time to head home, with memories to fill a lifetime.
