Further trip information

Enjoy four awesome adventure experiences in one perfect package. Get your pulse pumping as you take a rapid ride on the Tully River with a day of white water rafting; take a sea kayak tour and have fun on Fitzroy Island; blow your mind on a soaring balloon flight above the Atherton Tablelands and snorkel in an underwater world at the gorgeous Great Barrier Reef.

All activities kick-off in Cairns and are run separately as individual events, so you will be meeting new people at each stage of your adventures rather than sticking with the same group. Because of this the order of activities is subject to change and the itinerary is for guidance only.

If you book the accommodation option, you'll also get 6 nights in a chilled-out Cairns hostel included - giving you 2 extra days to soak up the fun-filled atmosphere of Cairns!

Day 1: Full day white water rafting on the Tully River

Departs from Cairns at 6.30am. Return transfers, training and rafting equipment, BBQ lunch included. Local payment supplement for rafting.

Day 2: Half day guided sea kayaking tour around Fitzroy Island and the Great Barrier Reef

Afternoon spent snorkelling in the coral reef, doing rainforest walks or bouncing on the floating ocean trampoline! Return ferry transfers and use of snorkel gear included. AUD10 for return bus transfer. Local payment for kayaking.

Day 3: Balloon flight

Early start for 30-minute hot air balloon flight over the spectacular Atherton Tablelands. Bus transfer back to Cairns for some free time. No meals included. Local payment for Civil Aviation levy.

Day 4: Full day snorkelling at the Great Barrier Reef

An 8.15am start from Reef Fleet Terminal. Board catamaran for a full day's snorkelling and diving at multiple, exclusive reef sites, including up to 3 dives for qualified scuba divers and snorkelling tours of the reef (diving at extra cost). Morning tea and buffet lunch included. AUD10 for return bus transfer.

Please note: As all activities are run as separate, independent events this itinerary is subject to change and the order of activities may vary. Please be aware that in the event of bad weather conditions activities may be disrupted.

Please Note: There will be a local payment of AUD90 (approx £49) which will need to be paid in cash on different days of your programme (see itinerary). This includes a Civil Aviation levy, a rafting fee and a kayaking supplement. This payment is extra to the trip price, but the trip has been priced to take in to account this additional local payment. Return transfers from the reef on days 2 & 4 will cost an additional AUD10 per day.

Please note: Between the end of January and the beginning of March the hot air ballooning has a AUD30 local payment.
