Encounters with the reef have evolved over the years to become more personalised and intimate. Here is just a few different ways to experience one of the Natural Wonders of the World
So you thought you knew about every reef experience and every location on the Great Barrier Reef, that perhaps the reef couldn’t come up with any new encounters, well, we are here to give you pause. If small, organic, boutique are words that you associate with your expectation of visiting one of the Worlds natural wonders, then read on, because we may have found some experiences just for you……..
The Great Barrier Reef’s Frankland Islands are a pristine archipelago located 10km offshore, about 45km south-east of Cairns. The group consists of five continental islands, Normanby, High, Russell, Round and Mabel, and are a part of the World Heritage listed Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. All the islands are uninhabited and surrounded by healthy fringing reefs, full of hard and soft corals, giant clams, schools of fish, turtles, octopus and more. Your journey begins with a trip South of Cairns past cane-fields and the very unique Pyramid. You end up alongside the Mulgrave River, and after cruising down the river, a short hop across the Coral Sea, sees you at the Frankland Islands group. The day is yours. Putting on a mask and snorkel and enjoying the stunning water are a must. Exploring the islands, relaxing on the beach, maybe trying one of the myriad of optional activities available, it is totally up to you. Lunch is included as is Morning and Afternoon Tea. The reason we love this tour is because you are the only people at the Frankland Islands. They are pristine, the environment is pristine…..just dont tell too many people about it. We kinda like it the way it is.

Making the right decision on what reef operator to choose can be a little bit daunting when you consider the number of options out of Port Douglas, but then we found this one. Aqua Quest first hit the water two years ago making it one of the newest boats operating out of this part of the world. With a capacity of 120, but taking just 80 people, the small numbers appealed straight away, when compared with some of the bigger boats. You head out to what will be two locations that you will visit on the Outer Reef. The quality of the reef, the abundance of marine life will leave you constantly looking around to what will be the next thing to appear. If you are a diver, you will love this trip. If you want to try SCUBA for the first time, you will love this trip and if you just want to snorkel and see what you can find from the surface of the water, then you will also love this trip. What makes this day on the reef so good is the quality of the Aqua Quest crew. The care factor in making sure everyone is having a great day is apparent and combine it with the food you will be served, the briefings and insights you will get about the reef locations you travel to, a trip with Aqua Quest is really one of the great day tours to the reef. This trip got the big ticks from us because of the numbers on board, the age of the vessel, the quality of the reef locations and the friendliness of the crew. You will have a terrific day out with Aqua Quest.
Imagine this. A deserted sand cay, surrounded by turquoise water, that special someone alongside you and just your own private helicopter and pilot. If this is smoking your tyres, then you need to have a look at this experience. Heli Tours North Queensland have an Ultimate Sand Cay Experience. They will pick you up from your accommodation in Cairns, the Northern Beaches or Port Douglas and fly you out over the Great Barrier Reef. If marvelling at this incredible natural spectacle is not enough, that looming white sandy beach that is coming into view is going to be yours for the next few hours. You land and as if by magic, your pilot pulls out of the helicopter, beach chairs, an umbrella, a picnic hamper while you put on a mask and snorkel and go and enjoy your encounter with the reef. You come back in and your pilot turns from skilled aviator into a wine serving waiter (they go all right those pilots at Heli Tours North Queensland) as you kick back and enjoy the warming rays of the sun and just wonder how long this has been going on for .

We accept no liability for any errors you make in the booking form. Once you’ve completed your booking the relevant supplier will be notified of your selected dates and following confirmation of those dates your credit / debit card will be debited in respect of the payment amount and you will then receive an email and invoice from Unwind North Queensland confirming your reservation.

The booking confirmation will expire on the date indicated on the travel booking confirmation. Expired purchases are non-refundable in whole or part. Once expired, purchases are no longer valid and will not be honoured by the merchant. In the event that a booking specifies a ‘book by’ date, all bookings must be made with the supplier prior to that date.
Any Terms and Conditions of the supplier will always apply in addition to any specific terms of the offer stated by Unwind North Queensland.

Government taxes and charges imposed by Suppliers or third parties, including airline fuel surcharges, taxes or ticketing fees are subject to change. If any increase in such taxes or charges or any currency fluctuation increases the price of your booking, the Company reserves the right to adjust your price by including additional charges, together with any applicable service fee and GST, at any time prior to our issuing your travel documentation following receipt of the balance of your price. We will notify you of schedule or price changes made by suppliers for any reason beyond our control.

Any quote given is an estimate only of price and is subject to written confirmation, when accepted by a passenger within five (5) days of the quote being given.

All prices on this website are based on existing bedding in the room. Requests for particular arrangements must be made at the time of booking (for example, twin share, separate beds, additional rollaway beds may be arranged at time of check-in and additional charges may be payable direct to the hotel). Some hotels may also have maximum capacity for particular rooms.
We calculate the percentage off in our deals based on the ‘rack rate’ of the room and the inclusions at the time the deal is live for the validity period of the deal (that’s hotel-speak for ‘Recommended Retail Price’). Hotels may change accommodation charges depending on peak seasons, low seasons and events so we use the rack rate which is consistent through the year and 100% verifiable. The value and comparative savings have been determined based on the resort’s published rack rates and the value of inclusions. Please be advised that rack rates may not be reflective of actual rates being charged, dependent on the timing and manner of your booking and therefore are only indicative of the level of saving.

Neither the Company nor any agent or affiliate is responsible for any criminal conduct by any third parties. All bookings agreed to be made by the Company with the provider of any transport or other services are subject to the terms and conditions imposed on such suppliers in relation to matters that may not be expressly the subject of our agreement with them and, in particular, to the applicable laws, requirements and policies of any government, governmental authority or employee including, visa, entry, exit or transit. The Company does not accept responsibility or liability for any acts, omissions or defaults whether negligent or otherwise, of suppliers.

The Company arranges your holiday, which will be provided by other suppliers. The Company sells holidays in Australia that are arranged by the Company or by entities related to or affiliated with it. The Company provides you and other passengers with bookings, arrangements, ticketing and other ancillary and related services. The Company does not itself provide the transport, accommodation, meals or other facilities described on this website that you may receive on your holiday, all of which are provided by air and land carriers, cruise operators, hoteliers or suppliers of other services as principals. The Company bears no responsibility as an intermediary and cannot be held responsible in case of damage caused to you by any of our suppliers, caused by you to our suppliers. You therefore commit to indemnify and hold harmless the Company against all damages or claims made by you. The above provisions do not apply to benefit the Company if the cause of the loss or claim against the Company arises directly as a result of a breach of any of these terms by the Company.
You will at all times indemnify, and keep indemnified, us and our directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any loss (including reasonable legal costs and expenses on a full indemnity basis) or liability incurred or suffered by you or by us arising from any claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding by any person against you or us where such loss or liability arose out of, in connection with or in respect of your conduct or breach of this agreement.

We endeavour to ensure that the arrangements we have made for you are implemented as arranged. If a problem occurs, the most practical way to deal with it is to attempt resolution locally with the supplier (such as the hotel, tour operator or airline). If you fail to follow this course, any claim for compensation may be reduced or denied. If you have any unresolved complaint, details should be lodged in writing (with supporting documentation, including efforts made with the service provider to resolve it) directly to the Company within 30 days of return to Australia. We have no liability (including for loss or damage) for any act, omission or default, whether negligent or otherwise of any merchant. If you wish to make a complaint in respect of a merchant, you must email that complaint to support@luxuryescapes.com. Notwithstanding the nature of the complaint, Refunds will only be provided in accordance with our Refund Policy.
