Itinerary
Fly from UK to
Brisbane
Arrive in Brisbane, Queensland’s vibrant capital, set along the sunny banks of the Brisbane River. Here, take the time to explore the chic cafes and quirky bars, browse the galleries and museums or perhaps try the hike up Mount Coot-tha, a 287m mound home to the Botanical Gardens and the Planetarium as well as 360° views of the city. While you’re in town, pay a visit to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary for a chance to get up close to koalas and kangaroos.
5* New Inchcolm Hotel & Suites
Noosa
There are some excellent walks on offer in Noosa National Park, and it’s worth exploring the rainforest at nearby Tewantin National Park too, but really the main event for your Noosa stay will be your trip to Fraser Island, an island made of sand. Here you can explore the beautiful rock formations, dunes and lakes, including the impressively green Lake Wabby.
4* Mantra French Quarter
Fraser Island day tour
Hervey Bay
Experience this stunning location on a glass bottom boat tour or snorkel the reef where you will come face to face with a large variety of coral, brilliantly coloured fish, and perhaps turtles, dolphins and manta rays. In the evening, explore the quintessential Aussie town of Hervey Bay and choose to dine at one the restaurants located along the harbour.
4* Mantra Hervey Bay
Great Barrier Reef day trip including Lady Elliot Island
Hamilton Island
Here, the soft white sands and bright blue seas will invite you to spend lazy days on the beach, or perhaps to grab your snorkel and explore the underwater world. For the more energetic there are plenty of activities to choose from such as quad biking, go-karting, fishing and golf, as well as a wide variety of coastal hiking paths to explore.
