This trip requires a moderate level of fitness as it involves a lot of walking, allowing you to really get among nature. Please bring sturdy, comfortable walking shoes and comfortable clothing.

Please read the day-to-day itinerary carefully to find out more details on each day&#39;s activities, and whether they are suitable for you. Activities can be opted out of if you don&#39;t want to participate.

Travellers with special dietary requirements or food allergies are required to advise us at the time of booking.&nbsp;You may be asked to pay for any additional food if you have not advised us of any special dietary requirements.

Australia eats multi-culturally. Everything from meat pies to ramen, tacos, curries, rice and pasta are part of the national diet. Vegetarians and vegans are well-catered for in Australia and most restaurants and cafes will have a good selection of vegetarian meals. Gluten and lactose-free diets are also well-catered for.

Please bring your own staples (nuts, bars, snacks) if you require a diet differing from the above.

Due to limited vehicle space and strictly enforced road laws regarding weight limits, your main piece of luggage must be soft-sided and weigh no more than 15kg/33lb, plus a day pack for snacks and essentials.

<ul>
	<li>Lightweight clothing. You will need to bring a mixture of lightweight clothing and layers. Long shirts and pants are useful to protect against the harsh Australian sun. Clothes should be easy to wash and dry. Maybe bring a change of smart clothes for dinner in larger cities. Australia is pretty casual, shorts or a skirt and a top, with sandals, is our usual warm-weather wardrobe.</li>
	<li>Comfortable, closed-in shoes. These will help to protect your feet from cuts and scratches when walking through bush/grasslands and will act as a protective barrier in the rare case of a bite or sting. A pair of sandals or thongs/flip flops are great for the beach.</li>
	<li>Sun protection. Wide-brimmed hat, sunscreen, sunglasses.</li>
	<li>Camera</li>
	<li>A water bottle to refill along the way</li>
	<li>Try to avoid bringing unnecessary valuables and use your hotel safe</li>
</ul>

&nbsp;Join an incredible 7-day 6-night adventure to encounter a land of rainforests, beaches and waterfalls in the paradise of northern Queensland. See beneath the surface of the beautiful Magnetic Island during an afternoon of snorkelling, meet the First Nations owners of Mungalla Station, discover the untouched wonders of Hinchinbrook Island and walk through heavenly scenery on Dunk Island.

&nbsp;

If you&rsquo;re looking to spot incredible wildlife, hike to waterfalls, swim in clear waters, relax on beautiful beaches and learn about local life from a leader, then this is the adventure for you!

&nbsp;

Day One: Townsville / Magnetic Island (Bungalow - 1 night)

Your adventure begins in Townsville, a delightful coastal city and your gateway to the islands of northern Queensland. A welcome meeting will take place at 1:30 pm today where you&rsquo;ll meet your friendly, local guide and new travel companions. You won&rsquo;t have to wait long to see scenery to take your breath away &ndash; after the meeting you&rsquo;ll hop across to beautiful Magnetic Island on a ferry. On arrival, you&rsquo;ll have time to explore your new surroundings. Recommended is a short walk around Horseshoe Bay Lagoon, famed for its excellent birdwatching opportunities and cacophony of magpie geese. Dinner this evening will be quintessential Aussie fare &ndash; fish and chips. After an exciting first day, retire to your eco-lodge bungalows surrounded by the flora and fauna of the island.

&nbsp;

Day Two: Magnetic Island (Bungalow - 1 night)

Wake up in paradise! This morning board a local bus to Horseshoe Bay, a gorgeous 3km crescent of golden beach. Here you&#39;ll go snorkelling and come face to face with the marine life beneath the bay&rsquo;s clear blue waters. You will be joined by a local guide from Reef Check Australia who is engaged in long-term reef monitoring sites in the Townsville Great Barrier Reef region. Follow the marked snorkel trail and look out for giant clams, impressive coral cover and the old Moltke shipwreck, harbouring an abundance of colourful fish.

&nbsp;

The rest of the day is free for you to experience all this island has to offer. One of the best ways to get to know the island is on foot &ndash; you may like to set off on the Hawkings Point Track, one of the best places to watch the sunrise or sunset, or the Forts Walk, leading you to historic WWII fortifications, with the chance to see koalas hanging out in the trees along the track. The new 5km walking track between Nelly Bay and Arcadia serves up some seriously stunning views and rewards you with the chance to swim in Alma or Geoffrey Bay at the end of the walk. You may prefer to relax in Arcadia Village, home to charming cafes and shops, plus plenty of beaches to while away an afternoon on.

&nbsp;

Day Three: Mungalla Station / Lucinda (Hotel/Motel - 1 Night)

Leave the pull of Magnetic Island behind and catch a ferry back to Townsville, where you&rsquo;ll hop aboard a private vehicle and drive to Mungalla Station, with a stop at Big Crystal Creek for a refreshing swim and another stop for lunch.

&nbsp;

On arrival at Mungalla Station, meet the First Nations owners of the land, the Nywaigi People, and learn about their culture and history, including brutal conflicts with European settlers. The story you&rsquo;ve been told will come to life as you visit an exhibition of pictures within the historic homestead. Then head out and explore the Mungalla wetlands in search of aquatic birdlife. Enjoy an evening at leisure at your accommodation on the Cassowary Coast, serving up unforgettable views of the Hinchinbrook Island National Park.

&nbsp;

Day Four: Hinchinbrook Island / Mission Beach (Hotel/Motel - 1 Night)

Today will be spent exploring the untouched wonder that is Hinchinbrook Island. Not only is this the largest island on the Great Barrier Reef, but it also only permits 40 visitors at a time in the name of preservation, so you&rsquo;ll really feel like you have the whole place to yourself. Jump on a boat across the water, then join your leader and embark on a walk along Zoe Creek to hidden water holes for a swim. From swathes of rainforest and eucalyptus trees to towering peaks and golden sand dunes, Hinchinbrook Island has it all. In the afternoon head on to your overnight stay in Mission Beach.

&nbsp;

Note: Travel to Hinchinbrook Island is dependent on weather and water conditions. In the case that it is unsafe to travel, an inland activity in a nearby National Park will be arranged. Be sure to bring insect repellent with you today to protect against mosquitoes and march flies.

&nbsp;

Day Five: Dunk Island / Mission Beach (Hotel/Motel - 1 Night)

Start your day by catching a boat transfer to Dunk Island, part of the Family Islands group. Get to know the beautiful island on foot during a beach walk. Your leader may share stories of the island&rsquo;s fascinating history as you hike, and you will stop for a lovely picnic lunch to soak up the surroundings. Dunk Island also hosts plenty of magnificent wildlife, so be sure to be on the lookout for dugongs and sea turtles in the ocean, and the famous blue Ulysses butterflies dancing around you. After your walk and your return to Mission Beach on the mainland, the rest of the afternoon is yours to spend as you wish.

&nbsp;

Day Six: Atherton Tablelands (Hotel/Motel - 1 Night)

Make the morning drive to the Atherton Tablelands, and Millaa Millaa Falls. This place looks like a postcard for paradise, with a perfect cascade tumbling into a pool surrounded by lush rainforest. Take some time to soak it all in and snap some pictures, then carry on to Mount Hypipamee National Park for a hike. After your hike, pay a visit to the Tolga Bat Hospital, Australia&rsquo;s largest bat rehabilitation facility. Here you&rsquo;ll learn about the research, advocacy, and community education undertaken by the facility and make some new upside-down friends before continuing to the town of Yungaburra. For this evening&rsquo;s meal, you may like to dine at the historic hotel in the heart of town (own expense).

&nbsp;

Day Seven: Atherton Tablelands / Kuranda / Cairns

Enjoy a morning at leisure to explore Yungaburra. Your first stop today will be Curtain Fig National Park, before leaving the Atherton Tablelands behind and driving on to the Kuranda Markets. Stop along the way at either the Mt Uncle Distillery or the Coffee Works, and at a stunning lookout point at Barron Gorge National Park. The markets sit in Kuranda village, a laidback place with a hippie vibe surrounded by the rainforest. Take some time out to explore the colourful stalls of this iconic Australian market &ndash; if you&rsquo;ve not picked up any souvenirs on your journey yet, this is the place to do it! Perhaps grab a bite to eat from one of the many vendors, then continue your drive towards Cairns. Your adventure will come to an end upon arrival.

&nbsp;
