Close your eyes and think of the most amazing dive you can do. Warm water! 70 metre vis! Large Pelagics! Sharks in a feeding frenzy! Wall dives on the continental shelf! Turtles! Dolphins! Whales! Now imagine white water rafting grade 4 rapids!

Change thoughts.

Imagine you are driving a 4 wheel drive through the oldest living rainforest on earth. Driving through rivers with crocodile warning signs. Climbing tracks so steep you would almost need ropes if you weren’t in a 4 wheel drive. Viewing ancient Aboriginal rock art, 24,000 years old.

Now.

Driving the Australian Outback, kangaroos hopping around your vehicle. Cold beer around the camp fire, watching the sun set in the distance. Sleeping in swags under the countless stars. With the guide Discovery Channel uses when they come to Australia. Stop dreaming. Do the Reef, Outback & Rainforest dive Adventure.

Based in Cairns, Far North Queensland, Reef, Outback & Rainforest Adventures is a company that prides itself as the bench mark for adventure tourism in Australia. We believe it is better to forge the track rather than follow the path. We know you will not find a better product or more value for your money.

The Reef, Outback & Rainforest dive Adventure is designed for the diver with limited time but who wants to experience the best possible in two weeks. Leave London Heathrow / US Airport on Friday night, arriving in sunny Cairns on Sunday morning. We transfer you to your accommodation in the heart of Cairns where you can recover from your flight and relax by the lagoon.

 
Great Barrier Reef Dive Tour Itinerary

Monday morning you take the keys and drive your 4 wheel drive up the coast road and into the jungle. Stop and cruise the rivers searching for the estuarine crocodile, the largest reptile on earth. Push deeper into the jungle, driving through rivers, climbing the tracks, before reaching camp and enjoying the free beer and wine around the fire. Dine on delicious food including crocodile, barramundi and kangaroo, learn to play the didgeridoo before falling asleep beneath the stars. » View Sample Menu PDF

Wake to the sounds of the birds and the smell of bacon and eggs on the fire. 4 wheel drive through the Australian Outback, through Aboriginal lands viewing the rock art, swimming in waterholes and camp at the Tyrconnell Gold Mine.

Wednesday morning we explore the gold mine before 4 wheel driving over Mount Misery. Swim in a volcanic crater and under magnificent waterfalls. Return to Cairns exhausted but exhilarated from your three day adventure.

Wake on Thursday with two choices. Relax and do nothing or make the most of the adventures Cairns has to offer. Skydive from 14,000ft or take a 150 metre parasail bungy jump. Go reef fishing or quad bike riding, play golf on the ninth best golf course in Australia - the choices are endless.

After a sleep in on Friday it is time to board our 100 ft luxury dive vessel to take you to the Coral Sea. The next five days is spent diving the Great Barrier Reef. Each dive your senses are ambushed, picking the highlight will be the hardest part. Shark diving, deep wall dives, dolphins, whales, turtles and amazing coral. Warm water and great vis. A total of 14 dives in arguably one of the best dive sites in the world.

We tie up back in Cairns on Tuesday night wishing it would never end. You will need Wednesday to recover and to prepare for white water rafting on the Tully River on Thursday. Friday is free to pick up souvenirs before departing Cairns International Airport on Saturday afternoon. The bad news is you arrive back at London Heathrow / US Airport early Sunday morning giving you time to get ready for work on Monday. The good news - you have just had the best holiday of you life!
