Located approx 25km north of Cairns, Palm Cove is a tropical paradise which is perfectly situated between Cairns and Port Douglas. The village has numerous restaurants and spas, as well as a range of water activities. There's also a beautiful golf course and shops include boutique, resort wear and hair/beauty salons, galleries and health and fitness facilities.

Your luxurious boutique accommodation will be your home away from home for 5 nights and your package includes two full day tours.

The first is a day cruise from Cairns to the Outer Barrier Reef (return transfers included), where you will spend approx four hours on the reef. Enjoy time snorkelling, exploring and learning more about the Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest coral reef system.

Arlington Reef is one of the largest and healthiest reef systems within the Great Barrier Reef and is a very shallow reef which remains submerged even at low tide. This aids strong coral growth and also means that the reef is bathed in light at both high and low tide. Combined with the clarity of the azure waters, this means that even if you don’t wish to get wet, youcan still enjoy stunning views of the coral and marine life. Your cruise departs Cairns at 10:00am and returns to Cairns at approx 4:30pm (return transfers to Cairns included)

Your second is a full day tour to the Daintree and Cape Tribulation to explore this iconic area. View a myriad of Australian animals in their recreated natural environments, then travel on the Daintree Ferry and deep into the world's oldest rainforest. Explore the Daintree Rainforest on a guided rainforest boardwalk tour and see where the 'Rainforest meets the Reef'. Marvel at stunning rainforest views at Alexandra Range Lookout and search for wild crocodiles on a Daintree River Cruise.
