6 Day Cairns to Port Douglas

North Queensland offers a different style of charter, where mainland rainforest, coral islands and outer-reef systems can all be combined within one journey. Cairns and Port Douglas are established gateways to the Great Barrier Reef, with access to coral cays, island destinations and outer reef sites designed for snorkelling and diving. This six-day itinerary begins in Cairns and gradually moves north, combining tropical islands with offshore reef exploration before reaching Port Douglas and the Low Isles. Compared with the Whitsundays itinerary, the emphasis shifts away from beach-hopping and toward marine life, snorkelling, diving and reef discovery.

4 Day Reef & Sand Cay Escape

Discover the Great Barrier Reef on a four-day yacht charter from Cairns, combining Arlington Reef’s underwater scenery, Opal Reef’s coral gardens, and the turquoise shallows surrounding Upolu Cay.

6 Day Coral Cay Voyage

Discover the Great Barrier Reef on a six-day yacht charter combining Arlington Reef, Opal and St Crispin reefs, and Ribbon Reef No. 3 before returning through Low Isles and Upolu Cay. Enjoy underwater exploration, island visits, and relaxed evenings onboard, with Cairns providing the starting and finishing point. The route combines destinations found in professional charter itineraries, with longer offshore passages requiring careful scheduling.
