Australia's Great Barrier Reef, Rainforest & Outback

May 26 – June 11, 2007 - or whenever you want!


  Hop with Kangaroos in the Undara Outback, ride a zipline across the tree top canopy of the Daintree Rainforest, and immerse yourself in the splendor of the Great Barrier Reef. Join Huron Scuba President Rachael on our fourth trip to Australia, where the land and people are as awesome as the diving and snorkeling. This trip is planned to perfection, the right mix at the right time of year, down to the last detail, including diving at the onset of Minke Whale season so that we may have in-water whale encounters. This itinerary includes Dave's favorite all-time dive sites – Steve's Bommie and Pixie Pinnacle. Cruise onboard Mike Ball's 120' Spoilsport for seven nights on a special route designed especially for Huron Scuba; many of these dive sites rarely see divers.

Scheduled Excursions

Undara Outback and Lava Tubes: Get the real Australian Outback experience and hear the “roar of silence” as you hike among sixteen species of Kangaroos and Wallabies. Enjoy a champagne toast as you see the sunset across the Outback, then listen to bush stories around the camp fire and sleep in restored train coaches.

Hot Air Balloon Tour w/Aboriginal Park Tour: Watch the sunrise over the Atherton Tablelands as you float through the sky in a hot air balloon. Take in a champagne breakfast buffet and tour of Tjapukai Aboriginal Culture Park.  (This hot air balloon tour will add $95 to your trip package.)

Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation: Be amazed at the prehistoric flora in the Daintree Rainforest at Cape Tribulation. Sleep in unique rooms built into the forest. Live the rainforest canopy on a zip-line tour. Horseback beach tours available.
