The adventure

Four minutes of total darkness. A lifetime of bragging rights. Start in tropical Cairns, trading skylines for Mossman Gorge's trails and a day on the Great Barrier Reef, before flying to Sydney for the main event: an exclusive Eclipse Party at historic Q Station. Finish in Melbourne, with laneway culture and First Nations history to round things out.

Arrive any time and prepare for an unforgettable celestial spectacle.

Set sail for the Great Barrier Reef on a full-day excursion! Spend the day snorkeling among colorful coral reefs and marine life, with lunch included onboard.

Today, travel to Mossman Gorge, nestled at the southern edge of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Daintree Rainforest. Discover ancient flora, traditional bush medicine, and sacred sites deeply connected to the local Kuku Yalanji culture and refuel with an included lunch before returning to Cairns.

Catch a morning flight from Cairns to Sydney. Upon arrival, enjoy an included lunch before joining an afternoon orientation walk with your CEO to get acquainted with the harbor city's vibrant streets and top sights.
