A day of sailing and snorkeling in the Whitsunday Islands takes us to one of the top ten beaches in the world! In the Outback we enjoy a homestay on a working ranch. Milk cows, ride a horse, 4WD and sleep under the twinkling stars of the Southern Cross! Next stop is the world famous Australian Zoo to see koalas, kangaroos, and of course, crocs!
We catch a ferry across to Fraser Island to 4WD beach-cruise and swim in one of the 200 freshwater lakes. Teeming with bird and animal life, washed-up shipwrecks and the occasional remote settlement, Fraser Island is a natural paradise.
Surf's up! Enjoy the historical surf spot in the town of 1770 with a three-day surf school. In the afternoons we give back to the beautiful places we have seen.
All students must pass a thorough SCUBA diving physical and cannot have used an inhaler or suffered from asthma in the past three years. For those not wishing to SCUBA dive, alternative water activities are available.
