Brisbane to Cairns Experience: Sand Dunes & the Whitsundays

If you're big on ambition but short on time, sign yourself up for this zippy ten-day tour up the east coast of Queensland. Play transport bingo as you hop on a yacht, train, truck, and private vehicle to get around your destinations. Hit K'gari (Fraser Island) and the Whitsundays, go snorkelling, and explore the beauty of Noosa. Your time here may be fleeting, but your friends and family probably won't ever hear the end of this seriously epic trip.

Travelers who prefer to immerse themselves in one or two locations for a week will find this trip too fast. This tour is for the 'sampler' who wants to experience a wide variety of Queensland's greatest hits—from sand islands to coral reefs—in a single, action-packed journey, prioritizing breadth of experience over depth in any one spot.
