Where two World Heritage areas meet
Port Douglas provides direct access to the world’s largest marine park - The Great Barrier Reef. The reef extends over 2300km of coastline, from the tip of Cape York to the Central Queensland Coast. There are 2900 individual reefs and 71 coral islands and cays. It is one of the natural wonders of the world and Galaxy I is perfect for exploring just about all of it.
Looking from Galaxy I’s decks towards land, nature’s splendour is on display with the World Heritage listed rainforests of North Queensland. A never ending canopy of green, it is the oldest continuing rainforest on Earth.
Galaxy I can design an itinerary to combine both these areas that will be remembered long after the trip has ended.
The coast of Tropical North Queensland is the only place on Earth where two World Heritage areas meet. With individual needs in mind, the following sample itineraries have been designed for guests of Galaxy I to experience both single day and multi day itineraries that encapsulate the magic of the Tropical North.
Alternatively, Galaxy I is ideally suited to take advantage of the stunning island group of the Whitsundays.
