You can start your seven night cruise aboard Reef Endeavour every Friday or Monday from Cairns. We know the reef intimately and our itineraries offer a total reef and rainforest experience.
The following itinerary is for Friday cruise departures. * Days shown are for Monday departures.

Day 1 (Day 1)* Cairns/Fitzroy Island
Reef Endeavour sets sail from Cairns. Relax and be carried away on your Barrier Reef adventure. Experience Fitzroy Island's tropical rainforest on an escorted walk.

Day 2 (Day 6)* Hedley Reef.
A full day to snorkel, dive and explore the wonders of the sea. Hedley Reef was produced over thousands of years by billions of tiny coral polyps. Join the marine naturalist in the glass bottom boat or simply luxuriate on-board and enjoy the delights of shipboard life.

Day 3 (Day 7)* Hinchinbrook Channel & Dunk Island.
It's hard to imagine a lovelier cruising channel than Hinchinbrook. Green canopies, mangrove lagoons and long curving beaches provide refuge for native birds, dolphins, dugongs and migrating whales. Then on to exotic Dunk Island, a tropical paradise and a beachcomber's delight. Take a rainforest walk or enjoy the island resort hospitality.

Day 4 (Day 5)* Cairns.
Reef Endeavour returns to Cairns 8.00am. While in Cairns, enjoy an optional complimentary tour to Kuranda, via the scenic Sky Rail. At 2.00pm we depart for Fitzroy Island.

Day 5 (Day 2)* Cooktown & Two Isles.
Captain Cook sought refuge here to repair his ship 'Endeavour'. Today Cooktown is a small, historic country town. Two Isles is your own uninhabited coral cay where the only sounds are the local bird life and the waves on the reef.

Day 6 (Day 3)* Lizard Island.
Lizard Island is the jewel of the reef. An early morning climb to the island peak is rewarded with panoramic views. Snorkel over coral gardens or hand feed fish from the glass bottom boat - then slip away for a romantic stroll along a balmy bay.

Day 7 (Day 4)* Ribbon Reef No. 5.
Ribbon Reef No. 5 is one of the Marine Park's most spectacular and remote destinations lying on the edge of the continental shelf. This is home to a profusion of unbelievable sea creatures. For armchair coral viewing, join the marine naturalist in the glass bottom boat. Tonight you are invited to the Captain's Farewell Dinner - a night to remember.

Day 8 (Day 8)* Reef Endeavour bids you farewell on return to Cairns. Disembark 8.00am.
