Itineraries

Twitchers are spoilt for choice in Australia with over 800 species of birds enabling the country to stake a strong claim to be the world’s greatest hotspot of bird endemism. Many of the species are easy to observe due to their charismatic and colourful physiques and beautiful song.

This is an impressive selection of three diverse lodges and destinations reflecting the vibrant colours of Queensland and several unique World Heritage regions. From the brilliant terracotta’s of the outback, the soothing, dense greens of The Daintree rainforest and the intense blues of the ocean and Great Barrier Reef, these three landscapes are seamlessly combined into one very easy to plan itinerary. As an extension to this colourful experience also consider a visit to Spicers Peak Lodge at the beginning of the itinerary.

The aim of this itinerary is to entice, inspire and connect guests to the outback, bush and desert through experiences that are quintessentially Australian. The true luxury here is in the private exclusivity of the camps and lodges, and the rare privilege of being in these places.

This itinerary embraces Tropical North Queensland’s luxury trifecta, a complementary contrast between rainforest, reef and outback with the ease of access via Cairns, the gateway to northern Queensland. The itinerary features three diverse lodges reflecting the vibrant colours of Queensland, and proximity to irreplaceable World Heritage sites.

Cairns is well-known and loved as a northern Queensland gateway. What is less known is how easy it is to combine the contrast between rainforest and outback in two astounding destinations both within 35mins (by air) or 2.5 hours by road from Cairns.
