Airlie Beach - Ocean Rafting ship excursion. Cairns - spent hours in the free pool on the foreshore. Afternoon - ship excursion - stretch limo tour to Cairns Cascades and Port Douglas. Port Douglas - did the ship excursion with Quicksilver to outer reef platform for snorkeling. All done through Carnival. Enjoyed all of them. tip - if you haven’t done a cruise by of Willis Island before, make sure you are on the open deck as you slowly cruise past as the reef pilot will interview one of the scientists who live on the island and broadcast it through the ship speakers. Interesting

John’s GBR photos are from Reef Magic out of Cairns. A similar ship excursion is available out of Port Douglas. Like John, we were blessed with very calm seas and snorkeling was also done off a large floating platform. (This excursion was in December) They also have the submarine available for non-swimmers.

I love Eden. Been twice on the short cruises from Sydney. Nice to explore on foot - down to the beach and the lookouts and up to the lookouts closest to the ship. Also the whale watching cruise in season and the guided walk into the National Park (ship excursion). Like you. would love to return for a road trip to the area. Sorry you missed out on Port Arthur. Our cruise had most beautiful weather day. The water was sparkling. Such an interesting and sad place to visit. Been wanting to your cruise for a while for the scenic cruising portion.
