Great views, good food and friendly company will make an excellent start to your adventure.

A fascinating and relaxing sea passage following the Great Barrier Reef and isolated coast line in the footsteps of Captain Cook.

DAY 3 SEISIA - CAPE YORK (BLD)

This morning we cruise through the Island studded Straits to Seisia where you will be met by your driver/guide who will take you to your campsite. Having familiarized your selves with the camp the rest of the afternoon is yours, maybe a spot of fishing or a stroll along the beach. (STL)

A free day! After breakfast, you have the following options (own expense):
• Catch the ferry to Thursday Island, join a guided bus tour
• Spend the day at Seisia, fishing (hand lines available) or stroll along the beach
• For those who wish to fish further afield, we can suggest suitable boat hire

DAY 5 CAPE YORK - SOMERSET (BLD)

An unforgettable day! Stand at the very top of mainland Australia and celebrate with champagne and photographs. We then visit Somerset, once the home of the legendary Jardine family and lunch on palm fringed Anchorage Beach which overlooks the Albany Passage. A walk on the beach completes your day before returning to camp. (STL)

Southward bound, we cross the mighty Jardine River. We travel along the upper section of the Old Telegraph Track, en route for Elliot Falls (Indian Head Falls) and Twin Falls. An early arrival allows plenty of time to enjoy a refreshing swim and view the pristine falls. (Bc+T)

DAY 7 TWIN FALLS - WEIPA (BLD)

An early start today! We travel on to Fruit Bat Falls, where you can enjoy the view and have a refreshing swim. A southerly run through the wilderness with all its varied landscapes to cross the Wenlock River. We head for the shores of the Gulf of Carpentaria and our overnight stop at our campsite in Weipa, with its view over Albatross Bay. (STL)

This morning there will be the opportunity of a tour of the largest bauxite mine in the world (own expense). Leaving this modern town behind, we head towards the Wenlock River. Then we make our way to our campsite at picturesque Archer River. (STL)

DAY 9 ARCHER RIVER ?LAKEFIELD NATIONAL PARK (BLD)

This morning we head east towards Princess Charlotte Bay, where we traverse almost the entire length of Lakefield National Park (road conditions permitted), an amalgamation of 3 huge cattle stations, now a haven for the many birds and animals, native to this area. Lagoons, billabongs, and wide river lakes are home to both fresh and saltwater crocodiles. We camp tonight at Kalpower Crossing. (ST)

An early start enables us to watch the sun rise over the swamps of Lakefield and to listen to the awakening bird life. Travelling southwards, we’ll come across various water holes where, with luck, the warming sun may bring crocodiles to the banks. We continue on to Old Laura Homestead and from here we head towards Cooktown via the Battle Camp Road. Visit the Cooktown Museum (own expense), Captain Cooks Landing and Grassy Hill Lookout. (STL)
