On one of your days at the Lodge, a helicopter can pick you up (as an optional extra) for a morning of adventure, visiting one of the world's most beautiful natural phenomena - the outer Great Barrier Reef.

The helicopter flies to a fully equipped pontoon on the outer edge of the Great Barrier Reef, where guests can snorkel the largest and most pristine coral reef in the world. An optional scuba dive is also available for certified divers.

See the TARIFFS & AVAILABILITY page for details of the helicopter tour to the outer reef.

The Lodge owns and operates its own 34 foot sailing catamaran (the "Wilderness Explorer") with an experienced local skipper and guide.

Every day is a new adventure exploring the dozens of islands, coral gardens and deserted beaches surrounding Paradise Bay. Help the skipper with the sails or just lay back and watch paradise go by.

The catamaran departs every day (except Sunday) at about 10am returning at about 4pm.

There are dozens of deserted beaches and coral gardens within two hours' sail of Paradise Bay.

The "Wilderness Explorer" sails daily to locations rarely visited by other people.

Swimming and snorkelling the warm subtropical waters of the Whitsunday Islands, while enjoying the spectacular scenery and unspoilt environment.

There are also dozens of trails in the area - to explore the national park rainforest and see some
of the unique Australian fauna and flora during guided or self guided tours.
