Once at the reef, disembark the vessel and board the state of the art interactive pontoon - Reefworld - which offers a multitude of facilities and included experiences.

For something more relaxed, you can choose to top up your tan on the Sun Deck.

There are also a host of optional activities that you can take part in such as SCUBA diving, helicopter flights over the Reef or guided snorkelling tours.

All these activities are sure to make you hungry. Enjoy included morning and afternoon teas as well a sumptuous buffet lunch featuring local seasonal produce. Enjoy free tea and coffee or visit the fully stocked bar for a range of alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages.

The Proserpine River wetland eco environment sustains a massive array of native wildlife including saltwater crocodiles, wallabies, birds, insects, mangroves ecosystem and a melaleuca forest. See Proserpine township. Cruise down the calm river waters onboard this all-weather vessel, seeing the prolific wildlife residents of the mangrove habitat, including crocodile spotting and mud crab capture. Enjoy a delicious barbecue lunch at the safari campsite. Board an open-air, tractor-drawn wagon-train travelling through wetlands, seasonal waterholes and a melaleuca forest. Billy tea and damper, cooked on site, will finish off this incredible eco tour.

Today we leave Airlie Beach on-board a coach tour passing the magnificent azure waters of the Whitsunday Passage to Proserpine township and to the estuarine waters of the Proserpine River system. Experience an educational eco cruise on the Proserpine River while seated in complete safety and comfort, see wild saltwater crocodiles as you cruise (estuarine or saltwater crocodiles are the most dangerous, around 150 "salties" inhabit this area), be fascinated by some of the characters you meet and their unique behaviours and investigate the marine mangrove ecosystem. Our guides will attempt to catch the famous Queensland mud crab and provide an entertaining insight into their features and fascinating life-cycle, before releasing the crabs back into Proserpine River. Your delicious BBQ and seafood lunch is freshly prepared onsite while you relax in comfort at the covered and well equipped campsite. See the land as Captain Cook saw it on the open-air tractor-drawn wagon-train through Goorganga wetlands. Marvel at the many species of flora and fauna and experience unique Australian habitats including melaleuca forests, pastures, marine mangroves and saltpans which fringe the Proserpine River. The expert commentary delivered by our friendly guides during the day will help you to gain a deeper appreciation of our unique nature and our remarkable country. Learn about the history of damper and billy-tea as our guides prepare them fresh for afternoon tea. Discover the secrets of the recipes and just how good they taste as you sample some traditional "bush tucker".
