Mystery Trip

The mystery trip has been revealed ...

This is going to be quite the adventure.  We start with a week in Tonga to swim with the Humpback Whales.  Tonga is one of only 2 places in the world where you can legally get in the water with the whales and swim with them.  And, of those two places, Tonga is the only place where you swim with the whales in calm waters protected by the islands (as opposed to open seas).

Then we are off to New Zealand to enjoy a day of hiking and rafting through the Waitomo Caves to see the glow worms and pump up the adrenaline!  They call it Black Water Rafting and includes a 3 hour tour as you work your way through tight squeezes, take leaps of faith over cascading underground waterfalls and float serenely down river as you enjoy the glowworm show on the vaulted limestone galleries up above!

But, wait ... we're not done ...

Next, we journey to Australia!  We will spend 4 nights aboard the Spirit of Freedom and diving the Coral Sea.  We will dive the Ribbon Reefs and Osprey Reef in the Coral Sea.  Osprey Reef is an old volcanic atoll lying 220km off the coast and renowned for its 1000m walls.  Osprey Reef is also famous for massive soft corals, amazing shark action and exceptional visibility.  The North Horn at Osprey is a site where grey reef sharks, silvertips and the occasional oceanic congregate for our viewing pleasure!

When we disembark the Spirit of Freedom, we will head to the scenic Atherton Tablelands for a rainforest tour.  The Atherton Tablelands is an area that features a range of habitats including lush tropical rainforest and volcanic crater lakes.  By day, we will see the Musky Rat Kangaroo, Boyd's Forest Dragon and a selection of rainforest birds.  At dusk we will venture to the river to search for Platypus, one of the most unique mammals on Earth!

It's going to be a great trip with great people and great adventures!
