We recommend flying back from Lizard Island for an unforgettable end to your reef expedition. This option extends your time on the reef and provides a stunning aerial perspective of your journey. Cruise north with the comfort of a following sea, then take to the skies for a panoramic flight home, taking in the beauty of the Great Barrier Reef from above. It’s the perfect way to complete your experience in style.

After days filled with exploration, unwind with gourmet meals prepared by our onboard chef, sunset drinks, and stargazing in secluded anchorages.
