My desire to visit somewhere warm is overwhelming, so we are off to North Queensland to visit Port Douglas and The Great Barrier Reef.
We are required to stay in Auckland on 2nd October before our flights to Cairns on the 3rd October with a transfer to Port Douglas.
Flights into Cairns and then a transfer to Port Douglas. Accommodation has been arranged at Mantra Portsea.
Twin share rooms and a continental breakfast each morning. On our day of arrival we will not plan any activities as I feel we will need to get accustomed to the tropical heat, and it will also be a great day to explore our hotel and surroundings. On the return we fly into Auckland late on the evening of the 9 th
so we stay another night in Auckland before returning to Hawke’s Bay on the 10 th.

The Daintree Rainforest is the oldest Rainforest in the
World. It is a living museum of flora and fauna dating back 250 million years. There are close to 200 species of plants which only grow in the Wet Tropics, of which about 170 have been found north of the
Daintree River, with perhaps 30 of them growing only in the Daintree and nowhere else in the world.
