On arrival at the reef we moor alongside a state of the art pontoon where throughout your day on the reef you will have the opportunity to enjoy snorkelling over the colourful corals and tropical fish which inhabit the reef. For those wishing to view the wonderful array of colours and still manage to remain dry, perhaps visit the underwater observatory or board a semi-submersible submarine. The richness of the coral and marine life as fish swim all around is unforgettable. Lunch is also served on-board the ship during the day before we return to Palm Cove.

We explore the Blue Mountains today, named after the perpetual haze which colours them. The Blue Mountains National Park is one of the most visited areas of New South Wales and glorious views across the deep canyons, gorges and rainforest valleys and of the famous Three Sisters rock formation can be seen. For those who wish to see more of Australia's own 'Grand Canyon', a ride on the skyway cable car or the scenic railway, the steepest in the world, are worth an experience. Later we return to our hotel for time to enjoy some of the fine facilities.

DAY 17 SYDNEY (NEW YEARS EVE)
While the day is at leisure to enjoy the build-up to this annual extravaganza, this evening we enjoy one of the best vantage points on Sydney Harbour onboard the MV Sydney 2000. Our vessel departs from Circular Quay and cruises the harbour while serving a sumptuous dinner with all drinks included and a live band for accompaniment. The conclusion of our unforgettable evening comes at midnight with the stunning firework display from the harbour bridge, all viewed from the comfort of our ship with a prime location on the harbour water.

DAYS 18 - 20 SYDNEY

Why not take a cruise to Manly or Bondi beach to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, or explore Macquarie Street - home of the State Conservatory of Music, Parliament House and the Mint - and the shopping areas of Pitt Street and the Queen Victoria Building. With most sites and areas of interest in close proximity, the best way to explore the city is on foot. Stroll through the streets of the charming old dockyards of the Rocks, saved in the '60s and '70s by conservationists, now a warren of shops, galleries and restaurants or take an in depth tour of the Sydney Opera House. For dinner on the waterfront, take the ferry to Watsons Bay and dine at Doyles, one of Sydney's well-known restaurants specialising in local seafood, a favourite of locals as well as visitors.
