Beach Getaways

Have you ever visited the beautiful Green Island? Pristine white beaches and crystal clear waters, all surrounded by stunning reef, make Green Island a beach holiday destination to remember.

Hop in a kayak and paddle lazily around the island, snorkel in the azure waters, kick back on the beach – or for the more adventurous – take a scenic flight, or walk on the ocean floor and see the fish on a Seawalker Helmet Diving trip.

The food is second to none, with many options available, ranging from a restaurant dinner to a pre-packed beach picnic set. For the kids there’s an ice-cream parlour, and for the adults you really can’t go past an indulgent cocktail served poolside.

Cruising on the Water

Why not try a different style of holiday? While everyone else is on a ferry on their way to the islands, why not try captaining your own ship? That may sound a little crazy, but when you see a Tinaroo Houseboat you’ll understand. You don’t need a licence to hire or operate one, and you can take your houseboat all over the lake’s beautiful waters. A cruising and mooring map along with personal instructions from the staff will ensure that your holiday is safe and enjoyable.

There is plenty of wildlife to be seen, with platypus, many varieties of birds and also fish. Speaking of which, the barramundi in Lake Tinaroo are massive, and fishing is permitted, with freshwater crayfish also calling the lake home.Take the family out and have an extremely relaxing and unique getaway.

What about diving or snorkelling?

Dive Career Centre can offer both! Learn to dive from highly qualified instructors, or snorkel leisurely above the reef and marvel at the colourful aquatic life. If you’re short for time this is a great opportunity for a getaway.

Inland Adventures

Take the family on a cultural adventure for your next getaway!

Jowalbinna Rock Art Safari Camp is an incredible site of Indigenous Australian culture. Take a tour of the amazing rock art, some of which dates back to over 30,000 years old!

Afterwards, you can have a dip in a freshwater swimming hole, learn to throw a boomerang, create your own art, go on a bushwalk and take in the stunning scenery – there’s so much to do, and you’ll find yourself completely engaged in the environment and culture you are shown.

Tour packages are also available, allowing for even more adventure and extensive cultural experiences.

If you’re looking for an extremely relaxing inland getaway, you could stay at the Rainforest Family Retreat, an elevated home nestled in the rainforest overlooking Redlynch Valley, sporting 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 showers, 2 toilets and a bath. This is 5 star luxury accommodation at its best.

There’s a lot to do at the Rainforest Retreat, or if you prefer, absolutely nothing. Soak in the freshwater swimming holes, pool or spa and sip champagne while the kids play with toys or watch DVDs.

The Rainforest Family Retreat can be a great chance for couples to unwind, or for the whole family to have an indulgent and fun getaway.

So now you know some of the options available to you and your family for a getaway or holiday. Relaxing by the beach, cruising on the water and adventuring inland are all fantastic ways to spend time with the family and loved ones. To find more great places to visit check out the Hype directory.
