Queensland Discovery

Begin your trip with complimentary airport lounge access before your flight to Brisbane, arriving on day three.

Arrive in Brisbane – Queensland’s sunny capital – and make your way to your luxury riverside hotel. With two days to explore, you’ll have plenty of time to take in the city’s vibrant sights, with everything from cafés and art exhibitions to botanic gardens and rooftop bars lining its pretty waterfront. You’ll also be able to sample Australia’s foodie renaissance with local markets and a thriving restaurant scene showcasing the best in farm-to-table produce. Wrap up your Brisbane experience with a full-day cruise, joining an expert local guide for a trip out to Moreton Island and its Tangalooma Resort. Enjoy some free time to relax and enjoy the resort's facilities including pools, bars and restaurants, then head out at sunset to watch pods of dolphins playing in the surf.

Collect your hire car and drive inland to Scenic Rim, the site of your luxurious Hinterland retreat. Set over a 1,000 metres above sea level, this spectacular hideaway is hidden away amid some of Queensland's most beautiful wilderness, from untouched rainforest to the soaring peaks of the Great Dividing Range. You'll have two days here to relax and enjoy the surroundings, heading into the Main Range National Park on self-guided hikes and mountain bike rides, tucking into campfire canapés, relaxing at the spa and joining whisky and gin masterclasses. You might even choose to splash out on the likes of 4WD adventures and even scenic helicopter flights. Whatever you choose, it's all set to a full spread of gourmet delights, from indulgent breakfasts to multi-course, wine-paired dinners.
