Day 7 : Sadly, your charter flight returns you to Cairns Airport where you rejoin the world.

HIGHLIGHTS
  • The charter flight over some of the Cape York wilderness
  • Dine on freshly caught lobster, retire to a romantic tree house
  • The pure luxury of getting so far away from the rest of the world
  • The sheer fantasy of a ‘deserted’ tropical paradise isle

JOURNEY DETAILS

Day 1 - Haggerstone Island, 6 nights

On arrival at Cairns Airport, transfer to your charter flight for the journey to Haggerstone Island. This stunning two-hour flight takes you over tropical rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef. If you are lucky you may be able to spot a crocodile sunning itself on the beach, perhaps the shadow of a shark in the shallows, or a turtle or manta ray wallowing in the waters just off the coastline.

On Hick Island, Roy Turner will meet you for the boat trip across the channel to Haggerstone Island. After a long morning’s journey you will quickly relax into the rhythm of this remote island oasis.

Accommodation ranges in style from the Robinson Crusoe Beach House to the Tree House built amongst the forest canopy. Each is uniquely decorated with local artefacts, shells, driftwood, and each has a wooden deck with views to the ocean. The main living area is a large timber room, with open kitchen, dining area and library. The garden is a pleasure and much of the produce is home grown. Combined with fresh caught fish each meal is refreshingly simple and totally delicious.

Day 2 to 6 - Haggerstone Island

Lose yourself in island life, Haggerstone is a unique wilderness site and offers unparalleled remoteness and exclusivity. Roy and Anna Turner have made it their home since 1985 and it is one of Australia’s greatest natural experiences.

Roy’s knowledge of the reef, its fish, birds and other marine inhabitants is second to none and a series of day trips will include visits to nearby reefs for snorkelling and catching lobsters, trips to the outer reef where the coral formations finally drop into the deep blue abyss of the Pacific ocean, journeys up the coastal rivers to see rainforest and the land based wildlife and visits to the magnificent silica dunes of Cape Grenville.

Along the way there will be stops to swim amongst pristine coral reefs, fish for your lunch and picnic on freshly caught lobster on uninhabited sand cays.

Day 7 - Return to Cairns

After breakfast, Roy will transfer you to Hick Island for your private charter flight to Cairns.
