Asked on January 16th, 2024If we fly in/out of Melborne, how do we connect with the tour? How do we get back to Melborne from Sydney?

Asked on May 23rd, 2023Is it possible to add scuba diving to the Great Barrier Reef trip rather than snorkeling? Also, we are a group of 3 people so we will need 2 rooms. Is the advertised cost per person based on single or double occupancy? Please confirm that all flights within Australia are included and please explain what the additional upfront cost 0f $1,745 is for.

Traveler•Written May 2023I am flexible but would prefer the October date. Might be able to make November work but it would be difficult.
- TrafalgarOperator•Written May 2023
It turns out that the 08-Oct-2023 start date for Australian Highlights is not available and the earliest start date that we have is on 10-Dec-2023. The cost for a twin room is $5820 per person while a single room costs $7780 per person. Scuba diving is not available for the Great Barrier Reef trip.
