The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
See the impossible blue-and-turquoise coral maze from the air — the view that made this place 'Australia's Galapagos', over reefs and wrecks invisible from any boat deck.
Fly out over the reef, then step off a private vessel straight into some of the clearest, least-dived snorkeling water in Australia, guided by a marine naturalist.
Stand on the tiny coral cay where the 1629 Batavia wreck's survivors turned to mutiny and massacre — one of the most extraordinary and least-known stories in maritime history.
Slip into the water alongside curious wild Australian sea lions and pods of bottlenose dolphins in one of the few places on earth where this happens unscripted.
For those with more than a port day: sleep aboard between the Wallabi, Easter and Pelsaert groups, pulling cray pots and walking uninhabited cays few visitors ever reach.
A quiet, free evening walk to Western Australia's tallest lighthouse and the wind-sculpted dunes beside it, timed to the coast's famous doctor breeze and sunset light.
You know what to do on the day. Here is the trip it belongs to — each one opens as a whole plan, not a list: where to fly in, every port, what it runs.
