 This way cool vacation begins in Brisbane. Your driver will meet you at Brisbane’s International Airport and take you north, to Australia’s best beaches on the Sunshine Coast. You stay 3 nights at the Hyatt Coolum Resort – the home of the Australian PGA Championship. The Resort is consistently recognized as one of Australia's finest all-encompassing luxury resort destinations, providing superior accommodation & an unsurpassed range of facilities & activities - all set in a natural environment.
DAY TWO
Today, play 18 holes on the Hyatt Coolum Golf course. Resort golf in Australia doesn’t get better than this 72 par, 6263 meter course. It offers contrasting landscapes, from coastal holes adjoining the Pacific Ocean to manicured fairways that weave their way through native bushland. Designed by renowned golf course architect Robert Trent Jones Jr, a round of golf at this superbly challenging course is complemented by an ideal sub-tropical climate.
DAY THREE
Spend a day at leisure, relaxing at the Resort, by the pool, or on Coolum’s magnificent beach.
DAY FOUR
Your driver will pick you up for your transfer to Brisbane Airport. Fly Brisbane to Cairns (airfares not included)
Located 20 minutes north of Cairns is Paradise Palms Resort & Country Club - a world-class experience spanning contemporary accommodation, championship golf course, clubhouse, restaurant and conference facilities. You’ll spend 4 night here.
 DAY FIVE
Constantly ranked as one of Australia’s best and most challenging courses, the Paradise Palms course offers a combination of sweeping fairways, snaking creeks, six lakes, narrow undulating greens and 94 bunkers. You’ll play 18 holes of golf here today. The course is a great test for golfers of all levels. With no shared fairways, from every tee the golfer is presented with a truly spectacular and demanding layout.
Adeptly described as one of the most serene playing fields to be experienced, the backdrop alone is worth the effort – regardless of form. Designed by Graham Marsh and Ross Watson and first opened in 1990 the par 72 course measures 6,592 meters off the championship tees (with four tee spots on offer) and its’ AGU rating of 76 offers the first clue as to the scale of the challenge that awaits the keen golfer.
DAY SIX
GREAT BARRIER REEF CRUISE
Today you’ll journey to a reef at the very edge of Australia's Continental Shelf, to an underwater world that is a dazzling kaleidoscope of color and brilliance. Agincourt Reef is a magnificent ribbon reef where you can experience firsthand the magic that is the Great Barrier Reef. You can choose to dive, snorkel, or stay dry and explore the stunning reef from the comfort of a semi-sub, just one meter underwater. Watch the fish feeding from a unique underwater viewing platform and underwater observatory or fly in a helicopter (additional cost) over the reef.
DAY SEVEN
