You can choose to relax and sun yourself by the pool and book some day spa treatments at Spa Q or you can get into some more energetic action and have a few rounds of tennis, jump on the resort guest’s bicycles and take a tour on wheels of the local regions attractions.

During the months of June to October you can enjoy the Outdoor Moonlight Cinema to catch up on some old favourite movies under the stars. At night you can all meet at the Estilo bar for pre-dinner drinks and then meander over to the resort restaurant or catch a shuttle into town to sample some of the award winning restaurants you may have read about.

There is just so much to do at QT Resort if you win the holiday prize you will definitely need to book some more room nights and if so we have some very special unpublished rates we could offer for you to do so!

Quicksilver Cruises

Quicksilver Cruises these are the most respected and multi award winning tourism hall of fame Great Barrier Reef tour operators that take thousands of guests to the reef every single year.

From Port Douglas they cruise out on the luxurious Wavepiercer which offers a very stable ride to the outer edges of the Agincourt Ribbon Reefs where you spend the day on a platform and begin all of your in water activities from here.

You can snorkel with a marine biologist and learn about the creatures on the reef, you can try an introductory scuba dive, you can walk under water on a platform with a helmet on your head and see all the fish and scuba divers around you and all the snorkelers above you and you can also enjoy just relaxing on the sun beds on top of the platform.

All meals are catered for the day and you may also buy snacks and drinks from the canteen on board. You can even post a letter from the pontoon!

From here you get to enjoy a wonderful opportunity to ride in a helicopter with Great Barrier Reef Helicopters.

 

Great Barrier Reef Helicopters

These pilots have seen it all on the Great Barrier Reef so they know the spots to get you to so you can take that idealic picture of the reef from the helicopter. With your holiday prize you can experience a 10 minute helicopter ride for 2 flying very low over the reef allowing you to see the lace like coral formations, the marine life and the changing colours of the water. If you would like to upgrade your flight to 15 minutes or a half hour flight then just let us know and we can book it in for you based on availability but of course this will be at your cost to do so.

The Great Barrier Reef Helicopter Group has a wonderful reputation not only in tourism but also in government work and private company work and their fleet of helicopters are some of the best in Australia.

Come fly with me come fly with come fly away…

 

Jungle Surfing Canopy Tours

Whoo hoo swinging thru the vines like Tarzan and Jane yep that’s me! Again another one of Cape Tribulation and Tropical North Queensland’s multi award winning tour operators is the Jungle Surfing crew of tree huggers hiding up there in the middle of the World Heritage Rainforests. These guys have won so many tourism awards they will soon be heading for the Hall Of Fame and no longer be allowed to enter tourism awards as they always win!!

They strap you into your tree climbing gear and then make you jump on the Human Hamster wheel so you can get your fellow surfers up to the first platform high up in the trees and then you are hoisted up to join them.

You are all assigned your own crazy character as your tour guide and safety expert and they take you along and show you all the tricky moves to zip line from one tree to the next stopping to take some wonderful photographs and to learn about the critters in your surroundings and all about the precious rainforests that need your assistance in their preservation.

This whole tree luving, tree hugging experience will have you amused for around 3 hours and have you in fits of laughter and you will have some great funny picture to take home as memories also.

So what do you think of all of these exciting tours, attractions and accommodation as your holiday prize? Are you keen to enter the holiday competition now?
