Dive down undah in Australia!

June 13–25, 2009

Welcome you to the bush...

Join us "down undah" for the adventure trip of a lifetime in June of 2009! We will stay in Cairns, visit Kuranda, spend a day whitewater rafting, three days (and four nights) diving with Minke whales from Mike Ball's liveaboard, do the Undara Experience, and even have a couple of free days thrown in for you to shop and play. All this from June 13 to 25, 2009! You will have the opportunity to taste a crocodile, hold a koala bear, pet a kangaroo, and dive the Great Barrier Reef!

 

Prices for this trip will range from $4513.99** to $5093.38** per person depending on the liveaboard cabin class you choose. And as always, our prices include round trip airfare from Honolulu, all hotel, boat, liveaboard, activity transfers, and more. $300/pp deposits are due immediately, and our trips do sell out, so book now!

** These rates are based on today's exchange rate of .89 per $1.00 Australian, double occupancy and are subject to change when 2009 air contracts become available. We cannot guarantee the airfare until these rates become available in July 2008.
