Itinerary: (3 stops*)
• Townsville City and Castle Hill lookout*

• Marina / Casino / Palmer Street area
Comment: This is a detailed 2-hour tour that is full of information about Townsville's past, present and future. If you are curious to know about this place you have travelled so far to visit, then this tour will inform you and show you the most scenic of city sights as well as educate you on what makes Townsville tick.
OPTION 2: Above Scenic and History Tour PLUS visit to Billabong Sanctuary (4.5 hours)
Comment: After dropping those who wish to finish for the day back to the cruise ship, we then travel out of the city to Billabong Sanctuary which is located around 15 kilometres from Townsville. This is a wonderful animal sanctuary that shows many of Australia's unique animals in their natural bush environment. There are regular scheduled tours that explain the animals and their behaviour. This experience is very popular with our visitors.
OPTION 3: Includes above options 1 & 2 PLUS your choice of visiting either Reef HQ Great Barrier Reef Aquarium or the Museum of Tropical Queensland (6.5 Hours)
Comment: After dropping those who wish to finish for the day back to the cruise ship, we then head over to King Street where two great Townsville attractions sit side by side. We give you the option of which one you want to experience during the last part of what is a fantastic day out discovering Townsville. You are provided with an introduction tour followed by ample time to discover the rest of the attraction. You will then be taken back to the cruise ship.
