  • SUNDAY, AUGUST 22:

    Land in Cairns Airport after a long journey, meet your FIT guide and take the beautiful coastal drive via private bus transit to Port Douglas! We know it has been a long journey, so check into your hotel room and maybe take a stroll around town before getting some much needed R&R. This evening enjoy a welcome beverage and meal. Overnight: Pullman

    MONDAY, AUGUST 23:

    After breakfast, enjoy a full day private tour with local guides of the Daintree Rainforest as we head north to Cape Tribulation to explore the worlds oldest tropical rainforest. We will enjoy lunch and a crocodile river cruise before returning back to Port Douglas for the evening. Overnight: Pullman.

    TUESDAY, AUGUST 24:

    After breakfast, Free Day to adjust to your new time zone and enjoy this beautiful beach town in Northern Queensland & prep for our afternoon departure tomorrow. Opt to book a ½ or full day Great Barrier Reef Dive or Snorkel (highly recommended) or a helicopter flight over the reef - today is a great day for ocean exploration!

    WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 25:

    After breakfast, enjoy the morning to pack for our departure to Sydney! We will transfer from Port Douglas for our afternoon flights out of Cairns (CNS) to Sydney. Upon arrival, collect your luggage for our transfer via FIT transit services to the Shangri-La. We have a casual dinner this evening to settle into Sydney and celebrate our time in Port. Overnight: Shangri-La Sydney

    This package is designed to get the long travel out of the way and to have you settle in beautiful, tropical Northern Queensland for a few days to help with jetlag before we head to Sydney for the big event. The journey is longer to begin - but that is when you have the most adrenaline to get it done! We hope to see you for our pre-trip to the Great Barrier Reef in the boutique town of Port Douglas!

  • The Pullman Resort

    The hotel is located a pathway from stunning four-mile beach

    This package is a wonderful way to see a different part of Australia while helping with jetlag recovery prior to the marathon.

    A $600 per person non-refundable deposit is required to book the Port Douglas pre-trip.

    Space is limited and will be offered on a first come, first served basis. Trip will operate with a minimum 10 people.

  • Single (1 person/1 bed): $

    Double (2 travelers/1 bed) or Twin (2 travelers/2 twin Beds): $

    Triple - 3 travelers/1 King + Rollaway: $

    Quad - 2 Bedroom Apt - (4 travelers): $

    Pricing is based per person and in USD. Pricing includes taxes. Pre-nights are available to book if you want to arrive on August 21st. Important if you arrive on August 21 and do not want to stay in Cairns - you need to purchase your own transit to Port Douglas as transit is only included in Sunday, August 23. We do recommend staying in Cairns that night regardless as it is so easy - if you book a pre-night via FIT at the CrystalBrook - then the bus to Port Douglas will meet you at the hotel. Otherwise, you are welcome to meet us at the airport and join the transit! Extending one night in Cairns is a very popular option.
