Cruise for conservation

Forget bumping flippers with daytrippers. Luxe adventure cruising specialists TRUE NORTH have designed a once-in-a-lifetime expedition in partnership with The Great Barrier Reef Foundation that allows guests to snorkel untouched and pristine environments of the Great Barrier Reef alongside conservationists and marine researchers. The inaugural 2 December departure has sold out, but there will be more dates for 2024 (so watch this space). Get in quick to experience pinch-me moments and do your bit for the reef, including following tracks of green sea turtles and visiting sea nurseries, tagging whale sharks and searching for the elusive Omura whale. truenorth.com.au
