On some days, we will take short bushwalks to explore the stunning gorges of Cape Range National Park, and visit the Milyering Visitor Centre.

At the end of Day 5, we’ll drop you at Mantaray’s Resort to relax and recharge for the next leg of your adventure! Tonight you have dinner on us (to the value of $70/person) at the award-winning onsite restaurant.
