Day 2 - Adventures Galore! Seven Spirit Bay
Over the next 3 days, we invite you to do as much or as little as you desire. Each day the management team will discuss the range of activities available to you - you can participate in any activities you choose. Most activities are half or three quarters of a day in duration, which allows for a bit of relaxation time around the resort from mid-afternoon.
The activities on offer include:
Marine wildlife spotting cruises in Coral and Trepang Bays aboard our custom-built adventure craft, MV Arafura
Half Day blue water fishing adventure in the Cobourg Marine Park Sanctuary
4WD wilderness adventures to Gunners Quoin, Vashon Head and the magnificent Nipa Palms. The Nipa only grows in three locations in Australia, with Trepang Creek being one of them. Rainbow Beach may only be accessed during low tide.

Day 3 - Adventures Galore! Seven Spirit Day
See Day 2 above.
Day 4 - Marine adventure to Port Essington Seven Spirit Bay
This morning, we cruise down Port Essington and retrace the course of the early mariners’ square riggers, passing landmarks such as Gunners Quoin, Turtle Rock, Observation Cliff and Record Point en route to Victoria Settlement. Established in 1838, Victoria Settlement was the third attempt by the British at a northern settlement, after Fort Dundas on Melville Island and Fort Wellington at Raffles Bay. Conceived to facilitate trade with Asia, the settlement consisted of 24 houses and a hospital, which certainly saw its fair share of patients due to rampant disease and malnutrition.
After we’ve disembarked on the beach, we’ll take a fascinating 3-hour tour of the Settlement and learn about what life was like in this remote and unforgiving outpost. There’s an optional extension to the walk which leads to lonely gravestones in the forest, almost forgotten by history. After some refreshments on the beach, we’ll hop back aboard MV Arafura and make our way back to the lodge for lunch.
This afternoon there’ll be a range of activities on offer. Alternatively, you can enjoy the rest of the day at your leisure. Meals: B.L.D.
