Australia - The Ultimate Adventure - Sydney, Alice Springs, Great Barrier Reef:  Oct 20 - Nov 6, 2010
 
Join Ultimate Scuba on the expedition of a lifetime. We are going to explore the Land Down Under from top to bottom. First we are going to visit the harbor city of Sydney with its iconic Opera House. Then we are going to trek to outback country to walk about the town of Alice Springs for a few days before we fly out to the tropical city of Cairns. Here we will begin an adventure few can even dream of. In Cairns we will board our live aboard dive vessel called Spoil Sport. This flagship of Mike Ball Expeditions is something to behold. This custom designed catamaran is a floating hotel and dive operation all in one. We will embark on a fabulous 7 night, 450 mile Coral Sea Safari which will include the best dive sites on the Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea. To learn more about the Spoil Sport and the diving please visit  http://www.mikeball.com. To keep this trip more private and manageable we only booked 14 spots. You will have a choice of Premium or Standard cabins. A $1000.00 per person deposit will reserve your spot. We have to submit a tentative passenger list on January 28th and reduce unused space at this time to avoid penalties.


Trip Costs:

Premium Cabin Double Occupany: $4276.00
Standard Cabin Double Occupancy: $3882.00



Costs Include:

  • 7 nights and unlimited diving aboard the Spoil Sport.
  • All meals and snacks on board Spoil Sport.
  • Complimentary soft drinks plus Australian wine with dinner on board Spoil Sport.
Not Included:
  • Airfare
  • Hotels
  • Meals when not aboard Spoil Sport
  • Airport transfers when hotels do not offer free ground transportation

Notes:

  • We did not book hotels so guests have an opportunity to book hotels and level of stay of their choice.
  • Once we decide on land tours and hotels we will give guests an opportunity to join in or do their own thing. This is your trip so you deserve freedom of choices. We tried this on our Bali/Wakatobi trip in May '09 and it worked great.
  • Since this trip is a big investment we recommend trip insurance.
  • There is a 3% surcharge on payments by credit card.
  • We were quoted the Spoil Sport in Australian dollars. We used the conversion rate as on 6/1/10. 1USD = 92c AUD. Up or down adjustments will be calculated at your last payment. If the Dollar gets stronger we get a better deal. Keep your fingers crossed.
