Getting there:
You will need to be in Cairns the night prior to your Carpentaria Seafaris trip departure date. We recommend 2 days if you can. This way you can recoup from the long flight and there is plenty to do in Cairns.

Flights for Australia depart from Los Angeles and San Francisco. You will stop in either Sydney or Brisbane and connect to your flight to Cairns. Most flights leave stateside late at night, and you can arrive in Cairns before noon ( 18 hours later but 2 days later due to crossing the international dateline - don't worry, you get your day back when you return home). Qantas, United, American and Air New Zealand are all good options.
Regional Pacific is the airline for your flight from Cairns to Bamaga.
This flight is included in your Carpentaria package. Once you book your
trip, you will be informed of the flight schedule. The return flight to
Cairns will dictate whether you need to overnight there or can travel
on. Again, we recommend taking a day to rest and regroup before
commencing on the flight back to America.
