Escape to a hidden tropical island with a day trip out to the Frankland Islands. Step onboard the Turtle Islander at Deeral, just 45 minutes south of Cairns, for a spectacular calm water cruise down the Mulgrave River in a luxurious boat to the beautiful Frankland Islands National Park. Keep an eye out for crocs from the panoramic windows as you sit inside in air-conditioned comfort, or step out onto the shaded outdoor decks for a closer look. At our destination Normanby Island, be surrounded by pristine sandy beaches, rock pools and healthy fringing reefs to be snorkelled from the beach. Take your time to relax and enjoy yourself while avoiding the crowds. Relish a tropical buffet lunch and experience a wide variety of activities such as diving, stand up paddleboard, kayaking and a river cruise, available with the fully inclusive package.
We had a wonderful time, staff was very friendly, knowledgeable and seemed to enjoy their time. The island was beautiful, snorkeling was magical - saw a lot of turtles! More time on the island would have been enjoyable, as it was a tight schedule when doing all the activities on offer. Highly highly recommend!
