Great Barrier Reef Frankland Islands Tour
Great Barrier Reef Frankland Islands Tour takes you to an unspoiled, pristine archipelago located about 10km offshore, and 45km south-east of Cairns.
The fringing reefs around the Frankland Islands are a part of the Great Barrier Reef and home to a diverse array of marine life. You can see these with us, exploring the underwater world on a guided snorkel tour or scuba dive.
You don’t want to get wet? Then we have a glass-bottom boat and semi-submersible that allows you to be immersed under the water without getting wet!
And don’t forget we are on an island so there is so much to experience on the pristine white sandy beach. Maybe you would like to join our guided island walk with our marine naturalists. You can explore the island’s rock pools, see the birdlife and the lush tropical vegetation.
There are no crowds and no rush as we are the only operator permitted to visit this amazing location.
Escape the crowds, and explore the beauty of the Great Barrier Reef!
