Welcome to the Frankland Islands National Park, a stunning tropical island located just 45km Southeast of Cairns. This secluded and uncrowded snorkellers paradise beckons and this is the only commercial operator allowed to dock here so you can enjoy the island all to yourself.

Begin the day with a convenient hotel pick up from Cairns or meet at the departure location in Deeral for a leisurely cruise down Mulgrave River while taking in the sights and absorbing the fascinating commentary about the local landscape and wildlife. There’s a chance you may even spot a crocodile sunbathing on the banks of the river.

Pulling up to islands, you’ll transfer to the Turtle Islander vessel for a short journey to shore. Marine biologists will join you for a guided walk and snorkelling session as you explore the magical creatures on land and in the sea. A semi-submersible is also available for non-swimmers who want to stay dry. And, when you get hungry a delicious morning tea, tropical lunch and afternoon tea is served to keep you energised on this aquatic adventure.

Book online with Adrenaline to discover one of Tropical North Queensland’s best kept secrets.
