Frankland Islands - From $136 inc Taxes

The diversity that you encounter when traveling to the Frankland Islands makes for a very interesting fun-filled day out. Your day begins with a convenient pick up from your accommodation from Palm Cove to Cairns. The adventure begins with an informative bus ride south to a little town called Deeral. Here we all load onto the boat which cruises along the Mulgrave River up to the mouth of the Coral Sea. From here you listen to the interpretive talks about the mangrove-fringed banks and hear stories of the Yidiniji indigenous Aboriginal people who have potentially called the Mulgrave their home for thousands of years. It is the shortest open water crossing ride in Queensland to the Frankland Islands and this company is the only tour operator allowed to visit the uninhabited and undeveloped pristine Island. The cruise is spectacular as the journey combines a river cruise as well as a reef and Island experience. It is a visual delight to have the backdrop of the mainland all day.
