— What You Can Expect —

Your day with Frankland Islands Reef Tour starts as you board our air-
conditioned coach from Cairns and travel south through the UNESCO World
Heritage-listed rainforest, fields of sugar cane and past the iconic Walsh’s
Pyramid – the highest freestanding natural pyramid in the world!

Enjoy a calm water river cruise down the Mulgrave River, followed by the
shortest open water crossing of any of the Cairns day tours to Normanby
Island, putting you in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef in no time.
Frankland Islands Reef Cruises is the only commercial operator licensed to
land on beautiful Normanby Island, so you can relax and explore with plenty of
space and time. Plus, once you’re on the island, you can customise your day
trip to suit your interests – our all-inclusive day tour has a fabulous range
of optional activities to choose from.

Set off on an adventure snorkel safari guided by our marine biologist, explore
the sea floor while staying dry on our semi-submarine tour with commentary,
join our marine biologist for an informative guided island walk, go for a
paddle with our kayaks or stand-up paddleboards and tuck into a delicious
beachside buffet lunch – do as much or as little as you like, you’re on island
time! Once you’ve had enough vitamin-sea, reboard the Turtle Islander and
enjoy your relaxing return to Cairns, arriving in the late afternoon.
