Description
Experience the exclusive River, Rainforest, and Reef Tour from Cairns with Frankland Islands Reef Tours. Begin your journey by boarding our comfortable air-conditioned coach in Cairns, heading south through the UNESCO World Heritage rainforest, past fields of sugar cane, and alongside Walsh’s Pyramid – the world's tallest freestanding natural pyramid!
Enjoy a tranquil river cruise down the Mulgrave River, followed by a swift open water crossing to Normanby Island, one of the quickest routes to the heart of the Great Barrier Reef among Cairns day tours.
Frankland Islands Reef Cruises is the sole licensed operator permitted to land on Normanby Island, offering ample space and time for you to relax and explore. Customise your day with a variety of activities: embark on a snorkel safari guided by our knowledgeable crew, discover the underwater world on a semi-submarine tour with commentary, join an informative island walk with the biologist, paddle with kayaks or stand-up paddleboards, and savour a delightful beachside buffet lunch – all at your own pace.
After indulging in the sea and sun, board the Turtle Islander for a leisurely return to Cairns, arriving back in the late afternoon.
