Overview

Explore a unique Great Barrier Reef experience with Frankland Islands Reef Cruises - the only tour operator visiting the pristine location, you will feel like the tour is very private and crowd free. The tour includes a river cruise and has a short open water crossing 6 miles - approximately 30 minutes, morning and afternoon tea and a tropical buffet lunch. Your experienced guides take you snorkelling and ensure you feel comfortable and safe in the water and give you the best opportunity to spot a colourful clown fish and maybe even a turtle!  Snorkelling straight off the white sandy beach makes this suitable for families and first time snorkelers. There are other optional activities including stand up paddle boards, kayaks and a guided island walk.

Itinerary

Discover one of Tropical North Queensland’s best-kept secrets! Hosting vibrant fringing reefs, rock pools, white sandy beaches and dense rainforest, Frankland Islands are a pristine archipelago that are not to be missed. Escape the crowds that takes in the incredible sights of the Reef, Rainforest and River. Hop onto a luxury boat that will take you on a 30-minute leisurely cruise down the Mulgrave River. A short open water crossing will take you to your tropical island destination for the day. You’ll have 4.5 hours to relax and explore this secluded part of the Great Barrier Reef that sees no more than 100 visitors each day. Snorkel straight from the pristine white sandy beach, where an expert marine naturalist will guide you over colourful corals and tropical fish, explaining this unique and wonderful ecosystem. This guided tour is included for all travellers. Included in your tour is a buffet lunch served on the island. Enjoy coffee/tea on board our air-conditioned vessel.

The most amazing island tour trip!! The people were fantastic with the hospitality skills and knowledge of the island and marine life. The cruise was lovely and the food provided was great. The snorkelling safari was a total highlight! We got to see manta rays and sharks and so much colourful coral and marine life. The island was truly spectacular. With activities on offer that suit everyone, this island cruise tour is a MUST DO in Cairns. Could not recommend highly enough.

Really enjoyed this day out on the reef. The staff were very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. It was a smaller group of people so if you don't like crowds, over commercialised and touristy this is for you. We saw a shark, turtles and plenty of fish!

We had a wonderful time on the Frankland Island cruise! The boat ride was very smooth (no sea sickness), crew were all super friendly & knowledgeable, beaches were very clean/untouched, loved that all the equipment & snorkelling gear was included, the lunch was hearty & delish, & it was great for all ages.

My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful day with Franklin Islands Reef Cruises!! There were many options available once we got to the island - something for everyone!! The snorkel safari was great! Lunch was really tasty! We chose to snorkel from shore after lunch and took advantage of the guided nature walk around the island. All the crew members were wonderful to deal with and worked really hard!! We would definitely take this tour again if we come back to the Cairns area! We stayed at the Holiday Park in Fishery Falls and it was super quick to meet the tour just past the Deeral Boat Ramp. A very relaxing, FUN day!!!

Absolutely fabulous day out with something for everyone. The staff are very attentive, kind, knowledgeable, and hard working. We felt safe and properly looked after at all times The younger members of our party who did the snorkel safari thought it was terrific, and personally I was astonished at how interesting the guided walk turned out to be.. We saw no other groups the whole day and the staff looked after us so well that the atmosphere was almost like an up market picnic. Good value for money and would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a proper island/ snorkelling reef experience.
