Absolutely! Frankland island is one of our favourite island experiences as its fully inclusive and has a maximum of 50 people including staff on the island per day in comparrison to a few hundred on the other islands, adding an element of elusivity to the island.
Due to the small groups allowed on the island per day the reef condition from Frankland island is second to none. The island itself is a natural habitat for turtles increasing the chances of seeing some awesome wild life. The guided snorkelling is amazing as the guides are very knowledgeable about the Great Barrier reef and will provide you with some great facts about the reef and the island.
Included in the price of your ticket comes a guided rainforest walk of Frankland island, this is an amazing opportunity to learn more about the island as the staff have a wide range of knowledge from the coral found at the island, the types of faurna on the island and the history of it as well.
Frankland island is an amazing family trip for young and old. The island itself is remote and quite giving the opportunity to catch some sun on the pristine beach as well as all the activities you can do in the water, paddle boarding, snorkelling, glass bottom boat and more! As well as this, apart of the guide Island walk is a childrens treasure hunt so bring the kids.
The trip to Frankland island is a full day trip. You will get picked up from your hotel around 7.30am and taken to a private boat to get to the island giving you around 4 to 5 hours, plenty of time for snorkelling, lunch, and relaxation. You will be back to your hotel for around 5pm.
We recommend bringing your swimming clothes, a towel and some open shoes for the island as well as some closed shoes for the island walk. We also recommend bring sunscreen and a hat as temperatures on the island can reach quite high. Lunch is included with the trip and dietary requirements are adhered to.
Yes. Complimentary hotel transfers are included from selected Cairns accommodations. This tour is perfect for when you want to put little effort into your day as it included everything you could need!

Amazing service and highly recommended! If you are planning a snorkeling trip to the Great Barrier Reef, this is definitely the place to go. The advice was incredibly detailed, taking the time to explain which reefs and spots offer the absolute best chances to see an abundance of marine life and vibrant corals. What stood out the most was the complete transparency. No hidden fees, honest feedback on the different boats and tours, and clear expectations about what to anticipate. You can really tell that their main goal is to help you find the best possible experience, rather than just making a sale. Looking forward to the tour! Thank you for the fantastic recommendation.Posted on Google![]()

Shout out to Max for his guidance! He listened to my requirements and helped me figure out what I really wanted, and he explained the options in depth. With his help, I was able to have a fun day combining a flight over the reef with an excursion to Fitzroy island. All bookings went smooth. Great service!Posted on Google![]()
