If you can imagine a haven of natural wonders, warm clear waters and pristine white sandy beaches, then you are imagining what it is like to visit one on the many tropical islands located off of the north eastern seaboard of Tropical North Queensland.
Our selection of Island Day Tours will allow you to visit sand cays or islands on the Great Barrier Reef. Sand Cays and Islands are also a particularly good choice of location for nervous snorkelers or for families with small children, as they will allow you to begin to learn to snorkel from the shallow waters surrounding the cay or island itself. Islands and Sand Cays offer a natural environment and quite often these locations allow for activities such as beach combing, paddling in extremely shallow waters and of course sun bathing on the beach.
Our Island Day Tours offer you the option to visit easily accessible islands including: Green Island, The Frankland Islands, The Low Isles and Sandy Cays such as Michaelmas Cay and Upolu Cay, as well the more remotely located and stunningly beautiful Lizard Island.
