The Island

Dunk Island is Australia's most beautiful tropical rainforest island. This island of peace and plenty offers an amazing variety of activities, facilities and experiences and suits a range of budgets.

With an enormous variety of activities to choose from, it's hard deciding what to do next. You could start the day with a rainforest walk and take in the spectacular views from the summit of Mt Kootaloo. After breakfast, explore one of the National Park walking trails through the rainforest and later perhaps a snorkel at Muggy Muggy Beach.

During lunch you can plan the afternoon ahead. Perhaps some water skiing followed by a game of tennis. Or should that be kayaking followed by squash? You've still got to fit in a trip to the Great Barrier Reef, a visit to the Artists' Colony, horse riding on the beach, and some fishing! In between this frenzy of fun you'll still find time to relax and unwind.

To reward yourself, book a treatment at the Spa of Peace and Plenty, where you will be immersed in decadent therapies to relax and revitalise. You may also choose to take a sunset cruise and witness a spectacular sunset complimented by wine and cheese.

With a variety of dining options on offer at Dunk, you will never be short on choice. At the Beachcomber Restaurant you can enjoy your buffet breakfast with a view, plus the option of an la carte menu or buffet menu in the evening. The Terrace Restaurant features authentic Italian cuisine, tapas and pizza. The Jetty Café is casual and convenient and offers lunches daily and features fresh seafood cuisine that is fast and fresh.

For the family, Dunk is as good as it gets. The Kids Club has its own meal times and activities so that mum and dad can enjoy being a couple again. Imagine the freedom and romance of a sunset cruise, knowing that the kids are in safe hands and having a ball.
