Family Islands National Park

Part of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area, this chain of stunning islands near Mission Beach is clad in lush rainforest and woodlands and surrounded by coral reefs, tidal flats and sandy beaches. Dunk is the most accessible island and offers many activities.

Take one of several walks that traverse 13 kilometres of Dunk Island's varied landscape. Relax at the resort after your strenuous walk. Go birdwatching or snorkelling, stroll along the seashore, or just laze under shady beach trees. Bush camp on Wheeler or Coombe islands. Glimpse the metallic blue Ulysses butterfly as you explore the islands.
