Three (3) Island adventure with an exclusive Great Barrier Reef Expedition.

SCHEDULE A:

Enjoy a day at Dunk Island then QuickCoast for a coast and island cruise to Fitzroy Island. First we'll cruise by the South Barnard Islands with Sisters and Stephens Islands. A further five or so nautical miles and well cruise by North Barnard islands including Kent, Jessie, Hutchinson, Bresnahan, and Lindquist Islands. We'll visit one of these islands for an hour and a half for a walk, snorkel and swim. Just as we complete our pass of these islands the infamous Frankland Islands come into view. The Franklin Islands are on our path to Fitzroy Island so we'll pass outside this sensitive area but with still great views of Russell, Mabel, Normanby and High Islands. At the same time the coastline here continues to be stunning taking in the indigenous land of Greater Yarrabah. The Gunggandji peoples are the traditional custodians of this wonderful coastline.
