Brampton Island National Park, at the southern entrance to the Whitsunday Passage, consists of Brampton and Carlisle islands. Amazing marine life and corals surround both islands which offer secluded bays, long sandy beaches, rocky headlands and a variety of forest types. Both islands are important turtle rookeries.
Take a leisurely walk along Brampton Island's 8.7 kilometre circuit to discover the island's plants and animals. Go birdwatching for orange-footed scrubfowl, white-bellied sea-eagles and ospreys. At 214 metres, Peak lookout on Brampton Island offers views across the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area. At low tide, walk between Brampton and Carlisle islands. Bush camp on Carlisle.
