Description
Family Islands National Park covers a chain of islands near Mission Beach, with lush rainforest and woodlands, surrounded by coral reefs, tidal flats and sandy beaches. The chain is part of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage area. The most accessible of the islands is Dunk. 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 laze under shady beach trees. Bush camping is possible on two other islands: Wheeler and Coombe. As you explore the Family Islands, catch glimpses of the iconic Ulysses butterfly in beautiful metallic blue.
