Our cruise time to Dunk Island jetty is 25 minutes. Once ashore on Dunk Island you have almost 6 hours to explore the island. Here is a suggestion to self-explore Dunk Island:
If you’re up for a hike, set your sights on Mt Kootaloo first. The steep 7km-return track takes you through ancient fern forests and ironbark groves, past the rusty remains of a World War II radar station, to the island’s highest point with pinch-yourself panoramic views of the Family Group of Islands.
On the way back down, landlubbers can continue to explore the island’s core along the circuit track (a round trip takes about 3-4 hours), passing through the Palm Valley before coming out at Coconut Beach.
If the salty seas are calling your name, follow the track back down to the Muggy Muggy Beach turn-off for a dip and a snorkel.
Boarding on our return voyage starts 15 minutes prior to scheduled departure. Boarding closes the usual 10 minutes prior to departure so ensure you are in the line on the jetty on time.
Our voyage back to Clump Point takes 25 minutes. Please be advised that public transport or taxis are hard to find in this area. Therefore please plan carefully. Book our local or Cairns transfers in advance when booking or self-drive.
