Mission Beach Dunk Island Adventure Day Trip

A trip to Mission Beach and Dunk Island is an adventure lovers best day out. Not only visit Dunk Island but also have time to explore Mission beach and perhaps enjoy a sunset dinner and drink before heading back to Cairns.
Our purpose built fast-cat island ferry gives a comfortable voyage and pleasurable experience for all passengers. Our main deck has 45 high back coach style seating and a fully licensed bar. Upper deck we have deluxe outside seating. We visit Dunk Island for almost 6 hours which gives the most disconcerting hiker or explorer time to indulge themselves in any of the island's wonderful walks. Dunk Island is truly the jewel island of Far North Queensland and is the perfect day out for soft adventure seekers.

Come spend a magical day south of Cairns on the Cassowary Coast.
