What you can expect
The Frankland Islands Reef Cruise All-Inclusive Day Tour is your gateway to discovering the wonders of the Frankland Islands.
Begin with a scenic 30-minute cruise along the Mulgrave River before arriving amidst this pristine island paradise.
Once ashore, snorkel from the beach to explore the stunning coral, tropical fish, and giant turtles. Then, cruise around Normanby Island and marvel at the vibrant coral reef flora and fauna from the comfort of a semi-submersible vessel.

Stunning and epic day! Will do again, it was great snorkelling.
Such a lovely day. Snorkelling was great, awesome coral, spotted an octopus. I really enjoyed the snorkel tour too and we saw lots of bigger fish on the snorkel tour and quite a few turtles. I didn’t get seasick either was calm. Highly recommend for a great day out.
