Dunk Island Eco Tents Open by Great Barrier Reef
14 May
Summary
- New beachfront eco tents offer a comfortable stay on Dunk Island.
- Guests can enjoy rainforest hiking and snorkeling near the reef.
- Ferry service operates from Mission Beach Wednesday through Sunday.
A new offering of eight beachfront eco tents has opened on Dunk Island, situated between the Australian coast and the Great Barrier Reef. These comfortable accommodations, which opened on April 1, feature real beds and essential amenities, supplementing the island's established beachfront camping. The tents provide a unique way to experience the island's natural beauty.
Visitors to Dunk Island can engage in various activities, including rainforest hiking, snorkeling at Stingaree Reef, and relaxing on sandy beaches. The island's interior boasts lush rainforest with trails leading to lookouts and Mount Kootaloo. The Dunk Island Restaurant provides casual dining with ocean views, operating Wednesday to Sunday.
Access to Dunk Island is facilitated by a ferry service from Mission Beach, running twice daily from Wednesday to Sunday. Alternative charter services are available on other days. Bookings for both eco tents and campsites open eight months ahead, and the island is accessible year-round, though November to May is noted as 'stinger season'.
