À propos

Faits rapides: An ancient volcanic island surrounded by coral reefs, home to lush rainforests and vibrant marine life. It sits just 45 minutes by ferry from Cairns and offers a quiet escape from city life.

Points forts: Brightly colored coral gardens stretch almost 150 meters from the shore, visible from snorkeling spots along the island's edge. At night, bioluminescent plankton light up parts of the shoreline with an ethereal blue glow, creating an almost magical experience.

Conseils d'initiés

Wear sturdy water shoes for reef walking to protect your feet and enjoy the marine life safely.
Capture photos near Nudey Beach for the iconic turquoise water shots early in the day to avoid crowds.
Avoid the central resort area if looking for more secluded beaches and peaceful nature walks.
Bring a refillable water bottle and sunscreen to stay hydrated and protected during hikes.
