A unique island - an island with a rainforest right in the middle of Great Barrier Reef. It's one of the island closest to the mainland (which is both good and bad). The bad bit being there is a lot of day trippers going to the island. If you can, consider staying at the resort there - it makes the whole experience less rushed.

very nice island for diving and snorkeling just out of Cairns. The island is in a seagrass meadow, meaning the snorkeling can either be coral based (near the end of the jetty or by boat access from dive shop) or sea grass based (from shore) - this means turtles! Birdwatching is great early in the morning or late at night - so recommend staying there so that you have the opportunity to see and hear them before the island is full of guests. if day tripping, remember that you can walk all the way around the island to find other beaches, rather than just sticking to the jetty. Far side of island is a shallow seagrass plain, so unless you are into strange invertebrates, stick to the deeper side.
