All Inclusive Day Tour to Frankland Islands Great Barrier Reef

Frankland Islands Reef Cruises are the only commercial operator allowed to land on stunning Normanby Island, offering ample space and time for relaxation and exploration. Customise your day trip with a variety of optional activities on our all-inclusive tour. The islands are also home to several endangered species like the green turtle, hawksbill turtle, spectacled flying-fox, and beach stone-curlews. Explore the vibrant underwater world with 200 coral species around Normanby and Mabel islands, part of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park’s total of 600 species. On Frankland Islands, stars aren’t just in the sky—they’re beneath your feet! Baclogypsina sphirulata, known as Sand Stars found on Normanby Island, are typically rare and found on beaches across the Indo-Pacific. They’re often considered unique to Okinawa, Japan, but it’s our hidden delight that you can also discover them in a secluded spot on Normanby Island.
