About
Frankland Island Reef Cruises' Express Half-Day Tour combines relaxation and exploration, ideal for a quick island escape. Begin with an air-conditioned coach transfer from Cairns, travelling south through World Heritage rainforest, sugar cane fields, and past Walsh's Pyramid, the world's tallest freestanding natural pyramid.
Board a tranquil river cruise along the Mulgrave River before making the shortest open-water crossing of any Cairns day tour to Normanby Island, part of the Frankland Islands and a gateway to the Great Barrier Reef.
Frankland Islands Reef Cruises is the only commercial operator licensed to land on Normanby Island, ensuring space and time to explore. Spend up to 2.5 hours on the island with the Express Tour, which includes either a guided snorkel safari from beach to reef or a semi-submarine tour with commentary. Enjoy free time to kayak or stand-up paddleboard.
Please note: lunch is not included but can be pre-purchased 24 hours in advance. Introductory diving is unavailable due to tour timing.
Whether you pack the day with activities or simply relax on the sand, you'll experience the reef at your own pace.
