Dunk Island is located approximately 4 kilometres off the Tropical North Queensland coast, midway between Townsville and Cairns.

Start your day with a rainforest walk and take in the spectacular views from the summit of Mt Kootaloo. After breakfast, explore one of the National Park walking trails through the rainforest and later perhaps a snorkel at Muggy Muggy Beach. During lunch you can plan the afternoon ahead. Perhaps some water skiing followed by a game of tennis. Or should that be kayaking followed by squash?

And that's just one day on Dunk Island. You've still got to fit in a trip to the Great Barrier Reef, a visit to the Artists' Colony, horse riding on the beach, and some fishing! But in between this frenzy of fun you'll still find time to relax and unwind. It's as if there's a powerful tonic in the balmy breeze washing away the stress.

Dunk hosts a variety of restaurants and eateries designed to match your mood. The Beachcomber Restaurant more than caters for all those a la carte cravings. With a postcard view across the palm-fringed beach to distant islands, the Plantation Bar and Deck is perfect for a quiet drink together. And the Jetty's Café is great for a relaxing bite to eat.

For the family, Dunk is as good as it gets. The Kids Club has its own meal times and activities so that mum and dad can enjoy being a couple again. Imagine the freedom and romance of a sunset cruise, knowing that the kids are in safe hands and having a ball.
