- Dunk Island - Dunk Island is predominantly a national park, offering a paradise for nature enthusiasts with its walking trails and palm-lined beaches.
From the jetty, head left and stroll along the beach to reach the paths leading to Muggy Muggy Beach and Mount Kootaloo. For those seeking a challenge, the steep 7km return trail up Mount Kootaloo awaits. This trek takes adventurers through fern forests and past a World War II radar station, culminating at the island’s peak, which offers breathtaking views of the Family Group of Islands.
On the return journey, delve into the island’s heart via the circuit track (a 3-4 hour round trip) through Palm Valley, concluding at Coconut Beach. A simpler alternative is the walk along Pallon Beach to Coconut Beach, which includes a lookout and an old farm.
For those eager for a swim, follow the path to Muggy Muggy Beach for a refreshing dip and snorkel, or head directly to the beach from the jetty, which is ideal at all tide levels.
- Djiru National Park - The drive to Mission Beach typically takes just under 2 hours from Cairns each way. However, the trip is truly rewarding. Travelers will pass by Queensland’s two tallest mountains, Mount Bartle Frere and Mount Bellenden Kerr. The route also showcases cane fields and banana farms, offering a glimpse into local life. Upon leaving the highway, the journey continues through the lush Djiru National Park, where there is a chance to spot a wild cassowary.
