The Island is home to a wide range of colourful bird species, making it a must-visit for birdwatching enthusiasts. The most popular bird you encounter on your visit is the Cockatoo - but make sure to keep your doors closed if you're out for the day or they may make themselves at home!

The Island is surrounded by the vibrant coral reefs of the Great Barrier Reef, teeming with marine life. Grab a snorkel and mask to discover the colourful fish, gentle sea turtles, and maybe even the occasional reef shark.

Pro Tip: If you're lucky, you might even spot a dugong grazing in the shallows. These gentle sea creatures are a rare but incredible sight!
