A group of us got the water taxi over to the island. The staff were very professional and helpful, the boat well appointed and they made it easy. Wear shorts for getting in and out of the boat at the mission beach end.
Right across the road from the beach. Check out their web site. Easy to reserve and great service offered. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Providing a very good service.
This was a great way to get there(it is the only licenced commercial way to get there). The ride over way quite bumpy, but that was only because the tide was rough. However the ride back was calm. You wait in the office until it comes, then Nancy(one of the staff) will take you across the road to the beach. Once you get to the beach, you will be advised to take off shoes and remove belongings from pockets as you will have to walk through the water to the boat. The water will come up around waist high, so be aware of this and don't be frightened to get wet! Nancy and Fozzy( the boat driver) will help you onto the boat and off it when you come back. This is a professionally run business which is run by locals. Apart from island transfers, they offer a 3 hour, 3 island tour, snorkel hire, bike hire and wind kart hire. There is also ice-creams, cool drinks and postcards available for sale. Overall this is an enjoyable experience that you won't regret. Your day in paradise is awaiting!
Great way to see more of the Mission Beach area.Beautiful ocean with scenic views wherever you were.
We used the water taxi for transfers to and from our week holiday on Bedarra Island Resort and couldn't fault the friendly efficient, very helpful service from Nancy and team here.Its a magical experience walking out over the sands of Wongaling Beach, rolling up your shorts, and wading through the gentle swell of the Coral Sea, onto the boat.Highly recommended.
The booking staff was very friendly But the driver was kind of weird. But thanks anyway, we had a great day on dunk island!
We caught the water taxi for the five or ten minute ride out to Dunk Island before taking the easy walk up to the lookout - well worth it. We then had a swim adjacent to the jetty before catching the taxi home, chatting to the skipper along the way. He is very knowledgeable about the local area. Halfway back a local pod of dolphins put on a great display, swimming under the boat and rolling, jumping clear of the water and generally having a great time. Quite a highlight. (The photos were no good - the action was too quick).
Just perfect for a fun day on an island! There is a little snack bar on the island serving prawns and chips. Not so good for snorkelling to my opinion...
Great service, efficient & very friendly. Made the organisation of the holiday very easy. As soon as we arrived, felt like we were on holidays straight away.
friendly staff and fast transport. dunk island is the perfect day trip when staying in mission beach, we found ourselves a little spot on the beach and didn't see another person all day.
