Wilson Island Great Barrier Reef Australia
The tiny coral cay of Wilson Island is both part of the Great Barrier Reef and
surrounded by it with pristine reef and beach environments
including rare turtle and bird breeding grounds.
Those that are drawn to Wilson Island will see the natural
beauty of the island, its seclusion and the freedom from
modern-day living as part of its appeal. Wilson Island offers
comfortable designer-inspired tent accommodation for a maximum of
just 12 guests.
Wilson Island is essentially natural - a divine sweep of caster
sugar sands that is home to turtles and birds.
The Wilson Island allows a maximum of 12 guests to access
pristine reef and beach environments. Guests on Wilson Island are
able to enjoy exceptional snorkelling, bird watching, island and
reef walks or simply relaxing within the peaceful natural setting,
