#1 Attraction in Mission Beach on TripAdvisor…..

  • star rating  We had a great few days with Adele and Stuart and Mission Beach Charters on our holiday to Bedarra Island. Adele's attention to detail prior to arriving was outstanding.... read more

    We were provided with loads of useful information, advice and guidance that proved to be very helpful.

    Our transfers were great and very convenient and delivered us right to the front door of our holiday accommodation on the island (including our luggage and our provisions) that all arrived safe and dry!

    We also had the opportunity to spend half a day with Adele and Stuart on a a tour of the islands in the Family Group of Islands and then we hit the water for some snorkeling on the reef where we saw turtles, giant clams and other amazing tropical fish and coral.

    I highly recommend these guys and we cannot wait to get back soon!

  • star rating  Really loved the very personalised experience on the fringe reef around Bedarra Island. Most of my snorkelling experiences in NQ have been on big tourist boats where you are just... read more a number. This time with Adele being a marine biologist, we snorkelled together with her pointing out various fish species, coral species, clams etc and also talking about the local history etc. It felt like being out on the boat with a friend. I saw coral trout, spotted cod, angel fish, parrot fish and many more. All of my many questions were always answered with incredible knowledge. Thanks Stuart also for taking photos on my phone. Adele also took some underwater ones of me and sent them through on an email later. A great memory of the day out.

Adele is a marine biologist and is a great guide, they supplied all the snorkeling gear, stinger suits etc. and took us to see some amazing coral - only 40mins out from Mission Beach. Adele specially made some delicious gluten free muffins for our son & provided fruit & drinks. Adele even sent us some underwater photos of our great day!

Mission Beach: The Adventurer’s Paradise

“My favourite place is North Queensland. It has for a naturalist everything. It has an amazing rainforest which is quite unlike any other rainforest in the world.

“Not only does it have that but down on the coast it has the Great Barrier Reef.”

“On top of that there’s terrific wine and food, so that’s the place for me.”

Sir David Attenbourgh

Acceptance speech for the 2017 Britain-Australia Society Award

I'll confess, I'm not a coral biologist. So I learned an awful lot hanging out with these guys yesterday.

It's reassuring to know that I can still spot sites of significance.

Near shore islands have impressive diversity and great cover.
