Dunk Island has an absolute smorgasbord of activities to choose from. On Dunk Island you could start the day with a rainforest walk and take in the spectacular views from the summit of Mt Kootaloo. After breakfast glide round the island on a guided jet ski tour, stopping off for a snorkel over the bommies at Naturalist Beach.

During lunch you can plan the afternoon ahead. Perhaps some water skiing followed by a game of tennis. Or should that be a round of golf followed by squash? And that's just one day on Dunk.

You've still got to fit in a trip to the Great Barrier Reef, a visit to the Artists' Colony, horse riding on the beach, and some game fishing! But in between this frenzy of fun you'll still find time to relax and unwind. It's as if there's a powerful tonic in the balmy breeze washing away the stress.

Dunk Island has a variety of restaurants and eateries designed to change the pace and match the mood. The Beachcomber Restaurant more than caters for all those a la carte cravings.

Then there's the Jetty Cafe which is great for a relaxing bite to eat whilst the Terrace Restaurant specialises in Italian Cuisine offering many pizza and pasta options. With a postcard view across the palm - fringed beach to distant islands, the Plantation Bar is perfect for a light meal and a quiet drink together.

For a family, Dunk Island is as good as it gets. The Kids Club has its own meal times and activities so that mum and dad can enjoy being a couple again. Imagine the freedom and romance of a sunset sail, knowing that the kids are in safe hands and having a ball. Dunk is a rainforest island paradise, Australia's tropical playground.
