1. Family Islands National Park Family Islands National Park covers a chain of islands near Mission Beach, with lush rainforest and woodlands, surrounded by coral reefs, tidal flats and sandy beaches. The chain is part of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage area. The most accessible of the islands is Dunk. Take one of several walks that traverse 13 kilometres of Dunk Island's varied landscape. Relax at the resort after your strenuous walk. Go birdwatching or snorkelling, stroll along the seashore, or laze under shady beach trees. Bush camping is possible on two other islands: Wheeler and Coombe. As you explore the Family Islands, catch glimpses of the iconic Ulysses butterfly in beautiful metallic blue.
2. Licuala State Forest Licuala State Forest boasts several enjoyable walking tracks. Enjoy the native wildlife of the area as you walk around the forest…the Ulysses butterfly, cassowaries and green tree frogs. Be sure to look upwards to enjoy the sunlight shining through the beautiful palm leaves…it's truly remarkable! The Licuala Fan Palm is native to the area and has the majority of the fan palm trees in all of Australia.

1. Beaver Reef Dive Site Located in the protected Beaver Cay Marine Sanctuary off Mission Beach, Beaver Reef is an unspoiled fringing reef surrounding a sandy cay and offers a range of dive sites. Abundant soft corals and large gorgonian sea fans, lots of giant clams, helmet shells and bailer shells. Green and Hawksbill turtles are regularly sighted, large cod, big schools of spangled emperors, fusiliers, Whitetip reef sharks, barracuda and trevally. Manta Rays occur in winter. There is good snorkelling from the cay or Boat.
2. Bicton Hill Circuit Track Bicton Hill is within Clump Mountain National Park. The walking track begins on Bicton Hill's exposed eastern side, where sturdy trees such as brush box and swamp mahogany grow. Climbing steadily, the track circles around to the hill's sheltered western side, which supports one of Australia's few remaining examples of lowland rainforest.
3. Clump Mountain National Park With Bicton Hill at its centre, Clump Mountain National Park preserves one of the few remaining patches of undisturbed lowland tropical rainforest. Many of the trees have large buttressed trunks and support epiphytic ferns and other plants. Several southern cassowaries live here and vulnerable arenga palms and ancient cycads grow near the summit. Climb to the summit of Bicton Hill on a four kilometre rainforest circuit. Enjoy the panorama of the mainland and offshore islands from viewing and resting seats along the track. In summer months, look for buff-breasted paradise-kingfishers nesting in termite mounds.
4. Great Barrier Reef Stretching more than 2000km along the Queensland coastline and covering 35 million hectares, the Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest coral reef. It is home to an abundance of marine wildlife - including more than 1500 brilliantly coloured species of tropical fish, 4000 species of molluscs, 400 species of sponge and 300 species of hard corals.
5. The "Lady Bowen" Dive Site The Lady Bowen Wreck off Mission Beach is a 220ft schooner now over 100 years old. A converted paddle steamer, she now rests in 34 metres and has become a reef in itself hosting magnificent coral formations and awesome marine life. You are likely to witness natures finest in the form of gropers, sea snakes, giant turtles, lionfish and barracuda.
