Secret Cassowary Island Tour

Published on Jun, 2024

Beautiful and relaxing day Brian our captain pick us up from Our caravan park. We were greeted by Leo who gave us a light breakfast with fresh muffins and tea and coffee. Before arriving at Dunk Island Brian gave us suggestions on what to do for 2/1/2 hrs . We chose to do a walking track to a safe swimming beach and relax . Upon our return on board we took off to our secret Island. At this time we enjoyed our chicken wraps with soft drinks and wine taking in the many Islands (yummy Chicken wraps . Afterwards Leo brought up a tropical large fruit platter for each of us. We arrived on our secret island by a tender to relax and snorkel. Before we returned to Dunk Island I got to taste the captain’s secret cocktail (so good) and cheese and biscuits. After picking up other passengers we headed back to mission beach and dropped back off to our caravan park. Thank you Brian and Leo for giving us a beautiful day and looking forward to after us in so many ways . Kland lots of tropical fruit and served a soft and a wine for me. walk toanother beach
