What to do on Dunk Island
With an enormous variety of activities to choose from, it's hard deciding what to do next. You could start the day with a rainforest walk and take in the spectacular views from the summit of Mt Kootaloo. After breakfast, explore one of the National Park walking trails through the rainforest and later perhaps a snorkel at Muggy Muggy Beach. During lunch you can plan the afternoon ahead. Perhaps some water skiing followed by a game of tennis. Or should that be kayaking followed by squash?
And that's just one day on Dunk Island. 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 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 has a variety of restaurants and eateries designed to match your mood. The Beachcomber Restaurant more than caters for all those a la carte cravings. Then there's EJ's on the Deck, an island favourite with a savvy sidewalk cafe style. And BB's on the Beach is great for a relaxing bite to eat. With a postcard view across the palm-fringed beach to distant islands, the Plantation Bar and Lounge is perfect for a quiet drink together.
For the family, Dunk 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 cruise, knowing that the kids are in safe hands and having a ball.
Dunk Island's Spa of Peace and Plenty
Set amongst lush tropical gardens, the Spa of Peace and Plenty has been designed with pampering and total indulgence in mind - a sanctuary where guests exchange stressed states for tranquillity and embrace treatments that renew energies or evoke delicious relaxation.
Dunk Island Kids Club

When it comes to family fun, Dunk is truly the Island of Peace and Plenty. There's a whole host of things to enjoy together. But when Mum and Dad want a little peace and quiet together, the Kids Club has plenty of great activities for the children.
Kids Club caters for children aged 3 to 12 years all year round. During Australian school holidays, a Keen Teens program operates for children up to 16 years.
Under the watchful eye of Dunk's professional staff, the kids enjoy a range of activities during morning and evening sessions.

They can join a treasure hunt, nature arts and crafts, take a rainforest discovery walk, try turtle spotting, visit Dunk's own farm and the list goes on. In the evening, there's disco parties, stargazing, night walks, movies, night games and more. Kids Club even caters for the kids at dinner time. In fact, the kids will be having so much fun, parents can simply disappear! Now that's cool.
Please note there is an additional charge for Kids Club Sessions
