The Palm Island Archipelago is a magnificent jewel in the crown of the Great Barrier Reef and its size, undoubtedly best experienced from above. On take-off enjoy an extraordinary vista of Magnetic Island before tracking towards the Coral Sea and the trail of small islands leading to Palm Island’s splendid shores. Circling the island’s rugged coastline see the fringing reefs that make this island one of the most prized assets of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.
