Frankland Islands Reef Cruises is an eco-certified tour operator offering exclusive Great Barrier Reef day trips from Cairns, Australia.

Our tours combine river, rainforest, and reef experiences with a maximum of 100 guests per day.

Frankland Islands Reef Cruises is part of Entrada Travel Group and operates as a PADI 5-star Dive Centre. The company is committed to environmental preservation and sustainable tourism, participating in reef monitoring programs and holding Ecotourism certification.
