Pelorus Island, also known as North Palm Island, is a pristine paradise nestled within the Great Palm Island group. Pelorus Island boasts magnificent fringing reefs, making it a haven for snorkelling and diving enthusiasts. You can explore breathtaking underwater views of marine life right off the beach. Soft corals like sea whips and fans coexist with plate and boulder corals. The changing currents ensure that every day brings new marine wonders. In winter, keep an eye out for colourful tropical reef fish, leopard rays, guitar sharks, turtles, and manta rays. The northern part of the island is a hotspot for spotting dolphins and whales between mid-July and early November. The island is managed by the Hinchinbrook Shire Council, with its fragile environment protected by both state and federal environmental provisions. Permission from Parks Australia is not needed for camping, but there are no facilities or freshwater on the island, so all provisions need to be taken there.
