Dunk Reef Island Adventures Kristine's Tree - Mission Beach Walking Tours

Dunk Island is covered mostly in national park, the tropical island is a nature lover’s playground with beautiful walking trails and palm-fringed beaches. From the jetty, make a left and follow the beach until you reach the track signs leading to Muggy Muggy Beach and Mount Kootaloo. If you’re up for a hike and fit for the challenge , set your sights on Mount Kootaloo first. The steep 7km-return track takes you through ancient fern forests and ironbark groves, past the rusty remains of a World War II radar station, to the island’s highest point with pinch-yourself panoramic views of the Family Group of Islands. On the way back down, landlubbers can continue to explore the island’s core along the circuit track (a round trip takes about 3-4 hours), passing through the Palm Valley before coming out at Coconut Beach. For visitors requiring a more easy hike then an excellent walk along Pallon Beach, via the a lookout to the old farm to Coconut Beach is highly recommended
If the salty seas are calling your name, follow the track back down to the Muggy Muggy Beach turn-off for a dip and a snorkel. Likewise the beach directly from the jetty is a perfect area at all tides.
