Cruises from Pelorus Island
Pelorus Island, off the east coast of Australia, is the northernmost island of the Great Palm Island group. It overlooks to the west the 5.76km Lucinda Jetty and the picturesque world heritage listed Hitchinbrook Island. The ocean surrounding Pelorus is part of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. Pelorus’ fringing reef, in the shallow waters just metres off the beach, offers snorkelling, and opportunity to view a giant clam garden.
