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

It wouldn’t be a trip to Mission Beach if you didn’t spend a day at ‘Dunk‘. Covered mostly in national park, the tropical island is a nature lover’s playground with beautiful walking trails and palm-fringed beaches.
Even though the resort is closed (that Cyclone Yasi really gave it a pounding), there’s still so much to love about Dunk Island, which remains open for day trips and camping adventures.
From the jetty, make a left and follow the beach until you reach the track signs leading to Muggy Muggy Beach and Mt Kootaloo.
If you’re up for a hike, set your sights on Mt 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.
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.
