Only accessible by 4WD vehicle’s along the beach, Double Island Point’s remoteness makes for spectacular natural beauty, a buzzing hub of local and migrating wildlife and a tropical surf playground boasting Australia’s longest wave.

See the crazy soldier crabs in their thousands at low tide feeding around the lagoons. The spectacular coloured sand cliff views are another tour highlight. Situated along the stretch from Rainbow Beach to Double Island Point, the rich mineral sand dunes boast a highlight of 72 different colours and is a stunning backdrop.
