Wilson Island Award Nomination

Wilson Island - Wilson Island News Feed

Voyages Wilson Island has been nominated as a finalist in the Best Eco/Wilderness Experience category in The Australian Travel & Tourism Awards 2008.

Located just 72km northeast of Gladstone, Voyages Wilson Island is the ultimate island getaway - think Robinson Crusoe, with a touch of style thrown in for good measure! This tiny five-acre coral cay accommodates a maximum of 12 guests, so as your boat draws up to the white soft-shell beach, you'll feel as if you've landed on your very own private island.

All six uber-chic tents are privately secluded, surrounded by pisonia and pandanus trees and affording stunning views of the Great Barrier Reef, with each tent boasting the luxuries of a hotel room but with the added bonus of being just metres from the beach. Explore the island on foot or check out the creatures of the sea from a glass-bottom kayak. Watch green and loggerhead turtles laying their eggs or hatchlings emerging.

A two-night package at Voyages Wilson Island is priced at $990 per person per room (based on a twin share occupancy) including, all meals, a selected range of premium alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and return launch transfers between Heron and Wilson Island.

Alternatively hire the island exclusively, with Voyages' Exclusively Yours packages. The perfect escape for six couples, Voyages Wilson Island is available exclusively from just $8800* for two nights, and includes sumptuous cuisine, a premium range of selected beverages and a selected range of activities.
