Wilson Island HoneymoonUnwind in the natural splendour of tiny Wilson Island, a natural coral cay fringed by a gorgeous white-sand beach and surrounded by pristine coral gardens. Wilson Island is also an important breeding ground for turtles and birds. AccommodationFollow nature trails through the scenic pisonia forest to spot black noddies, wedge-tailed shearwaters and silver eyes. Watch green and loggerhead turtles lay their eggs between November and March and baby hatchlings emerge from their nests from January to May. Look out for migrating humpback whales from June to September. Go kayaking and swimming and enjoy exceptional snorkelling in clear water just metres from the gorgeous white-sand beach. AccommodationRelax in comfortable designer-inspired tent accommodation at the 5-star Voyages Wilson Island Reef overlooking the turquoise lagoon – the perfect spot to celebrate a honeymoon or romantic getaway holiday. | ||||||||||
