Palm Island, also known as Great Palm Island, or by the Aboriginal name Bwgcolman, is a tropical island with a resident community of about 4,000 people. The island is situated 65 kilometres north-west of Townsville, on the east coast of Queensland.
Sunferries currently conduct four return ferry services to Palm Island per week departing on Sunday, Monday, Thursday and Friday.
This service takes approximately 1 ½ hours travel time each way. Due to the fact that vessel access to the Palm Island jetty is tidal, the timetable for this service can change weekly. For a current list of ferry departure times to Palm Island please refer to the downloadable timetable on this page.
Please ensure you arrive at least 30 minutes prior to boarding to ensure sufficient time to purchase tickets.
