Haggerstone Island
In the distant depths of Queensland's Great Barrier Reef, there is an island with more than a little magic up its sleeve. Haggerstone Island, 600 kilometers north of Cairns on the Cape York Peninsula, is both secluded and wild.
Haggerstone offers it all: kilometers of white sand beaches where your footsteps will be the only ones left in the sand. A warm climate makes exploring the island's rough nooks and crannies a breeze. A strong sense of isolation that welcomes island life's simplicity. This is the place to go if you want to get away from it all.
Haggerstone Island is a truly unique location that is privately owned and only caters to a small number of visitors that come to appreciate its natural beauty. The majority of the time, you'll be one of ten or fewer guests on the island. Do you want to have the entire island to yourself? This is one of the few Queensland islands available for rent, and it can accommodate up to 12 people. From your daily experiences to what's on your plate, the crew will tailor your stay to your exact specifications. The two coral lagoons are ideal for watersports such as jet skiing, wakeboarding, waterskiing, kayaking, and canoeing. Climb to the top of the hill for panoramic views of the island and adjacent reef systems, or explore the walking trails for a relaxed afternoon. Alternatively, relax on the jetty with a cocktail in hand while watching the local fish and turtles swim beneath you.
Few travelers get the opportunity to enjoy the Outer Great Barrier Reef's raw splendor – or to do so in such a down-to-earth, quiet fashion as you can on lonely Haggerstone, which is out of the path of day trippers. Daily snorkeling visits to the crew's favorite outer reef sites will provide you with even more pristine splendor. You can also explore a shipwreck from the 1840s and World War II treasures buried beneath the surface in coral gardens in these seas.
