Low Isles

Two islands north of Port Douglas out on the reef on the Coral Sea. They are pretty nice, not so touristic as much as Green Island: there aren't human activities on the two island, one is a mangrove island (Woody Island) where no human is recommended to go, while on the other one (Low Island) there's just a lighthouse built in the past by sailers and still looked after by the light keeper and the staff.


The Islands that forms the Low Isles are preserved, protected and maintained.
















Some companies, such as Quicksilver with Wavedancers, Aquarius and Sailaway, take tourist for the day on Low Island to enjoy the isolate and remote peaceful of this place. The number of tour operator that can visit it is limited and there are limits to the size and activities of recreational users.


It's explained to tourists that Low Island is a coral cay, where it is possible to relax, snorkel and dive and that the combination of cay and mangrove island, such as Low Island and Woody Island, is recognised as a special island type, known as low wooded island, unique to the Great Barrier Reef.
