Travel Insurance
You will be traveling to an isolated wilderness area. With most Australian wilderness areas, there is the chance of encounters with rugged terrain, native animals, marine environments with associated hazards, venomous creatures and biting insects.

For this reason, we recommend for your peace of mind, that you take out travel insurance for the duration of your travel to, at and from Wilderness Island.

To protect non-refundable deposits and payments we strongly recommend you purchase comprehensive travel insurance

Season
Wilderness Island is open from April to October/November and closed from December to March due to possible cyclone activities and very hot weather. For couples and families with children, we recommend the best time is May to October for the milder conditions.

Depending on the weather our season can extend to December. The hotter months November to December do bring with it a whole range of new fishing adventures.
