Family Fun and Exploration with Kelly Evanson

Frankland Islands Reef Cruises

For families craving adventure, discovery, and unforgettable bonding moments, the Frankland Islands Reef Cruises Day Tour promises a day packed with fun and education. From a scenic river journey to ocean adventures, this tour offers a unique opportunity to explore one of the Great Barrier Reef’s hidden gems. Kelly Evanson, a skilled guide and dive instructor, has a knack for making the trip magical for young explorers and adults alike.

Treasure Hunts and Natural Wonders

One of the tour’s highlights for families is the treasure hunt, specially designed by Kelly to captivate children while teaching them about the environment.

“With maps and clues in hand, kids embark on an island adventure to uncover natural treasures like sand stars, hidden sea creatures, and rock pool secrets,” Kelly explains. “It’s more than a game—it’s an educational activity that connects children to the marine ecosystem in an engaging way.”

The hunt encourages curiosity and exploration, with rewards that go beyond just finding prizes. While kids scour the island for their treasures, parents can join in or relax, knowing their children are learning in a fun and safe setting. “It’s a great way for families to bond over shared discoveries and experiences,” Kelly adds.

An Adventure from Start to Finish

The day begins with excitement as families set off on a river cruise, keeping their eyes peeled for crocodiles along the banks. Once the boat reaches the island, the real adventure begins with a snorkelling lesson.

“Snorkelling can be intimidating for kids who haven’t done it before,” Kelly shares. “That’s why we focus on teaching them how to use their gear and feel confident in the water. It’s wonderful to see their confidence grow as they realise they can explore the underwater world independently.”

With vibrant coral reefs, playful clownfish, and other marine life waiting to be discovered, kids and adults alike are drawn into the magic of the reef.

Crowning the Adventure

The treasure hunt culminates in a grand discovery—a treasure chest brimming with goodies. From costumes to gold coins, toys, and lollies, the chest transforms the young explorers into jubilant pirates and royalty. As the day winds down, families cruise back down the river, sharing stories and laughter, with smiles as wide as the horizon.

“By turning exploration into a learning experience, we help families connect with nature and each other in meaningful ways. Watching kids engage with the environment—and seeing their excitement when they uncover a treasure—is truly rewarding.”
