A Tropical Paradise Like No Other
Surrounded by the untouched beauty of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, Hicks Island offers unrivaled fishing, crystal-clear waters, and pristine coral reefs teeming with marine life. Whether you seek a fisherman’s haven, a remote getaway, or an off-grid dream, this is your chance to own a slice of paradise.
600km north of Cairns, a world away, yet within easy reach.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to secure your own piece of island luxury, and I can tell you from 100% experience as I have stayed at the Crabpot, and it is just personification at its best, the fishing and the boating is second to none.
Haggerston island is across from Hicks and it is a world renowned tropical private resort, imagine just cruising the water with colourful coral beneath you and then stopping at Haggerston for a first class lunch and drinks, not to forget that you can do the same on your own Island, catch a crayfish, cook it at sundown and sit on the beach watching the sun disappear over to the west.
Please call me to secure your inspection of this fantastic home on one of Queensland’s most northern private islands
