Orpheus Island is in the Great Barrier Reef and is under the control of the Queensland National Parks and Wildlife Service. It was originally a volcanic island and is now home to world-class resort.

Orpheus Island offers guests a chance to see a large variety of wildlife. The birds are especially interesting. Wildlife includes snakes, echidnas, orange-footed scrubfowl, friar birds, reef herons ospreys, kites, egrets, and yellow-bellied sunbirds.

There are a number of reefs surrounding the island. Some are zoned for limited fishing but others are zoned “look but don’t touch.” Rules are enforced to protect the coral from damage by visitors.

The resort on Orpheus Island is a perfect getaway to just relax. It is a tranquil paradise with no television or telephones. They offer a number of honeymoon packages and cater to couples. Due to the nature of the resort, they do not offer any facilities or activities for children.
