Located on Queensland's northernmost tip, Torres Strait is well worth a trip with its 274 islands. It’s so much more than sparkling clear waters and gently swaying palm trees. It’s where two of Earth’s oldest cultures meet.

Experience traditional culture on Prince of Wales Island with the Island Stars dance troupe. Explore Thursday Island and Prince of Wales Island on an eco-tour with Torres Strait Eco Adventures. Check-in at the Grand Hotel on Thursday Island or try glamping on a private island, Roko Island. Take in the views on a scenic flight with Nautilus Aviation and learn about Horn Island's role in WW2 with Torres Strait Heritage. Make sure you end your holiday at Gab Titui Cultural Centre, where you can view and buy local art, learn about traditional weaving or participate in a cooking class.
