About Cruising to Willis Island

Willis Island lies beyond the Great Barrier Reef and is one of Australia's three southernmost islands -- the only one of which that is actually inhabited. However, it is not a residential island. It is inhabited by a weather station. Cruise ships sail by the island while an onboard guide points out notable sights, which may include the island's flora and fauna.

Willis Island Cruise Reviews
Not a port call, just a "drive by." It's a small island that is a weather research station, manned by 4 people at a time. We did get to see them launch a small weather balloon as we sailed by. Read More
