Sit back in comfort and safety, allowing Peddells reliability and experience to transfer you safely to your destination. With two mainland ferry departure points, air-conditioned coaches on Thursday Island to take you on your guided tour and an office on the passenger jetty at Thursday Island to supply you with a wealth of tourist information, souvenirs and tour bookings - you need look no further than Peddells Thursday Island Tours. Thursday Island is rich with history, culture and spectacular scenery. The view from Green Hill allows you to take in several nearby islands and the crystal turquoise-blue waters. About an hour from the mainland - you can see it down the channel! Underground, at Green Hill, is an historic fortress, which houses the local Museum. On your guided bus tour you will also take in the Pearl Divers monument, located in the cemetery, and numerous historic buildings such as the courthouse and customs house dating back to the early settlement of 1877. After your tour there are numerous places to dine and of course the most northern hotel in Australia. Souvenirs can be found at Peddells Jetty Shop, or in the main street - just one block away. The ferry crossing takes about an hour and departs from Seisia Jetty year round and Punsand Bay seasonally (peak season June to August). Savour the magnificent scenery as you cruise past numerous islands enroute to Thursday Island. Overhead keep your eyes peeled for the local Torres Strait pigeon, Lesser Frigates and Booby Birds. Watch for turtles, dolphins and mackerel jumping. Management and crew of Peddells Thursday Island Tours look forward to meeting you and ensuring you make the most of your visit to Thursday Island.
