About Acheron Island

island in Queensland, Australia

Acheron Island is a small island located off the coast of Queensland, rising to an elevation of 31 metres above sea level. Situated at coordinates approximately 18.96°S, 146.64°E, it lies in the waters of north Queensland, in the general vicinity of Townsville.

Beyond its status as an island landmass in Queensland waters, publicly available data on Acheron Island's facilities, access arrangements, and visitor infrastructure is limited. The information below reflects what is known.

Getting There and Access

As with most small offshore islands in Queensland, access to Acheron Island would require private or chartered watercraft. There are no documented public ferry services or commercial tour operators confirmed to service the island based on available data.

Visitor Tips

  • There are no food or drink facilities on the island - no café, restaurant, picnic area, or BYO provisions infrastructure is available
  • Visitors should plan to be entirely self-sufficient with water, food, and any supplies needed for their time on the island
  • Given the lack of documented facilities, it is worth contacting the relevant Queensland marine or parks authority before planning a visit to confirm access conditions, any permit requirements, and current regulations

Further Information

More details about Acheron Island may be available via its Wikipedia entry or through Queensland Government marine and national parks resources.
