[...] I took a special interest since I’d considered Lizard Island for my honeymoon but decided to go to Wilson Island instead. It feels a bit uncanny that Ben and his girlfriend Bre stayed in the “Isolation” [...]

Good news – I’ve received the following email from Wilson Island management. I’m going to suggest they stock it in the gift shop at Heron Island and their other resorts too.

Hi Caitlin,

Further to your initial email to our Reservations Team, we have made some enquiries regarding biodegradable sunscreen.

While the jury seems to still be out on the extent of damage caused to coral reefs from sunscreen, we have done our own research and put forward recommendations to provide guests on Wilson Island with a 100% natural, totally biodegradable, Australian-made, coral-friendly sunscreen called ‘Sunclear’. We have also identified another option produced by Soleo Organics which is available through mainstream chemists.

We will endeavour to source and purchase the new biodegradable sunscreen for guests on Wilson Island in the coming weeks.

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We are always looking for ways to further improve our guests’ experiences whilst they stay with us, and so we welcome and act on constructive feedback wherever we can.

Kind regards
[name redacted]

PS I've had an email back from the management at Wilson Island saying that they will investigate whether they can offer biodegradable sunscreen. Fingers crossed! Caitlin's last blog post..Swimming with the turtles

Miguel, it was definitely relaxing! We had no internet, no telephone or mobile phone reception, no television or radio, no daily newspapers. We could just totally switch off from the stress of modern life and swim, snorkel, eat, drink and read books. I think it was probably the most relaxing holiday of my adult life! John, I hope you make it some day. Don't leave it too long! Caitlin's last blog post..Swimming with the turtles

Very nice post, never have heard of Glamping, but i am sure in places like this it makes all the sence. Great barrier reef is a dream of a life trip, that i am trying to do for the last years, although more and more i read i see there’s so many different trips for the same place.
This island will be bookmarked on my trip report, maybe one day i will touch it … Thanks for sharing
