If you suffer from sea sickness easy  I would recommend taking tablets as the waters can be a little rough between the islands.

If you have the time I would consider heading to Friday island for lunch. it is a working pearl farm and he shows you how it is done and you can buy from their shop. Try to avoid heading to TI on a Sunday most shops are closed.

We are also planning to visit Thursday Island. I was planning to leave the details (bookings, etc) to when we are at Seisia.

Just a heads up. The ferry company that used to operate out of Punsand Bay to Thursday Island isn't operating this year, so everybody from Punsand Bay now has to catch the Peddell's ferry from Seisia across to TI.

We have booked the ferry and tour of TI for our group of 18 for Tue 3 July.
