Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Barrow Island?
The best time to go to Barrow Island is during the dry season, which runs from May to October, as this period offers the most pleasant weather for exploring the island.

During these months, you can expect clear skies, lower humidity, and average daily temperatures ranging from 20°C to 30°C. This makes it ideal for outdoor activities such as wildlife spotting, birdwatching, and enjoying the island's pristine beaches without the intense heat and humidity of the wet season. The calmer seas during this time also make travel to and from the island more predictable.

For those interested in marine life, particularly turtle nesting and hatching, visiting between November and March can be rewarding. However, this is also the wet season, characterised by higher temperatures, humidity, and a greater chance of cyclones and heavy rainfall, which can disrupt travel plans.
