Search Prince Of Wales hotels

The best area to stay in Prince Of Wales is the eastern side of the island, particularly around the main settlement of Thursday Island, for convenience and access to facilities.


Thursday Island acts as the administrative and commercial hub of the Torres Strait. It's where you'll find the majority of shops, eateries, and local services. The island is small enough to navigate easily, with Main Street running through the centre where most businesses are located. From here, you can arrange tours to neighbouring islands or explore local points of interest like Green Hill Fort.


For travellers looking for a base with easy access to amenities and transport links, staying on Thursday Island is ideal. You'll be close to the ferry terminal for connections to other islands and the airport on Horn Island, making day trips straightforward.

The best time to visit Prince Of Wales, Queensland, Australia, is during the dry season, which runs from May to October.


During these months, you'll experience consistently sunny days with lower humidity and pleasant temperatures, typically ranging from 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. This weather is ideal for outdoor activities such as exploring the island's beaches, bushwalking, and enjoying the clear waters for snorkelling or diving. You'll find it comfortable for any excursions.


The shoulder months of May and October are particularly good for travellers looking for a balance of excellent weather and fewer crowds. Accommodation and tour operators are in full swing, but you'll experience a slightly more relaxed atmosphere compared to the peak winter months.
