COVID-19 has led to major changes to how we travel. If you're planning a trip to Torres Strait Islands, these tips will help you navigate these new challenges: Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking anything. Also check if there are any requirements you'll need to follow on arrival, such as mandatory quarantining. You must wear a face mask at the airport, even at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA officer. You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, you should position the pass on the reader and then hold it up for the agent to visually inspect it. One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on luggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag at the X-ray machine for screening. Empty your personal items from your pockets, such as your wallet, keys and phone, and place them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will reduce handling during screening. Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA employee will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.

8.6/10 Excellent! (67 reviews)

Any island in norther Australia is going to be expensive as all equipment and consumables come by barge. This accommodation was still very good value for money. We had the warer view room with the wrap around balcony. It felt very private, yet close to the pool. The extensive continental breakfast was provided in the room and topped up daily. Yum. There is an air-conditioner as well as a fan. There was a really long desk in the room that could be used for work, eating or suitcases. A new extra large tv for entertainment. We really liked the restaurant meals - very large and filling with variety.
