2) Latest ferries departing Townsville that will get you to Island Palms before Reception closes is the 4:30pm passenger ferry or the 4:25pm car barge, but let us know you’re on it, or we will close at 5pm as scheduled.  If you’re going to arrive after 5pm Saturday or any other day, you must ring before 5pm Saturday so we can explain your after hours check-in.  Management is not necessarily on-site after hours, so this is essential.
