Dense, green vegetation is highlighted against a backdrop of clear, blue, open waters, blue-green reef flats and near-white sandy beaches. This remote group of islands allows visitors to engage in nature-based activities, such as birdwatching and camping.

Three Islands Group National Park protects natural, cultural and World Heritage values including coastal bird habitats that are regionally and nationally significant.

Shallow lagoons separate the islands within each of the Three and Two islands sub-groups—crystal blue water lapping against the islands’ sandy beaches. Mangroves, beach woodlands, grasslands, closed forest and casuarinas are some of the plant communities seen while island hopping. Varied vegetation can be found on the continental islands of the Rocky Islets sub-group. Significant pisonia forest, woodland and vine forests can be found on island (a), while island (b) is scattered with herbland and shrubland interspersed with sandy areas. In contrast, the steep, dark, granite boulders of island (c) appear to rise from the sea, highlighted against the skyline. Stark from a distance, closer viewing reveals the rocks are teeming with seabirds.
