Description
Set off on an unforgettable 4.5-hour adventure boat tour around Magnetic Island, where tropical bays, reef-filled waters and stunning island scenery come together in one premium on-water experience. With departures available from Townsville and Magnetic Island, this tour is designed to showcase the very best of the island from both the water and the shoreline.
Cruise through Cleveland Bay and around Magnetic Island, visiting beautiful bays and snorkelling locations selected on the day to suit the conditions. Guests will enjoy up to two snorkelling experiences in reef-lined bays, with opportunities to swim, explore vibrant marine environments and take in the beauty of this iconic North Queensland destination.
Beyond the water, the tour also includes a guided walk to one of Magnetic Island’s natural lookouts or walking tracks, where guests can experience the island from a different perspective and take in its landscapes, history and natural beauty. In areas such as Arthur Bay and Florence Bay, koalas are regularly spotted along the track, with your guide sharing insights into their habitat and why Magnetic Island is famous for its wild koala population. A relaxed lunch stop in one of the island’s picturesque bays completes the experience.
