This half day tour is a perfect introduction to Magnetic Island - Neil was perfect, tailoring the tour to our groups interest - no scripted tours here. Would not hesitate to recommend, one of the highlights of our Australia trip !

The entire tour was great, got to see all parts of the island and tons of wildlife. Lots of very interesting history included as well.

Very informative, interesting and fun. Neil was great to chat with and knew everything about the island, we learned so much more than we would have by just touring around ourselves. The wallabies and seeing some local hawk species were a great highlight. The bus was clean and well maintained. Overall a great way to see the island and learn some history and fun stories of the area. Also discovered some hidden gems to come back and explore later during different times of the year. Highly recommend.

Our guide, Neil, made this tour a thoroughly enjoyable experience. He has an excellent knowledge of the island and its inhabitants and a great sense of humour. What more can you ask for?
