What To Expect
Magnetic Island
Discover the side of Magnetic Island that few people experience, on our fun & informative 3.5 hour guided West Coast Eco Discovery Tour. We will take a slow bus trip along the West Point road as we explore mangroves, forests, waterfalls, creeks, as well as historic and cultural sites. Traverse rugged tracks to discover pristine beaches, ancient rock formations, and unique conservation areas. This Eco-enriched exploration showcases Magnetic Island’s diverse wildlife, Indigenous history, and rare ecosystems presented by our passionate, knowledgeable and accredited guide. Enjoy a fresh, seasonal morning tea in paradise, the midst of the island’s natural beauty. A little low impact walking will be done during the tour, and may include 2 to 3 short walks through the mangroves, the salt mashes, along creek lines and along the beach at West Point. All walks will be easy in nature. This tour offers a more relaxing wander rather than an active adventure.

5.00I first went on West Coast Eco Adventure in February, taking a second tour last week (March 2024). I thoroughly enjoyed both tours, and each was a little different. Tim is so informative and knowledgeable and is obviously very passionate about showing off the ecological aspects of Magnetic Island. The tour was very relaxed but professionally conducted. The bonus was that we saw 4 koalas in the wild - so exciting 😄 We were provided with a beautifully presented morning tea at the beach.
Must do tour
