About this tour
Craft your own Magnetic Island experience with a private 5-hour tour tailored to your interests. Your local guide drives a small group of up to eight around this Queensland island, stopping where you choose—whether that's spotting koalas in eucalypt woodland, walking secluded beaches, examining WWII ruins, or climbing to panoramic lookouts. The itinerary is yours to shape. Air-conditioned vehicle, drinking water, and park fees included; you'll need to arrange your own ferry tickets and lunch.

What to expect
You'll meet your guide in town and hop into a cool vehicle for the afternoon. Chat about what you want to see, and they'll plot a route—might be wildlife watching in the morning, a beach swim midday, history talk at an old military site. Expect some walking between stops (terrain varies from easy beach strolls to steeper hill paths), plenty of stops to get out and look around, and genuine local knowledge about the island's ecology and past. Your guide reads the group and adjusts as you go.
Good to know
Ferry tickets to and from the mainland aren't included—book these separately with Sealink or Magnetic Island Ferries. Bring your own lunch or snacks. The tour suits most fitness levels, though steep walks aren't suitable for those with cardiac concerns. Strollers and prams welcome.
