The tour was fantastic. Tim the tour guide was very knowledgeable about the island. We saw a few koalas along the way. Tim made us all feel welcome. Was money well spent.

Amazing tour!

An absolutely amazing tour. Tim knows this island like the back of his hand - extremely knowledgeable. Myself and my boyfriend loved every second of this tour, we would recommend it to anyone!

Amazing Tour, Great Experience

Published on Oct, 2024

Amazing Tour - tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and funny! It was a great experience and you really got to see the whole island. Seeing the plantation and Koala Hospital made it a special memory! Massive thank you to Izzy’s Dad!

Our great day on Magnetic Island

Published on Oct, 2024

Our bus driver Tim was amazing. His local knowledge excellent. We saw so much of this beautiful island and took so many great photos.

Perfect way to get around the island and experience all that Maggie has to offer

Published on Oct, 2024

This was not our first trip to Maggie but it was certainly The Best Experience! Our family came to visit from interstate so we decided to book a tour. It was great as it took the pressure off us and we could sit back and enjoy the experience with them. Not only was it a great way to get around the island and experience all the breathtaking views, the tour was very informative and entertaining. Neil is well travelled and educated, and radiates plenty of personality.
