Fantastic Day
David_W, Apr 2024
Fantastic day out and a great way to understand a little more about the island whilst taking I the beautiful scenery. Tim our guide was excellent, very knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. Even bonus visit to his own koala hospital. Excellent morning tea and snacks. Very much recommend, just do it you won't regret it. Julie and Dave UK.
So worth it

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and told us interesting stories. We were quite a small group, which made it even better to connect and ask questions and get information.
Tim was just the greatest...

Our guide was entertaining and very informative. He made the day so enjoyable. We had a great time. We were told about all the wildlife on and around the island and taken to many of the beautiful bays
Do your selves a favour and take this tour.

Our guide was very knowledgeable about the flora, fauna and the history of Magnetic island. The information was delivered with humour and various questions to get the visitors engaged. I highly recommend this tour to any visitors to the island. Also very good value.

A comprehensive and enjoyable tour of Magnetic Island with Neil whose knowledge of the island was extensive. Highly recommended.
One day on the island? Good tour option
Hannah_M, Oct 2023
If you have one day to explore the island, this is a pretty good tour option, you will see the highlights & the tourguide will provide a great overview of the nature, plants & wildlife. Our tourguide went out of his way to find us koalas and wallabies which was great and he was very friendly.
Discovering Magnetic island

Neil had a bountiful of knowledge of Magnetic island! He was approachable & friendly - great value in air- conditioned comfort. We even spotted a koala in the wild, I would recommend anyone to take this tour. Thank you for an enjoyable tour!

The tour was really nice and Neil explained us a lot about everything we encountered (plants, wildlife, etc.)
Time Well-Spent
Donna_S, Aug 2023
Our guide, Neil, was funny and knowledgeable. It was a group of 16 of us and Neil ensured all our questions were addressed and he accommodated all physical needs. Although we rented a jeep the day before and thought we covered the main highlights, Neil took us to places we didn't even know about. Places probably only known to locals.
Highly recommend
Shawn_R, Aug 2023
Fantastic tour! It was great seeing some off the wall places and learning the secrets to the island. Highly recommend.
Great day exploring Maggie
Bruce_W, Aug 2023
Neil was a great guide and took us to all the interesting spots which if we had driven ourselves may have been much more time consuming and would have likely missed a number of things. Really pleased we chose this option
Great value.
Cristina_F, Jul 2023
Great way to see the island with a very knowledgeable guide. We were taken to places the local buses would not have taken us.
Awesome Maggie tour!

Amazing day out!
Samantha_B, May 2023
Finding about local secrets & seeing most of the bays! Rock wallabies & photo opportunities were great!
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Thanks for the great review. We are glad you enjoyed our tour. We agree. The island has so many stunning vistas, that there are photo opportunities around every corner.
Excellent
Ann_P, Mar 2023
A great way to see Magnetic Island and very informative too. At first, I wasn't sure whether to book this, as there are a number of other ways to travel around the island. I was very glad I did by the end. Thank you Neil.

Loved seeing the kookaburra and rock wallabies......wish I would have had a chance to walk on the path toward koalas. Thanks for the friendly, knowledgeable guide. Interesting part Magnetic Island and environs played in war effort.
Unfortunately we couldn’t see koalas but it was a good day tour
saitobull, Feb 2023
Neil the driver was knowledgeable about the island and very friendly. He tried the best finding koalas for all of us.. unfortunately we couldn’t find any koalas on the day, but never mind I believe we all had a great day ☺️
