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.
