Overview
There are lots of things to see and to do in one day at North Stradbroke Island, 30km southeast of Brisbane: Freshwater lakes, coastal walks, paradisiac beaches, rich marine life, wildlife, culture, and history. You will get to walk the Gorge Walk, awarded one of the most amazing coastal walks in Australia.
What you will be doing
After a short 45 minutes driving to the ferry port, it's time for breakfast (own expenses) either at the port or on the ferry during the crossing.
After arriving at this Paradise Island, the first stop will be at Brown Lake, and on the way there, your tour guide will talk about the island and the historic and cultural importance of the Quandamooka People. Get refreshed and re-energised at the fresh waters of this beautiful lake.
From there, after a quick stop at Myora Springs, you go straight to the Northwest side of the island, a perfect lookout spot to take pictures and go for a walk at Cylinder Beach. And then, the big attraction of the day: The Gorge Walk. On this 40-45 minutes walk, you will enjoy the amazing views of the Coral Sea at the South Pacific Ocean, and it's incredibly rich marine life: great chances to spot manta rays, turtles, dolphins, and much more.
Back from the walk, amazed by the experience, it's time for lunch at Point Lookout. You can either bring your own lunch or buy a takeaway and enjoy a picnic with amazing views.
It's then time to relax at the beach, so the tour will be headed to Amity Point. Yourguide will go for a walk (secret place) to search for koalas in the wild and, if koalas-spotting is not your thing, you can enjoy even more time at the beach.
After this amazing day, it's time to take the ferry back to the mainland, expected time of arrival in Brisbane is around 16:00.
