North Stradbroke Island Day Trip

North Stradbroke Island (Minjerribah as it is known to the traditional owners of the Island the Quandamooka people) is Queensland’s most popular Island yet is just off the coast of Brisbane. Minjerribah is the second largest sand island in the world – almost 40 km long and has everything – untouched beauty of its beaches and rugged coastline – forests with large numbers of kangaroos and koalas, and – it is surrounded by crystal clear waters that you can swim in safely all year round. A unique and memorable experience in Brisbane and Australia.

North Stradbroke’s waters are home to large schools of dolphins, manta rays, and turtles – all of which can be seen from the Headland – Point Lookout.  A bonus is that in Winter, Point Lookout is considered to be Australia’s best land-based vantage point for spotting the migrating Humpback Whale.

*  Return bus and ferry transfers to Stradbroke Island. The cruise across Moreton Bay (about 50 minutes) is a tour in itself!
