5.0 / 5 · 113 traveler reviews
Discover North Stradbroke Island on a small-group eco day tour from Brisbane, featuring wild koalas, kangaroos, coastal walks, and beautiful beaches. Travel by ferry to Minjerribah and explore this natural wildlife haven with a knowledgeable local guide. As an Ecotourism Australia Certified operator, we promote responsible travel that protects fragile ecosystems and supports the island’s cultural and environmental heritage. Spot wild koalas, kangaroos, and dolphins year-round — and migrating humpback whales from June to October. Explore iconic sites like North Gorge Walk, Cylinder Beach, and Amity Point while learning about the island’s rich ecology and conservation efforts. This isn’t just a tour — it’s an immersive journey into the wild, natural beauty of Queensland.
Your experience
Stop 1
Enjoy a scenic ferry ride across Moreton Bay, where you might spot marine life, seabirds, and stunning coastal views. This eco-friendly transport adds to the adventure before arriving at Stradbroke Island.
Stop 2
Experience one of Stradbroke Island’s most breathtaking coastal walks. Follow the boardwalk along dramatic cliffs to spot kangaroos, wallabies, seabirds, and—during winter months—humpback whales (June-Oct).
Stop 3
Take in sweeping ocean views from Queensland’s most easterly point. This is one of the best land-based whale-watching spots in the world between June and October.
Stop 4
Sink your toes into the soft white sands of this pristine swimming beach. Enjoy free time for a swim, beach games, or simply relax by the turquoise water.
Stop 5
Visit a tranquil coastal reserve surrounded by native gum trees. Wild koalas can often be seen resting in the treetops, and dolphins are frequently spotted close to shore.
Stop 6
Relax on the scenic ferry ride back across Moreton Bay as the sun begins to set. Keep an eye out for dolphins playing in the water as you reflect on a day of wildlife, beaches, and breathtaking island views.
