About this tour
This 10-hour day tour departs Brisbane for North Stradbroke Island via luxury catamaran across Moreton Bay, where you'll likely spot dolphins en route. Once on the island, a local guide leads you through coastal landmarks—Point Lookout, North Gorge, Amity Point, Cylinder Beach—and quieter spots like Myora Springs. Wildlife encounters include koalas, kangaroos, turtles, and seabirds. Small groups keep the pace relaxed, with downtime to swim or simply sit on white sand. A refreshing alternative to the usual big-bus operations.

What to expect
You'll board a catamaran early morning and cruise roughly 30 minutes across Moreton Bay to the island. On arrival, your guide navigates you to established viewpoints and quieter natural areas over the next 5–6 hours, mixing short walks with wildlife pauses and photo stops. The pace is deliberate—no rushing between spots. Afternoon brings several hours at Cylinder Beach to swim, wade, or rest. The return catamaran journey mirrors the morning crossing. Expect sun exposure, variable sea conditions, and mostly flat terrain, though a few short inclines reward you with views.
