What to expect

Embark on an eco-certified day trip to Minjerribah / North Stradbroke Island, a haven of beaches, bushland, and diverse wildlife just a short ferry ride from Brisbane. Certified by Ecotourism Australia, this tour is designed to protect the island’s ecosystems while offering a rich and memorable experience.

Your adventure begins with a scenic ferry ride across Moreton Bay, where dolphins are often spotted. On the island, join the guided North Gorge Walk to admire rugged cliffs, lush bushland, and seasonal humpback whales (June–October). At Point Lookout, Queensland’s easternmost point, panoramic ocean views and marine life sightings provide an unforgettable highlight.

Enjoy free time at Cylinder Beach to swim, sunbathe, or simply relax on the sand. A lunch stop at a local café (meal not included) offers fresh produce and seafood, supporting the island’s community. Later, stroll through wildlife-rich bushland and keep an eye out for koalas resting in the treetops or dolphins playing close to shore.

As the day winds down, visit Amity Point for a tranquil sunset before the ferry return. With small groups, expert local guides, and responsible wildlife viewing, this eco-conscious tour blends sustainability with breathtaking natural beauty.

Ivy the guide was superb, he took great care of everyone, was engaging and helpful and very knowledgeable. Well paced, nothing was too much trouble. Whilst there was some walking it was slow with lots of stops to watch the wildlife. Excellent day out.

If I am lucky enough to return to Brisbane, I would do this trip again. Ivy was an excellent guide. We saw kangaroos, wild koalas, flying foxes, dolphins and turtles. The scenery was spectacular and the boardwalk was beautiful – a highlight of my stay in Australia. Thank you.
