From Brisbane: North Stradbroke Island Wildlife & Beach Day Tour

Leave Brisbane and
cross Moreton Bay by ferry

Depart from Pullman Brisbane King George Square at 8:40 AM, drive about 45 minutes, then take the ferry across Moreton Bay. Enjoy the sea views during the crossing; dolphins are sometimes seen swimming alongside the boat.

Meet wildlife and ocean views on the North Gorge Walk

At Point Lookout, Queensland's most easterly point, walk the North Gorge Walk for about 75 minutes. Look for wild kangaroos resting in the dunes and sea eagles overhead. From June to October, watch for humpback whales migrating close to shore; at other times of year, look for dolphins, turtles and rays in the turquoise water.

Then enjoy a lunch break of about 1 hour at Point Lookout. You can buy seafood or dishes made with island-grown produce at local cafés (meals not included). A portable cooler is available on the vehicle to store your food and drinks.

Swim and relax at Cylinder Beach

Spend about 75 minutes swimming, relaxing and taking photos at Cylinder Beach, known for its soft white sand and clear water.

End the day at Amity Point

In the afternoon, visit the coastal reserve of Amity Point. Look for wild koalas resting in gum trees and dolphins playing near the shore, and finish the day at a favourite local sunset spot. Return to Brisbane by ferry and vehicle, arriving around 7 to 7:15 PM depending on traffic and the ferry schedule.
