From Brisbane: North Stradbroke Island Eco Tour - Small Group

Cross Moreton Bay by ferry
to North Stradbroke Island

After driving from Brisbane, take a ferry for about 45 minutes across Moreton Bay. On the crossing, dolphins sometimes ride the bow wave, turtles pop up to the surface, and dugongs can occasionally be seen in the shallows.

Once on the island, your first stop is Amity Point, a quiet village known for its calm waters and dolphins. Start your island visit with views of the wooden jetty, mangroves and open bay.

Look out over the Pacific
from Deadman's Beach and Point Lookout

Next, explore Deadman's Beach, surrounded by sand dunes and rugged headlands. From May to October, it is one of the best places on the island to see humpback whales.

At midday, take a lunch break at Point Lookout, with views of the Pacific Ocean. Lunch is not included; you can buy the prawn rolls from the local Prawn Shack or food from nearby cafes, or bring your own picnic.

Walk the North Gorge Walk with your guide

After lunch, walk the North Gorge Walk, a coastal track along the cliffs, with your guide. Look out for surfing dolphins, sea turtles and eagles overhead, and you may see kangaroos resting near the track or koalas in the trees.

End the day at Cylinder Beach
and Myora Springs

Enjoy free time swimming or relaxing at Cylinder Beach, with soft white sand and clear water. Finally, visit Myora Springs, a freshwater creek surrounded by native forest, where your guide shares stories about its ecology and Aboriginal culture. Return by ferry and finish the tour in Brisbane.
