West Coast Eco Adventure
OVERVIEW
Discover the other side of Magnetic Island that few people experience, on our fun 3 hour guided West Coast Eco Adventure.
​
We will take a slow bus trip along the West Point road as we explore mangroves, forests, waterfalls, creeks, as well as historic and cultural sites. Some points of interest will vary according to tides and weather, (i.e., mangroves at high or low tide, and waterfalls in or out of wet season).
FITNESS LEVEL & ACCESSIBILITY
A little low impact walking will be done during the tour, and may include 2 to 3 short walks through the mangroves, the salt marshes, along creek lines and along the beach at West Point. All walks will be easy in nature. This tour offers a more a relaxing wander rather than an active adventure.
We have a drop down step to the bus that also makes accessibility easier.
