Experience an eco-certified adventure to Minjerribah/North Stradbroke Island – the world’s second-largest sand island and a paradise of wildlife, beaches, and culture. This small-group tour combines breathtaking coastal scenery, wild encounters, and expert local insight.

As an Ecotourism Australia Certified operator, we promote responsible travel that protects fragile ecosystems and supports the island’s cultural and environmental heritage.

Spot wild koalas, kangaroos, and dolphins year-round — and migrating humpback whales from June to October. Explore iconic sites like North Gorge Walk, Cylinder Beach, and Amity Point while learning about the island’s rich ecology and conservation efforts.

This isn’t just a tour — it’s an immersive journey into the wild, natural beauty of Queensland.
