Escape to Magnetic Island, a tropical paradise just a short ferry ride from Townsville, Queensland. With over 300 days of sunshine a year, this island is the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. Spend your days exploring secluded bays, hiking scenic trails, or snorkelling vibrant reefs. Keep your eyes open for wild koalas relaxing in eucalyptus trees along the Forts Walk.
Whether you prefer to hire a scooter, join a guided snorkel or sailing tour, or simply unwind with a cocktail at Horseshoe Bay, Magnetic Island offers that perfect island-life balance between adventure and serenity.
Back on the mainland, Townsville is a vibrant coastal city and the main gateway to Magnetic Island and the Great Barrier Reef. Stroll along The Strand promenade, enjoy local cafés and ocean views, or visit the Museum of Tropical Queensland.
