Summary:
Well worth the money to on the magnetic island tours. We learn a lot, plus we have the van for just us and my friends. We saw places and animals that we did not even seen in person, specially my 3 friends that did not see in real life. They are happy and we give maybe magnetic island tours a 5 stars

Summary:
Magnetic Island afternoon tour is the perfect stressfree way to see the island highlights if you only have one day or would be a good introduction to the island if staying longer. We had some time in Townsville in the morning then caught the Sealink ferry over.The local guide Neil gave us options and did not rush us at all. We learnt so much about the island and its history. Saw lots of butterflies on the walk , the local wallabies, curlews and even a koala.
