West Coast Eco Adventure

West Coast Eco Adventure

  • Duration: 3 Hours (approx.)
  • Location: West Point, QLD
  • Product code: WC-EA

Tim your local tour guide, is an ecologist and zoologist who guarantees you a fun and inspiring tour. Explore the wonders of Magnetic Island's west coast, including wildlife, koala and conservation hot spots, history and World Heritage highlights, and everything in between. Complimentary tea, coffee and treats included!

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 mashes, along creek lines and along the beach at West Point. All walks will be short and 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.
