North Stradbroke Island Day Trip from Brisbane – Wildlife & Beaches

Embark on an unforgettable day trip to North Stradbroke Island — the world’s second-largest sand island. Known affectionately as “Straddie,” this island paradise is home to pristine beaches, dramatic coastal cliffs, and an abundance of Australian wildlife.

Your small-group adventure begins with a scenic ferry crossing from Brisbane across Moreton Bay. Relax and enjoy the views — you might even spot dolphins or sea birds along the way.

Your day includes:

Point Lookout Gorge Walk

Stroll along Straddie’s most iconic coastal trail with spectacular ocean views and rugged cliffs. Keep watch for dolphins, turtles, sea eagles, and wallabies — and from June to October, migrating humpback whales.

Picnic with a View

Take a break and enjoy lunch with incredible island scenery. You can bring your own picnic or purchase from local cafés.

Beach Free Time

Relax on the sand, take a refreshing swim, or join a friendly beach game. We provide balls, rackets, and frisbees for a bit of fun in the sun!

Amity Point – Hidden Beach & Koala Spotting

Discover the charm of Amity Point, where koalas often rest in the gum trees and dolphins can be seen close to shore. It’s a peaceful spot to unwind before the journey home.

Sunset Moment

End the day beautifully with a complimentary drink on the beach as the sun sets over the water.

Transport & Ferry Crossing Included

Your round-trip includes comfortable transport from Brisbane and the ferry crossing — so you can simply sit back, relax, and enjoy the island.

Our “Straddie Tour” is our signature experience — a perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and wildlife encounters. We know the island inside out and can’t wait to share its beauty with you.
