Magic day on Magnetic island - Perfect day along the west Coast of Magnetic. Tim is the perfect guide, friendly, knowledgeable and with great sense of humour. We experienced mangroves, other kinds if tropical forests, shorelines and saw quite a few birds - despite out visit being in the dry season. Loads of stories, both on plants, wildlife and the islands cultural heritage. We even saw two cute koalas! Highly recommendable!!!

A wonderful guided tour - We had a wonderful morning, learning alot about the island eco system especially saltwater and freshwater trees. Also we saw a mum and baby koala in the wild and learnt about birds etc. Tim shared alot of interesting information and a beautiful tasty morning tea. It was a lot of fun and I highly recommend it if you're interested in nature.
