When I arrived I soon realized that traveling around Magnetic Island was not going to be as relaxing as I had imagined. The island offers too much to do you cannot just lay around all day at the beach. From a variety of water sports to snorkeling and reef tours, to walking in the national park. Especially the walks on Magnetic Island make it into a paradise for hiking and wildlife lovers. 3/4 of the island is national park with a rich wildlife, so, if you are lucky, you can spot Koalas in the wild on the Forts Walk or feed rock wallabies at Arcadia Beach, or see Kookuburras, lots of them.Walking is the best way to discover Magnetic Island. There are 9 main walking trails to choose from or if you can do all of them! They take you to secluded little bays or to beautiful lookout with stunning views over the coastal cliffs and the blue ocean.
On 2 days I could see much of the island. This walking trail sign shows one of the many Walks on Magnetic Island winding through the dry forest of the national park to secluded little bays and to lookouts with stunning views over the coast.Here below just a few photos to give you an idea of what you see on Magnetic Island. This is Balding Bay, a beautiful secluded tiny little bay.
