    Pilgrim Magnetic Island

    Our friendly skipper during your briefing will check in with you to find out which three bays you are keen to visit during the experience. Based on local knowledge you'll receive some recommendations, as well, based on the conditions of the day. E.g. during the wet season, Huntingfield Bay may be a great option as the waterfall may be running. There are around eight to ten beaches to choose from, so your experience will be tailored to you (and the conditions on the day).

    Arthur Bay

    On your experience, you'll stop at three different bays, one for snorkelling, one for swimming (and/or snorkelling) and one for a delicious picnic lunch. There are a few snorkelling spots to choose from but Arthur Bay and Florence Bay are firm favourites. Arthur Bay with spectacular coral and the lettuce garden and Florence Bay, also with coral and an array of colourful fish. If you prefer to see some giant clams we can stop at Geoffrey Bay, where you'll also see the Moltke Wreck.

    Q: Will I get seasick on Magnetic Islands Three Bays in Three Ways (Private Tour)?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
