Magnetic appeal
WITH the reef at our doorstep and Magnetic Island just a stone’s throw away, why go anywhere else.
From relaxing by the pool, days on the beach, meeting the wildlife on one of the many trails, Maggie is a place that is easy to love and a hard place to leave.
Winter on Maggie is a magical time of year with Horseshoe Bay offering a host of fun activities on the water, from tube rides to exploring on a jet ski or kayak.
Sealink North Queensland general manager Chris Briggs said no school holiday was complete without a trip to Magnetic Island for some relaxation and adventure in the great outdoors.
“Winter is the perfect time of year to enjoy Magnetic Island,” he said.
“Rediscovering the best of Magnetic Island with our local tourism operators is now more important than ever.
