WHETHER you want to snorkel the Great Barrier Reef, explore pristine rainforests, relax on a secluded beach or try one of the many adventure activities available on Magnetic Island, Sunferries is your one-stop shop for the perfect holiday in North Queensland.

Sunferries has been an award-winning ferry service since 1997, providing the link between Townsville and Magnetic Island. They also conduct day trips to the Great Barrier Reef through their cruise company, Sunsea Cruises, and have a wide range of tour and accommodation packages to choose from at their travel company, Sunsea Travel.

Lose yourself for a day, a week, or forever on Magnetic Island. You will notice that it’s like no other island getaway. The contrasting landscape of this World Heritage-listed island makes this natural destination truly distinctive. The rocky granite headlands fuse with the 23 bays and beaches studded with magnificent hoop pine trees, creating a dramatic coastline. Visible from the sea, Mount Cook hovers above the eucalypt woods and green vine forests. The island provides the perfect setting for a unique escape.

More than two-thirds of the island is protected National Park and provides a haven for the native wildlife including rock wallabies, possums and more than 100 species of birdlife. Magnetic Island is home to northern Australia’s largest colony of koalas living in the wild. Tropical fish and mar­ine life live in the surrounding coral reefs and tranquil waters. Explore the land or the waters and discover the island’s unique surrounds.
