Take a ride on the wild side, and explore the magical west coast of Magnetic Island!

"Rated No.1 experience by our group for our week-long stay on Magnetic Island!"

- Issy Hubbard

The west coast has it all ... and it's the side of "Maggie" that few people see!

 

Come and join us to discover everything from unbelievable sunsets across the Coral Sea and mainland Australia, to abundant wildlife and conservation parks with rare and critical ecosystems, from thousands of years of Indigenous history and ancient rock formations, to stories about mining for gold and more - all on our World Heritage Magnetic Island.

MI Ride Discovery Tours is offering two 4WD guided bus tours along the West Point track:

​

  • A 2 hour West Point Sunset Safari, treating yourselves to the spectacular sunsets of West Point, with a complimentary champagne, beer, wine or fruit juice plus a shared seasonal platter.

REVIEW - West Point Sunset Tour

"I COULDN’T RECOMMEND THIS ENOUGH!!



We booked the 2 hour sunset tour and Tim was very knowledgeable, accommodating and just an all round lovely person. If you are visiting the island, this experience with MI Ride is one that can’t be missed. Thankyou Tim!"

REVIEW - West Point Eco Adventure

"A FASCINATING INSIGHT TO A BEAUTIFUL PART OF THE ISLAND!

Absolutely superb! A fascinating insight into a beautiful and (fortunately!) lesser visited part of Maggie. Tim is both extremely knowledgeable and highly entertaining. And, whilst the tour was conducted at a comfortable, leisurely pace, we came away with a wealth of new knowledge and fabulous memories. Thank you for a brilliant and extremely enjoyable morning."
