Excellent day, beautiful beach, surprised by amount of marine life & wildlife - Great guide- Ivy was a lot of fun, and informative.
Beautiful main beach, could watch the waves for hours.
Ivy said it is "possible" to see manta rays, dolphins, whales, turtles, kangaroos and koalas during a trip, and he delivered all that he promised.
Everywhere was easy access, nature walk was easy inclines, with options of walking down closer on the rocks safely, this gives the best options of seeing marine life, but still possible from boardwalk.
We (as Aussies) have never seen koalas in their natural habitat, it was so amazing to wander around and spot them in the trees, must have been incredible for overseas visitors to see.
Thanks Ivy- "journée fantastique"

Very pleasant trip and... - Very pleasant trip and the guide, Ivy, was knowledgeable and very nice and always happy to help. Strabroke island is beautiful and worth a visit. I would just point out, for the sake of people planning on going for this trip, that while the ticket I got said the tour started at 10, the meeting was actually at 8:30!

A Must Do! - Have you ever experienced a day that you wish you could relive forever? This was that day for me. I visited solo from the US and knew no one else on this trip. I was the only American in a group of French people and as awkward as that might sound, the experience was actually so amazing! The island is beautiful and there are so many opportunities to spot wild life but the greatest take away was the new friendships I made. It’s amazing to have such a unique and cool experience with strangers that become quick friends. Ivy, the host, was so incredible and knowledgeable. You can tell he has a real passion for what he does. He was so thoughtful and kind the entire trip. I seriously want to do this again just to hang out with him again. If you’re looking for a unique experience while visiting Brisbane, this is it! You won’t be disappointed!

Lovely trip to Straddie - We saw quite a bit of wildlife, for example: a pod of dolphins surfing, whale slapping it's pectoral fin, turtles, koalas and more. The guide was very friendly and it was lovely having the smaller group.
