We will board the ferry for the scenic 45-minute crossing of Moreton Bay. As the mainland fades behind us, enjoy expansive ocean views and the chance to observe seabirds and marine life while learning about the island’s place within this important marine ecosystem.

“Capeembah” Myora Springs is a beautiful spot and source of freshwater for the wildlife of the Dunwich area, just a few kilometres out of Dunwich on the road to Amity Point and Point Lookout. Myora Springs, or Moongalba (sitting down place) has a pure-freshwater spring that is running today, just as it has for thousands of years. In the forest surrounding the Myora Springs is an abundance of freshwater crayfish, prawns, bungwal fern, and other plant foods and so it is no surprise to learn this was a favoured camping place of the Aboriginal people. The banks feature parts of large middens, which contain, among other things, cockle, oyster and whelk shells.

The Gorge Walk at Point Lookout is a must for all visitors to the island. This gentle walk offers outstanding views across the ocean and is an ideal vantage point for spotting marine life such as turtles, dolphins, and manta rays. From June to November, visitors can delight in watching humpback whales pass close to the coastline on their annual migration. The Gorge Walk also offers stunning views along beautiful Main Beach to Jumpinpin, the Island’s southern tip.

There is plenty of opportunities to choose for a delicious lunch in Point Lookout. And there is two amazing ice creme shop to choose from.

After lunch, we will visit one of the beautiful beaches around Amity Point. We visit Amity Point for a gentle stroll beneath coastal gums, keeping an eye out for koalas resting high in the canopy. This quiet coastal area offers a slower pace and a chance to enjoy the island’s peaceful atmosphere.

A natural perched lake, pure rainwater tinged brown by the native tea trees, Brown Lake, or Lake Bummiera, is a hidden treasure. Popular swimming place and picnic spot. The calm tranquility of the lake is entrancing, especially if you visit in the early morning or late afternoon. In spring, wildflowers dot the surrounding bushland. Lake Bummiera has special significance to the local Aboriginal people, and if you visit at a quiet time of day you’ll feel the magic.

Depending on opening days, there may also be an opportunity to visit the Quandamooka Art and Culture Centre or a local museum, offering deeper insight into the island’s rich cultural heritage.

We will board the ferry for the scenic 45-minute crossing of Moreton Bay. You will leave North Stradbroke Island not just with stunning photographs, but with a collection of shared moments, meaningful encounters, and lasting memories that make a small-group experience truly special.
