2025 Florence Bay Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

The main reason I came to Magnetic Island! To see wild koalas🌿✨ Because they are wild, whether you can meet them or not is really up to luck🍀 I heard that there is a high chance of meeting them on the hiking trail called "The Forts", so I set off right away👍 On the way, while walking while looking for koalas, I got the happy information from people passing by that "There was one up ahead!"👂✨ Furthermore, they told me, "There is an arrow made from a big tree branch, so use that as a landmark," and as I proceeded carefully... I found the arrow! On top of the tree up ahead, there was a koala! ! 🌳💤 It's fluffy and so cute! ! 😍 I'm so impressed that I can meet a wild koala so close, and for free😭💖 This trail is a luxurious route where you can enjoy not only koalas, but also rich nature, beautiful seascapes, and war ruins🌊🌿 The view from the top is truly spectacular! You'll be mesmerized by the panoramic view 🤩✨ Whether you can see a koala depends on luck, but try walking while looking up or asking people you pass by for information 📣 This is a highly recommended spot for koala and nature lovers 💯 📝 Tips: Koalas don't like the heat, so the best time to go is in the cooler hours of the morning to early afternoon! 🌞Don't forget to stay hydrated, take sunscreen, and bring your camera📸✨ 📍The Forts Walk 🕒 Time required: about 1.5 hours (round trip) #worldtrip #australia #magneticisland #koala #hiking _________ Wild Koala at Magnetic Island🐨 My top reason to visit Magnetic Island was to see a wild koala! 🌿 You can spot them on the Forts Walk trail. Look for a branch arrow on the ground – it points to the tree where a koala is napping! So fluffy and cute 🥹💕 The trail also has great views and historic sites. Best time to go is in the morning before it gets hot! Don't forget water and sunscreen ☀️📸 📍The Forts Walk 🕒 About 1.5 hours round trip #worldtrip #australia #magneticisland #koala #hikingtrails

#australiatrip An amazing place to go for a relaxing walk along the beach, have a swim in the cool clear water. Somewhat challenging (3000 steps) up the beautiful mountain trail, running through the jungles mixed with eucalyptus layout. U will be welcomed by breeze coming off the actual beach itself once on the summit. Fantastic beach with no people, super clear water, fine sand, somewhat pink in the sunset, given the nearby rock minerals, beautiful round huge rock formations, plenty of coconut Palms and frangipani trees. Swim nude, no one will judge, given U are the oy one on the beach. Visited a week before Easter.

#australiatrip Beautiful sheltered bay, great snorkeling and swimming. Clear pristine beaches. On a calm day this is one of the most beautiful beaches I've been to and swimming there is a joy. Look out during stinger season and enjoy the abundance of fish and stingrays. Enjoy your swim when the water is clear and bring a mask and snorkel! Great view, good atmosphere, enough food options to stay a few days. Also good for a day trip

#australiatrip What a cool hike that is worth doing if you're in Magnetic Island! It's about a 90min return and lots of WW2 history that's signed throughout where the soldiers were based between 1939-45. The views are glorious and it can get hit quick so early morning is recommended. Amazing views and I got to see a koala! The track is easy to climb and has drinking water available at one spot. There are no toilets though. It is very popular with families as well. It's best to rent a car and travel at your own pace else you will end up waiting for bus.
