North Stradbroke Island 4WD Beach Safari

Overview

The Island extends about 32k along it's Eastern seaboard and 6km across it's Northern end.

North Stradbroke is composed almost entirely of sand with SAND DUNES that reach 200m high, Eucalypt Forests, patches of the Rain Forest, Typical Australian bush and hidden crystal clear lakes are situated all over the Island.

The Aboriginal presence is still strong today especially around Dunwich, the Island's main settlement.

A fun filled day exploring North Stradbroke Island, with genuine wilderness so close by. We cross the calm water of Moreton Bay by large car ferry, passing subtropical islands.

Watch from the rocky outcrops and picturesque gorges in the north as DOLPHINS play in the surf, huge MANTA RAYS glide past. SEA TURTLES often come to the surface for air. During winter the magnificent HUMPBACK WHALES migrating to the northern breeding grounds can be observed from land.
