What to expect

Jump aboard for the ultimate Magnetic Island Pub Crawl, a fun-filled 4-hour boat tour combining island bars, tropical scenery, music and good times on the water. Departing from Flinders Street Wharves, this experience is all about soaking up the best of Magnetic Island with a drink in hand and a boat ride in between.

Cruise across Cleveland Bay to your first stop at Picnic Bay, where the afternoon kicks off at the iconic Picnic Bay Hotel before heading just up the road to the Magnetic Island Brewery, known for its locally brewed beers and laid-back island atmosphere.

From there, jump back on board and continue the adventure around to Nelly Bay, where guests step off onto the sand and head up to X Base for the third stop. After soaking up the atmosphere there, you’ll jump back on the boat and make your way around to Horseshoe Bay for the final stop at the Marlin Bar.

With music on board, stunning island scenery, tropical venues and a social atmosphere from start to finish, this is the perfect way to experience Magnetic Island with friends, a group, or anyone looking for something a little different on the water.
