Description

There are lots of things to see and to do in one day: Freshwater lakes, coastal walks, paradisiac beaches, rich marine life, and wildlife, culture, and history. On this tour you will walk the Gorge Walk, awarded one of the most amazing coastal walks in Australia, where there are great chances to spot manta rays, turtles, dolphins, and much more. And the most important thing: with no rush! Just take your time enjoying the attractions. And the beaches! The tour guide will take you on a walk in a secret place to see Koalas in the wild and you will also have enough time to enjoy swimming at Amity Point Beach. Our objective is to create a more intimate experience with the travelers, that’s why the maximum number of people is 11 in each group. Enjoy an amazing sunset at the ferry on the way back to mainland. This tour focuses on creating remarkable memories, relaxing, and connecting with mother nature, history and culture. Come and join in and see what all the fuss is about!

Brown Lake is pure rainwater tinged brown by the native tea trees, also known as Lake Bummiera, some say this hidden treasure has rejuvenating waters.

It's time for lunch at Point Lookout. As we like giving our travelers multiple choices, you can either bring your own lunch or buy a takeway and enjoy a picnic with amazing views.

It's then time to relax at the beach, so the tour will be headed to Amity Point. Your tour guide will take you on a walk (secret place) to search for koalas in the wild and, if koalas-spotting is not your thing, again you have options: enjoy even more time at the beach.

Definitely recommended

The booking to actual experience of the tour, everything was absolutely wonderful. Aggie was a delightful host and guide... She made us feel very welcomed and comfortable throughout. The pace of the tour was perfect and the overall management was smooth as butter. Icing on the cake, thanks to Aggie were the adorable kangaroos and koalas spotted in their natural environment, it will be my most special takeaway from the trip.

Perfect trip of a glimpse of North Stradbroke Island 🏞️🏝️!

The view of Pacific Ocean was breathtaking, and fortunately we met some wild dolphins, whale, kangaroos(family), and koalas! And the tour guide was great and really care for everyone in the tour, regardless of races, or colours(no matter you're white or yellow), and ages(from elderly to children). But it's a pity that the time was a little less in North Gorge Walk and the shops beside the Walk, we'd love to spend more time relaxing in the small but delicate area. In total, we would definitely recommend the tour and Hits the Road Company to everyone!

Lovely day in an interesting environment.

An enjoyable and informative tour round the sights, wildlife and beaches of Straddie. We saw whales, a couple of dolphins and even a couple of koala way up high in a gumtree, and did the stunning gorge walk. A long day but a good one, especially with the fine weather.

Most amazing tour ever.

Rob was an amazing tour guide and took time to meet all of our needs. He is intelligent and kind. His knowledge of the area was priceless. The trip made our week that much better! This tour gives you a real understanding of the island and Australia in general.
