Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We did the sunset kayak tour this evening led by Craig. We'd kayaked a few times before but Craig still gave us a thorough run down of the kayaks before we set off. He was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us some great insights into the local area and wildlife. We parked up on a beach and sat with a cool fizzy drink provided by Craig and then went back onto the water to watch the sunset. We saw several turtles along the way and Craig took lots of photos of us in the kayak. Would really recommend kayaking with Craig if you're in the Horseshoe Bay area!

Highlight of my trip to Magnetic Island. Knowledgeable and informative. Do not worry if you haven't done it before, it was my first time in a sea kayak, Craig made it look like no effort at all :) Five stars, highly recommended Sunset Tour on the island

Had an absolutely awesome experience, was both of our first time in a sea kayak and Craig provided great information and detail in showing us the ins and outs of sea kayaking. Felt absolutely safe, had a nice sunset stop off on white lady beach, saw sea turtles, black tipped reef sharks and beautiful coral at such a low tide.... Totally 10 outta 10 would recommend... Thanks for a great time.

Much appreciated for your kind words! We really do focus on giving you the best chances to spot turtles and get up close with nature. The reef sharks will only be seen at a low tide so your timing from June to August was perfect! It sounds like you both have had an amazing time on Magnetic Island and Thankyou for choosing to adventure with us!!
Kind regards

We would highly recommend this wonderful tour, Craig was so passionate about the local environment, sharing lots of interesting information. He was patient, respectful and polite throughout, and didn't hesitate to answer all our questions. We did the sunset tour, saw lots of wildlife, definitely a highlight of our visit to wonderful Maggie Island.

Sunset kayaking with Craig was a wonderful experience. We were taken out in a small group of only 5. I am not the strongest kayaker but I was able to comfortably complete the paddle while taking in the beautiful surrounds. I managed to spot one turtle pop it’s head out if water, but others spotted more! Craig was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and provided us with some incredible indigenous background and stories of his own. I would not hesitate to book the experience again on a return trip to Magnetic island!

Rachell Thankyou for this fantastic trip advisor review and you did a fantastic job on the kayaks 😊
We love seeing our guest build confidence throughout the tour and always a bonus when we can spot turtles 🐢❤️🐢❤️
Our tours we keep at a nice relaxing pace so we can absorb the views of the island and educate our guest the history of some of the more remote areas of the island.
Thankyou again for choosing to tour with us and hope to see you again some other time on Maggie island- Yunbenun country ❤️

My friends and I did the sunset tour this evening which I would definitely recommend. It was really enjoyable, with a beautiful sunset and we were lucky enough to see lots of turtles and even a whale and her calf. Craig was a great tour guide with plenty of knowledge about the surroundings. A must do on Magnetic Island!

Highly recommended. This is a tour with the lot: picturesque surroundings, reasonable activity level, great guiding. The kayaks were easier to paddle than expected, which makes it possible for people who are only moderately fit. We visited some beautiful spots on the coastline, including White Lady Bay, where we climbed up onto the rocks for a perfect view of the sun setting. Craig is an excellent guide who is deeply attached to the area and its traditional custodians. Don't miss.

Our morning kayak trip was fabulous!! Craig, our guide, was phenomenal. He shared his vast experiences with us and gave incredible insight into the culture of Australia’s first people. He was also a superb guide and safely guided us over reefs, around rocky headlands, and onto beaches. I highly recommend this trip as a great way to experience the island. Thanks Craig!!

We hope to see you again on Magnetic island and safe travels, much appreciated your kind words.

Craig was amazing from the get go. He made us feel so welcome and took his time to learn everyone’s names and chat with everyone. The tour was really good and Craig was great at explaining everything. Such a good guy, I couldn’t recommend him and magnetic island sea kayaking more.

Our indigenous guide, Craig, was very clear in explaining to our group how to use the kayaks. Some of our group were a little apprehensive but Craig was able to calm their nerves. Once we set off Craig was able to highlight the main features around Horseshoe Bay especially those that had indigenous significance. The sunset was amazing and the weather was calm for our afternoon sunset cruise.
