subject: 4 Amazing Adventure Tours On Stradbroke Island [print this page] Stradbroke Island packs a lot into one big place. The adventure tours are more than a sightseeing trip, they're an insight into one of Australia's greatest natural resources, the beautiful Queensland islands. If you've never been to the Queensland islands before, you won't believe what Stradbroke has to offer. You can stroll down from your beautiful Stradbroke Island home to the bush or the beach at your leisure.
Camping
Island camping is another experience entirely from bush camping, but you can get the best of both worlds on Straddie. The island provides you with wilderness and fabulous beaches, and you can take your pick of environments. You can have fresh food, fresh fish, and as much fresh air as you want.
This is great for those who want to have the full experience of the natural beauty of the island. It's particularly good for bush walkers and beach lovers who love the open skies and spaces of the real Queensland. You can meet the island goannas, the famous Queensland soldier crabs, and explore the mangrove zones.
Sea kayaking
Sea kayaking is a great sport, and it just happens to be a great way to explore the waters around Stradbroke. Even Captain Cook didn't get to see the islands this way, and he definitely missed a lot. The offshore waters around the island are a real voyage of discovery.
The tough, sturdy kayaks are also good value. They're very maneuverable, and they can safely get into areas bigger boats can't go. A true kayaker can have a ball, and for divers, the kayaks are good for scouting out the diving areas and the many beautiful spots around the islands.
Diving
The diving stories on Stradbroke are pretty impressive. One diver's first trip involved an encounter with a 6 metre Whale Shark. These are the biggest fish in the world. Manta rays, giant rays, and big sea turtles are other diving prize finds.
This is a complex coast underwater, with a lot of features for the true diver. These waters are right on the theoretical boundary between temperate and tropical waters, and the variety is to put it mildly stunning. The familiar clown fish, dolphins, fantastic sea slugs and other fabulous fish often put in an appearance for divers.
Snorkeling
For snorkeling fans the whole island is a playground. It's like swimming and flying across a new planet at the same time. This is great fun for kids, too, and excellent for learning good swimming practices in the sheltered areas of North Stradbroke as well as exploring the underwater world. The swimming experience itself is always good on Stradbroke, with so many individualistic unspoiled beaches and fabulous blue waters to enjoy.
Stradbroke Island adventure tours can be organized by checking with Straddie's tour operators. There's always something happening on Stradbroke, so also check out any current attractions while you're at it. You'll find that the more you find out, the more you'll love the island
