North Stradbroke Island Private Tour with Pickup

As the mainland fades behind us, enjoy expansive ocean views and the chance to observe seabirds and marine life while learning about the island’s place within this important marine ecosystem.

Myora Springs is a beautiful spot and source of freshwater for the wildlife of the Dunwich area, just a few kilometres out of Dunwich on the road to Amity Point and Point Lookout. Myora Springs, or Moongalba (sitting down place) has a pure-freshwater spring that is running today, just as it has for thousands of years. In the forest surrounding the Myora Springs is an abundance of freshwater crayfish, prawns, bungwal fern, and other plant foods and so it is no surprise to learn this was a favoured camping place of the Aboriginal people. The banks feature parts of large middens, which contain, among other things, cockle, oyster and whelk shells.

This gentle walk offers outstanding views across the ocean and is an ideal vantage point for spotting marine life such as turtles, dolphins, and manta rays. From June to November, visitors can delight in watching humpback whales pass close to the coastline on their annual migration. The Gorge Walk also offers stunning views along beautiful Main Beach to Jumpinpin, the Island’s southern tip.
