North Stradbroke Island | QLD
25th January- 29th January 2024
Mantas, turtles, leopard sharks & wildlife
North Stradbroke Island, also nicknamed ‘Straddie’, is a small subtropical island off the coast of Brisbane, in Queensland. It’s also the world’s second largest sand island where you can experience a diversity of land and ocean wildlife encounters. From koalas, kangaroos, echidnas, wallabies and other land animals to incredible encounters with turtles, mantas, leopard sharks and beautiful corals**, this island will not disappoint you.
Our dives will take place at Moreton Bay Marine Park, including Manta Bommie, a spectacular dive where reef mantas congregate around different cleaning stations. Make sure you look up to the blue and down to the reef to not miss out on the action packed diving. The whole dive operation is an adventure, starting with their unusual yet exciting boat launch!
