Respect Traditional Owners

Magnetic Island is the traditional country of the Wulgurukaba people who have lived on and around the island for thousands of years. Respect Aboriginal cultural sites and consider learning about the island's Indigenous history through local resources and interpretive signs.

Protect the Environment

Magnetic Island is a national park. Do not remove rocks, shells, coral, or plant material. Pack out all rubbish, stay on marked trails, and use only reef-safe sunscreen when snorkelling. The island's health depends on every visitor treating it with care.

Full detail — itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety — is in the Magnetic Island travel guide.
