Ferries to and from Magnetic Island

Magnetic Island sits just off the coast of Townsville, making it one of Queensland’s easiest island trips by ferry. It’s close enough for a simple day visit, but relaxed enough to feel like a real break from the mainland. The ferry route from Townsville is popular with locals and visitors, thanks to regular departures and a short crossing. Once you’re on the Island, you’ll find quiet bays, walking tracks, and small town areas rather than big resorts. It’s a good Destination if you want an island escape without a long journey.
