💡 Good to know
- Supported product window. Reserve the weather-dependent full-day Whitehaven and Hill Inlet excursion from Port of Airlie, then drive north, park in Townsville and continue as a foot passenger to Magnetic Island with separately arranged local transport.
- This product is not generated October–May. The narrower June–September release avoids selling an unreviewed cyclone and marine-stinger season; always follow operator, park and Bureau of Meteorology advice for the booked dates.
