Best things to do on Magnetic Island 2025 Summer
If you aren’t a fan of crowds, then summer is the perfect time of year for a Magnetic Island adventure. You can expect hot and humid weather with some rain, but because it is the low season, you’ll have the island all to yourself. Well, almost.
Nature walks galore
The Magnetic Island National Park offers amazing views and nature walks for all levels of ability.
The Forts Walk is a must-do if you want to soak up some WWII history.
For a shorter hike, Picnic Bay heading to Hawkings Point or the Endeavour Falls trail may be just the ticket.

Dive into adventure
It’s summer and the water is calling. But keep in mind, it is stinger season so protect yourself! Snorkelling is an absolute must. Nelly Bay is a great starting place for beginners though experienced snorkelers may want to head out to Geoffrey Bay.
Things to do on Magnetic Island with the family
Gather the fam for a guided nature tour exploring the island’s diverse ecosystems and local wildlife. What a great way to connect with nature and create memories. Then, head to the Magnetic Island Golf Club and show those kids who the best mini-golf putter really is! View our Magnetic Island Online for some more ideas here.
Tasty Treats and Dining Delights
Don’t forget nutrition! Satisfy your cravings at The Island Bar where they serve up family-friendly dining. Those over 18 can enjoy an array of bright and refreshing cocktails. Maybe head to one of the Island’s many cafés for breakfast or lunch. With options, including vegan and gluten-free, you’ll find something to satisfy and support local producers.
Time to sleep
After all the food and adventure, nothing beats falling into a comfortable bed. What if that bed was by the beach? What a view to wake up to. Or in the forests surrounded by wildlife? Magnetic Island caters to everyone from glamping, to beachfront bungalows in Horseshoe Bay, or luxury resorts in Nelly Bay.
