The only tour of Magnetic Island's West Coast. Very few people get to Take a Ride on the Wild Side. Treat yourself and explore the undeveloped and protected West Coast of Maggie, in a 4WD air-conditioned bus.

Take a ride on the wild side and explore the secluded, undeveloped west coast of Magnetic Island! MI Ride Discovery Tours offers exclusive all-terrain bus adventures into parts of "Maggie" that few visitors ever get to experience.
