This is a private tour ! These ‘jewels of Moreton Bay’ are known for their natural beauty, peaceful lifestyle and fascinating histories. They are also home to a vibrant arts community with many local artists drawing inspiration from their idyllic surroundings. Each of the islands are different and have their own energy and vibe. I want visitors to see the nature, to meet some of the local artists, and to experience each of the islands.

Inclusions: morning & afternoon tea provided with vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, optional yoga / meditation on Lamb Island if time & interest

Exclusions: Ferry cost from and to Redland Bay is NOT INCLUDED in tour price. Visitors to pay via Go-card/cash.

A great day out. We visited a bunch of places, from back yard pottery studio, to wood carving studio, to jewellery, art studio, a great and interesting variety of places and people. We walked the beach and some back roads. Brunch and lunch were delightful and the workshop was great fun. Definitely recommend this trip.

Great experience with lots of naturally beautiful scenery. Although it rained it didn’t really interfere with the experience and the tour guide has back up plans. Lots of learnings taught by the guide the entire trip. Plenty of amenities along the way. Highly recommend.
