ADVENTURE: ISLAND STYLE
Jet Skiing island style
Water sports are popular all year round.
Plunge into the tranquil waters, or snorkel
along the fringing reef and explore the
island snorkelling trails. Go on a scuba
dive tour to discover the marine life -
it’s a great way to see the tropical fish
and coral reefs. See the splendour of
the dolphins, turtles, and sea eagles
by taking out a paddle board or a jet
ski. Water ski around the island or hire
a yacht and sail through the secluded
waters.
You can go horse riding on the beach at
Horseshoe Bay or for the ultimate views
try skydiving over the island. And when
the sun goes down you can still enjoy the
beaches. Every month there’s a Full Moon
beach party.
Take in the natural wonder of the island
and tour around by bus or taxi. For the

off the beaten track with a 4WD drive
tour. There are also 25 kilometres of
