Overview

Discover the side of Maggie that few people see on our 3.5-hour guided West Coast Eco Adventure. Take a slow, scenic bus ride to explore pristine beaches, mangroves, waterfalls (in season), ancient rock formations, and rare conservation hotspots.

Guided by our accredited expert, this eco-enriched exploration showcases diverse wildlife, Indigenous history, and World Heritage highlights.

Designed as a relaxing wander, the tour includes a drop-down bus step for easier boarding and 2 to 3 short, low-impact walks along creek lines, salt marshes, and West Point beach.

Enjoy a fresh, seasonal morning tea featuring tea, coffee, or juice paired with a fruit platter and sweet treats, amidst the island’s natural beauty at West Point.
