Great trip but buy at the Terminal.

Enjoyed a comfortable ride to Magetic Island. Just be careful where you book it. It is cheaper to buy at the ferryterminal if you have a concession card. I was worried about not getting on to get to the tour I booked so bought it through here with the 10 percent voucher I was sent. Would have saved half the fare buying on a concession at the terminal. Plenty of seats despite being Good Friday. No where on line could I find ferry fares or a timetable. This is an oversight that should be fixed as not everyone is a local.
Terrific sea ferry ride to Magnetic Island.

This is a beautiful island and just the ferry ride alone makes it worth while! The ferry terminal is easy to find and the organisation good. Only thing to remember is to get your voucher converted to a ticket before you board! I had not realised that t here is a quite a decent population living on the island all year round. However this does not really detract from the beauty or the various beaches available. There are local buses that go around the island which makes it easy to see for yourself. You could get on and off as you wish however we only had a half day so stayed on the bus. There are 2 routes so if you do both you cover the whole island. We had a swim at one of the many beaches and it was so warm it was like getting into a warm bath! Lots of nice places to eat and socialise. I saw a backpacker type accomodation but no hotels although I am sure there is other accomodation. I would love to stay for a few nights and if you felt the need to see the big city it is a short ferry ride to the mainland and back. Best of both worlds!
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
