Sailing North Queensland Coast Forts Walk Magnetic Island
Welcome back aboard Moor R & R for this week's Adventure! Episode 38
Join us for another unforgettable adventure aboard Moor R & R as we continue exploring the stunning beauty of Magnetic Island before setting sail for the incredible Orpheus Island.
Our week begins with the famous Forts Walk, one of Magnetic Island's most popular hikes. Along the way, we explore the fascinating WWII fortifications and are lucky enough to spot three wild koalas in their natural habitat. We also discover the unique Wetlands Walk and Butterfly Walk, each offering a different side of this beautiful island.
After spending a week soaking up everything Magnetic Island has to offer, it's time to lift the anchor and continue our journey north to Orpheus Island. The passage couldn't have gone much better, with both of us hooking fish at exactly the same time! As if that wasn't exciting enough, we were treated to an incredible wildlife display as whales frolicked alongside the boat, followed by sightings of majestic manta rays.
Once we arrive at Orpheus Island, the adventures continue. We take the tender to visit the former Giant Clam Garden, an eco-tourism and conservation project established in the 1980s. Sadly, the giant clams were lost following the devastating floods and monsoonal rains in early 2025, but it's still a fascinating place to visit and learn about its history.
To top it all off, Gary retrieves my very first fresh coconut for me to try, and we finish the week with one of the most unforgettable experiences yet—swimming with manta rays in crystal-clear water. It truly was a magical few days and one we'll never forget.
Come along for the highs and lows of life at sea – the joy of community, the challenge of sailing, and all the fun we get up too !!!
