Selina Magnetic Island

Horseshoe Bay

The tour desk provide Magnetic Island maps, help book Great Barrier Reef tours, Museum of Underwater Art diving and snorkelling trips and local tours experiencing the fringing reef and land based adventures. Loved Selina, loved the cafe / bar common area, loved the dorm lodges which had a toilet and shower. Comfiest and nicest hostel I've stayed at for a while! A nice treat, great location too with beautiful sunsets and food/ drink/ hike options from Horseshoe Bay, plus regular bus available from right outside the Hostel. Also did candlelight yoga and a morning yoga session which I loved - other activities available too like pool tournaments, games etc. Would recommend staying here!
