There are so many wonderful snorkeling and diving spots on Magnetic Island, you could say your in snorkel ling heaven !
The most popular spot being at Geoffrey Bay, for diving fans one can seek out the wreck of Moltke which sank in the 1900's. It's located approx 100metres off shore, I'm sure any of the locals will point the spot out to you.

If you want to hold and cuddle a Koala then just visit Bungalow Bay Koala Village located at 40 Horseshoe Bay. This is a fab place to take the kids or if you have never experienced holding a Koala or snake, then hop into the Koala Village. Its very touristy but well worth a visit for some serious fun.
There are 3 daily shows 10am-12noon, 12-2pm, 2:30pm - 4.30pm
Magnetic island is a very strange island, in fact there are lot of youth but there is not night life.
during the day is a good idea rent a motorbike and go around.
there are no many place to sleep.
