A Glimpse of your Gourmet Picnic on a Remote Beach
What to Expect
Pilgrim Adventures offers the most exclusive way to experience Magnetic Island’s famously secluded bays and beaches. Enjoy a private boat transfer to a stunning remote beach in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park — your own slice of paradise for the day.
After a scenic ride along the breathtaking coastline, your personal boat chauffeur will drop you off at a pristine, often deserted beach — with our skipper doing his best to find a spot where you’ll have the beach all to yourselves. Spend two blissful hours relaxing, swimming, or exploring and savouring a gourmet picnic prepared just for you.
A Gourmet Picnic, Island-Style
Your picnic is thoughtfully prepared using fresh, local produce — including prawns, artisan cheeses, cold meats, tropical fruits, and warm baguette. It’s all served beachside, barefoot, and paired with your favourite cold drink. Dietary requirements can be accommodated at the time of booking.
Everything set up and packed away for you — so you can simply unwind and soak up the scenery.
This private four-hour experience is perfect for couples seeking romance, relaxation, and a true escape from the crowds on Magnetic Island’s most beautiful beaches.
