Environmental Activities

Couran Cove Island Resort fits into the bush setting - with ocean all around. If you love nature and have a thirst for knowledge, our unique environmental walks, hosted by our environment guides, will introduce you to the native plants and animals that share our beautiful island.

Start the day with a Mangrove kayak tour - the perfect way to enjoy the diversity of bird species sighted on the island to date. Our Rainforest walk will guide you through a unique part of South Stradbroke Island home to ancient Cabbage Tree Palm Rainforest and a diversity of fauna.

For night owls, on Nocturnal walks through the bush you can help our guides search for bandicoots, echidnas and squirrel gliders. Or explore the wonders of the night sky on our Astronomy tour which starts with a slide show highlighting the wonders of the Milky Way galaxy, then venture outdoors to gaze at the evening sky through purpose-built Dobsonian reflecting telescopes.

We have many more exciting nature tours to introduce you to the beauty of the island. Our Activities and Tours Desk can help in planning all your holiday activities. View a sample of our Weekly Resort Activity guide. here.
