About The Site
What The Site Is
Magnetic Island Sunset Cruises is an independent comparison site, published at magneticislandsunsetcruises.com. It exists to answer one practical question: which sunset, twilight or full-moon sail out of Magnetic Island suits you, and what does each one cost and include? The site is not a tour operator, holds no bookings and takes no payments. It researches the tours, lays out the differences and links out to the booking pages.
What It Covers
Seven tours sit in the comparison. Three are sunset and twilight sails, and these lead the site. Four are boat days that round out a Magnetic Island stay: lunchtime and full-day sailing, snorkelling and a circumnavigation. Six of the seven depart Nelly Bay on the island. One departs Townsville. Prices start at $78.58 USD per person for the cheapest sunset product and reach $199.95 for the dearest tour overall.
How Data Is Gathered
Tour facts, prices, ratings and review counts are read from the booking pages and refreshed when those pages change. Sunset, moonrise and golden hour times are not copied from anywhere: they are computed for Nelly Bay from astronomical calculations, which is how the site can show how moonrise lines up with the operator's full-moon sail dates. Ferry facts come from the ferry operator's published pages. Where a fact rests on a single operator's wording, the site treats it softly rather than as settled.
How It Earns Money
Affiliate commissions. When you click a tour link and book, the booking platform pays the site a small amount at no extra cost to you. The disclosure page spells this out. No sponsorship, no paid placement and no operator pays to appear or to rank higher.
What It Does Not Do
It does not run tours, sell tickets, take payments or touch your booking in any way. It does not publish personal experience, because there is none to publish: the voice is research and reporting, not reviews of trips taken. It does not promise a visible sunset, a full moon, wildlife or any particular sailing, and it does not state departure times it cannot stand behind.
