About Us
North Stradbroke Island is a pristine, secluded island paradise – a hidden treasure only an hour from central Brisbane.
Opened in 1992, Manta Lodge and Stradbroke Island Scuba Centre is the island’s only 5 star PADI dive centre. Located right on the beach at beautiful Point Lookout, we run a full service 5 Star PADI dive resort offering daily scuba dive and snorkel trips, all levels of scuba instruction and quality budget beachfront accommodation.
Come and enjoy the many amazing sights the island has to offer such as snorkelling or diving in our magnificent underwater playgrounds, see the natural beauty of the island on an exciting 4-Wheel-Drive tour, get up close and personal with local wildlife, go surfing, kayaking, sandboarding or fishing or simply relax on our pristine, empty beaches.
Visit Manta Lodge and Scuba Centre and let our friendly, professional and experienced staff show you the magic of Straddie! Both above and below the water.
