I used public transportation, and did my entire trip to Magnetic Island using the buses. A one-way ticket on Magnetic Island costs $2.50, while an all-day bus ticket costs $4.80. You can only pay for the buses with cash, so if you are planning on using the buses on Magnetic Island be sure to get cash out beforehand!!.
