Your Experience

Leave the city behind and dive into an unforgettable full-day escape to Moreton Island, where sun, sea, and sand come together in an epic island adventure.

Getting started

Your journey begins with easy coach transfers from Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast. Once you arrive at the Port of Brisbane, board your ferry and cruise through the calm waters of Moreton Bay to reach Australia’s third-largest sand island. After a warm welcome from your English-speaking guide and a brief orientation, you'll be all set to explore the wild beauty of Moreton Island.

What to expect

From transparent kayaking and snorkelling around sunken wrecks to roaring through sandy trails in a 4WD and racing down dunes on a sandboard, this experience serves up a perfect mix of adventure and natural wonder. With expert guides leading every step, you're in for a safe, fun-filled day of discovering Moreton Island’s best-kept secrets.

Features

  • Guided snorkeling tour: Witness the magic below the surface as you explore the coral-covered Tangalooma Wrecks, home to colorful marine life and fascinating underwater structures. Snorkeling gear and safety vests are fully provided.
  • Glass-bottom kayak tour: Glide over clear waters in a see-through kayak and keep your eyes peeled for tropical fish and coral gardens beneath. Your guide will point out marine highlights along the way.
  • 4WD desert safari with sandboarding: Bounce into the island’s sandy interior in a 4WD vehicle, then hit the dunes for a high-speed sandboarding session. It’s messy, exhilarating fun in one of the island’s most stunning landscapes.
  • Meals: Recharge with a freshly prepared picnic lunch served on the island, with vegetarian, vegan, and seafood options available.
  • Gold Coast transfers: You'll get convenient coach pickups from the Mantra on View Hotel in the Gold Coast to the Port of Brisbane for ferry departure.
