moreton island

  • Yes, it’s true! Just off Brisbane’s shore is the second largest sand island in the world, where you can easily feel like it’s just you and the untouched scenery. Crystal clear lakes and lagoons exist amongst tall sand dunes, abundant wildflowers and pristine beaches. After you’ve hand-fed the dolphins under the stars, organise a trip to dive or snorkel amongst the mysterious wrecks and colourful coral reefs. The adventurous can try quad biking, four-wheel driving or sand tobogganing before slipping into a lazy dream on the cooling beach, and watch the silhouettes of fisherman as they cast their lines into the surf in lingering twilight.
  • Make the journey part of the experience and enjoy the feeling of escaping to refresh and rejuvenate.
  • An outdoors playground just 75 minutes from Brisbane.
