Itinerary

Moreton Island

In the morning, your 4WD coach picks you up from the Gold Coast or Brisbane, then travels to the ferry to Moreton Island. During the 75-minute ferry ride across Moreton Bay, take in views from the deck or cabin, keep an eye out for dolphins and other marine life. When you reach the island, your 4WD-vehicle drives along the sand to the Tangalooma Wrecks where you have several options for beachside fun. Follow your guide on a snorkeling tour of the famous shipwrecks; the 15 vessels were purposely sunk here to create a breakwall. This resulting reef is home to colorful corals, tropical fish, trevally, yellowtail, wobbegong, kingfish and more. If snorkeling doesn’t appeal to you, use the provided transparent bodyboards to paddle in search of turtles, reef fish, coral and other critters, or simply relax on the white-sand beach. After the snorkel tour, your guide serves a picnic lunch before leading a tour on transparent kayaks to explore the Tangalooma Wrecks. Stay dry as you view an amazing array of fish right below your kayak. (Please note that a 4WD tour around the island will replace the snorkeling and kayaking if conditions are unfavorable). Next, hang on tight as your driver takes your 4WD on rough inland tracks to tall sand dunes that are ideal for sandboarding, a fun, high-adrenaline activity comparable to tobogganing. It is possible to reach speeds of up to 30 mphr (50 kph) as you zip down the dunes. After sandboarding, return to the coast and enjoy a swim at Tangalooma Beach (if time allows). Then catch the ferry back to the mainland and reach Brisbane or the Gold Coast in the evening.

Kayaking with Sam was so entertaining, and all the tour leaders organized lunch so well. they even came round with cookies!! i was nervous about the sandboarding but Josh was so encouraging and made everything feel safe. i would highly recommend for anyone looking for a full day of adventure

Great day on Moreton Island!

I really enjoyed my day at Moreton Island. The tour leaders organized the large group well. Fortunately for me I was put in the group that did the activities in the order I wanted, sand boarding, kayaking and snorkelling. I did not actually do the sand boarding but went along to see the scenery and it was worth it. The kayaking and snorkelling were awesome. Even though it was Boxing Day and busy around the wrecks there was enough space for everyone and the leaders made sure we were kept safe. I would recommend you take closed shoes for the sand dunes, it was hot out there!! My only suggestion for the tour operators is to bring extra supplies of water for the guests to the sand dunes. Overall though it was a wonderful experience finishing off with a beautiful sunset as we came into Brisbane.

Great balance of adventure & fun!
