Moreton Island Day Trip

After an early start, meet at the Mantra on View Hotel to board the bus for the hour's drive to the Port of Brisbane. Upon arrival at the port, a ferry awaits for a 75-minute boat trip to Moreton Island. As you depart, take in the beauty of Moreton Bay and the Coral Sea.

Once on Moreton Island, enjoy a day filled with activities. Moreton, the third largest sand island globally, features paradise beaches for relaxation and numerous opportunities to explore its natural beauty. Engage in a snorkelling tour to swim with marine life and discover the Tangalooma shipwrecks via a transparent kayak. You can also experience sand toboggans to surf down dunes and ride in a specially adapted 4x4 across the beaches. A picnic lunch will be provided for you to make your own sandwiches.

After a day of activities, return to the ferry for the ride back to Brisbane and a transfer to the Gold Coast, completing the excursion approximately 13 hours later.
