Sand dunes, shipwrecks and sparkly beaches.
Standing proud as one of the world’s largest sand islands, Moreton Island is one of mother nature’s greatest achievements and remains today much the same as thousands of years ago.
Enjoy the once-in-a-lifetime experience of getting in the water and hand feeding wild dolphins! It’s an incredible experience you’re sure to remember long after your cruise is over.
Take a bird’s eye view of the full 186 square kilometres of Moreton Island on a 6 minute Heli-adventure. It’s one of the most exciting ways to experience this unforgettable place.
Explore one of Australia’s best snorkelling locations. Set amongst 15 dramatic ship wrecks you’ll encounter a huge range of tropical reef fish, brightly coloured coral and inquisitive marine life.
Discover the incredible nature, history and amazing scenery of Moreton Island including Honeymoon Bay, Champagne Pools, the 37km long Ocean Beach and Cape Moreton Light.
Set out and explore Moreton Island on a glass bottom barge-style boat. Take in the amazing scenery above the water while keeping an eye out for the incredible marine life below the water.
