Moreton Island

Ferries depart from Holt Street Wharf in Pinkenba, around 20 minutes from Brisbane CBD. The crossing takes approximately 75 minutes. Our Moreton Island tours include return ferry transfers, so you just need to get yourself to the wharf.

A day trip is enough to hit the highlights – sandboarding, snorkelling the Tangalooma wrecks, and beach time. If you want to add dolphin feeding or explore more of the island, consider an overnight stay.

If you’re exploring independently, yes – Moreton Island has no sealed roads and 4WD is essential. However, our guided tours handle all transport, so you don’t need any 4WD experience or vehicle permits.

Absolutely. The island has calm, crystal-clear waters perfect for swimming, snorkelling, and paddling. The western side near Tangalooma is particularly sheltered and ideal for a dip.

Moreton Island is brilliant year-round. Summer (December-February) offers warm water for swimming and snorkelling, while winter (June-August) is prime whale-watching season. Shoulder seasons mean fewer crowds and still-great weather.

Yes! Wild bottlenose dolphins visit Tangalooma shores each evening, and you can hand-feed them under supervision. It’s a ticketed experience and one of the most unique wildlife encounters on the East Coast.

100%. Day trips from Brisbane are budget-friendly, and the island offers experiences you won’t find anywhere else on the East Coast. It’s the perfect adventure between Brisbane and your next stop north or south.
