Moreton Island

Escape to the untouched paradise of Moreton Island, Queensland’s largest sand island and a true natural wonder just 75 minutes from Brisbane by ferry, where the endless golden dunes of the Desert (Big Sandhills) invite thrilling sand-tobogganing and 4WD adventures, the crystal-clear Blue Lagoon glows an unreal turquoise in the middle of the island for swimming and snorkeling, and Tangalooma’s famous shipwrecks—15 deliberately sunk vessels—create one of the world’s most accessible and spectacular shore-dive sites teeming with tropical fish, rays, and playful dolphins.

Hand-feed wild bottlenose dolphins at Tangalooma Island Resort every evening as they glide into the shallows, snorkel vibrant coral gardens, hike to the Cape Moreton Lighthouse (the oldest on Queensland’s coast) for panoramic views over the Pacific, or simply relax on remote beaches like The Desert or Champagne Pools with their natural rock pools and champagne-like bubbles—all in a car-free (4WD only) island that perfectly balances raw natural adventure, marine life encounters, and the peaceful silence of a place where the only footprints are yours.

Savor fresh seafood barbecues, chilled Queensland craft beers, and sunset picnics on the beach amid gentle waves, starry skies, and the unmistakable sense of standing on one of Australia’s last true wilderness islands.

Moreton Island isn’t just a destination—it’s Queensland’s purest sand-and-sea escape of dunes, dolphins, and untouched beauty—plan your Moreton Island adventure today!
