Moreton Island, located just off the coast of Brisbane, is a stunning natural paradise that offers something for every kind of person. Whether you're into beaches, wildlife, or thrilling activities, a day on Moreton Island promises unforgettable experiences. Here's how to make the most of your day on this beautiful island.
Start your morning off with a ferry ride to Tangalooma Island Resort and upon arrival watch the Pelican and Seabird Feeding at the jetty with the experienced Eco Rangers, then head straight to the Beach Café for a quick bite to eat. Choose from pizzas, burgers, seafood or salads – ask for takeaway and you can even take your food down to the beachfront for a relaxing beach picnic!
After a quick lunch at the resort or a picnic on the beach, it's time to dive into the crystal-clear waters surrounding the island. The Tangalooma Wrecks, a series of sunken ships, create an artificial reef that attracts vibrant marine life. Grab your snorkel gear from Tanga Watersports and explore this underwater wonderland, or book one of the guided tours. You’ll encounter colourful fish, wobbegongs and even sea turtles!
Trade your flippers for wheels and join one of the ATV Quad Bike Tours in the evening! The Tangalooma Quad Bike Tour is perfect for both beginners and experienced riders, as the friendly guides ensure safety and comfort throughout the journey. The ride offers panoramic views of the island’s golden beaches, clear waters, and rolling sand dunes.
As the sun begins to set, head to the Wheelhouse Deck for panoramic views of the most beautiful sunset over Moreton Bay – with a delicious cocktail in hand of course! As the sun dips below the horizon, the sky transforms into a canvas of brilliant oranges, pinks, and purples, creating an unforgettable scene. The Tangalooma sunsets are a highlight that shouldn’t be missed.
One of the most magical and unique experiences on Moreton Island is the Tangalooma Dolphin Feeding, once the sun has set. This unforgettable encounter allows you to get up close and personal with wild dolphins in their natural habitat. The licensed program is operated by the expert and qualified Eco Rangers, who educates guests on the importance of ocean conservation and protecting the marine life. The Wild Dolphin Feeding is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and the most incredible way to end a perfect day at Moreton Island.
