Moreton Island, a short ferry ride from Brisbane, is one of the largest sand islands in the world, known for sandboarding on its towering dunes and snorkeling around the Tangalooma shipwrecks.
Day Cruise
A day cruise includes ferry transport and activities like sandboarding and snorkeling around the wrecks, returning to Brisbane the same evening.
Overnight Tour
An overnight tour adds a night at Tangalooma Resort, including the popular evening wild dolphin feeding experience on the beach.
Is the Overnight Tour Worth It?
The wild dolphin feeding is a genuinely unique experience only available to overnight guests, making the extended stay worth it for wildlife-focused visitors; a day trip still covers the island’s main activities well.
