Moreton Island

Just off Brisbane’s shore is the third largest sand island in the world. Crystal clear lakes and lagoons exist amongst tall sand dunes, abundant wildflowers and pristine beaches.

After you’ve hand-fed the dolphins under the stars, organise a trip to dive or snorkel amongst the mysterious wrecks and colourful coral reefs. The adventurous can try quad biking, four-wheel driving or sand tobogganing.

Three little townships on the island provide a relaxed village atmosphere with a variety of cafés and restaurants often filled with locals, surfers and sun-baked tourists.
