Moreton Island
Located in the northern part of Moreton Bay, Moreton Island is only a short boat trip from Brisbane (40km).
Moreton Island is a natural playground, with crystal clear lagoons, fresh water lakes, sandy white beaches, rugged cliffs and tall sand dunes. It is the perfect destination for whale watching, fishing, surfing, snorkeling, sand tobogganing and dolphin feeding.
Hand feed wild bottlenose dolphins as they swim into shore at Tangalooma Wild Dolphin Resort. Or you can snorkel and scuba dive amongst the famous Tangalooma wrecks to see colourful coral reefs and marine life.
Towards the northern end of the island, within Moreton Island National Park, the freshwater lake of Blue Lagoon offers year-round swimming along with a host of birdlife and wildflowers during spring - perfect for bird watching and bushwalking.
