Moreton Island Tours, Day Trips, Snorkelling Adventures & More |Things To Do - JUCY

Moreton Island is reached by boat. Most visitors take a ferry or cruise from Brisbane, and some tours also depart from the Gold Coast. The fast ferry crossing takes around 75 minutes.

One day is enough for the highlights, such as snorkelling, a dune adventure and a dolphin encounter. If you&#39;d rather slow down and see more, an overnight camping trip gives you time to explore properly.

It&#39;s a group of around 15 ships deliberately sunk off the island&#39;s west coast between the 1960s and 1980s. Over time they&#39;ve become an artificial reef full of marine life. The water is generally calm, so most confident swimmers can snorkel it, and guided tours make it easier for beginners.

Yes. The island is mostly sand with no sealed roads, so a 4WD is needed. If you drive yourself, you&#39;ll need a vehicle access permit as well. On a guided 4WD tour, the driving is done for you.

<a href="https://www.backpackerdeals.com/australia/moreton-island/snorkelling">Snorkelling Tours</a>: Slip into the calm waters off the island&#39;s west coast and swim among tropical fish, with a chance of spotting turtles and rays drifting around the submerged ships. No experience needed, and gear is usually provided by the tour operator.

<a href="https://www.backpackerdeals.com/australia/moreton-island/4wd">4WD Adventures</a>: Moreton Island has no sealed roads, so a 4WD is the way to see it. Bounce along wide beaches, bush tracks and soft sand while a guide handles the driving, and you take in the views.

<a href="https://www.backpackerdeals.com/australia/moreton-island/whale-dolphin-watching">Whale &amp; Dolphin Watching</a>: Bottlenose dolphins live in Moreton Bay all year. During the cooler months, humpback whales pass through on their migration. Guides share the stories behind the behaviour you see.

<a href="https://www.backpackerdeals.com/australia/moreton-island/kayaking">Kayaking</a>: Paddle along the shoreline at your own pace and see the island from water level. It&#39;s a quiet way to enjoy the coast and spot birdlife.

<a href="https://www.backpackerdeals.com/australia/moreton-island/surfing-sup">Surfing &amp; SUP</a>: Board sports aren&#39;t just for the dunes. The calmer bay side is good for stand-up paddleboarding, while the ocean side brings more energy for surfers.

Things to Do with Kids: Sand play, shallow swimming and wildlife encounters make Moreton Island a hit with families. Age and height limits differ by tour, so check each listing before you book.

<a href="https://www.backpackerdeals.com/australia/moreton-island/sustainable-tours">Sustainable Tours</a>: Much of the island is protected national park. If you want to travel lightly, choose small-group, low-impact tours that help look after the island&#39;s wildlife and marine life.

Fit snorkelling, dune surfing and a 4WD drive into one big day, with departures from Brisbane or the Gold Coast.
