Gheebulum Kunungai (Moreton Island) Tours and Tickets

Q: How do I get to Moreton Island from Brisbane or the Gold Coast?

Passenger ferries set sail from Rivergate Marina in Brisbane and take 75 minutes to reach Bulwar Township on Moreton Island. Rivergate Marina is about a 20-minute drive east of Brisbane CBD, or you can hop on a shuttle bus from Brisbane Skytower or multiple locations along the Gold Coast.

Q: What are the top attractions or highlights of Moreton Island?

Almost all of Moreton Island is protected as a national park, so the highlights are its natural landscapes. These include white sandy beaches, wild bushland, dunes, and lagoons. Top attractions include the Champagne Pools natural swimming area, the 19th-century Cape Moreton Lighthouse, and Tangalooma Wrecks, a popular dive site.

Q: What are the accommodation options on Moreton Island?

If you want to spend the night on Moreton Island, you can choose from beachside hotels, cabin and holiday home rentals, and glamping. You can also camp at one of the beachside campgrounds or self-sufficient camping zones, which are dotted around the island.

Q: Is it possible to visit Moreton Island on a day trip from Brisbane or the Gold Coast?

Yes. With ferries from Brisbane taking 75 minutes each way, Moreton Island is an ideal day trip from Brisbane or the Gold Coast. A day tour is enough time to snorkel at Tangalooma Wrecks, take a scenic island cruise, and enjoy beach time. Full-day tours typically include lunch and shuttle transfers to the marina.

Q: What water activities can I enjoy on Moreton Island, such as snorkeling, diving, or kayaking?

As the world’s third-largest sand island, Moreton Island has plenty of beaches. Cool off with a swim at the Champagne Pools, go surfing on the East Coast, or take a kayak or paddleboard tour. Tangalooma Wrecks on the West Coast is also a popular snorkeling and scuba diving site.

Q: Are there any restrictions or rules I should be aware of when visiting Moreton Island, such as wildlife protection or camping regulations?

Yes, there are some rules to be aware of when visiting Moreton Island. You’ll need a 4WD and vehicle permit to drive or camp on the island. Campers should keep food and trash contained at campsites due to the island’s feral pigs—if you see a pig, don’t approach them as they can be aggressive.

Moreton Island... Do Everything Daytrip

Be prepared for the unexpected; we were late getting off the island and back to Brisbane due to a medical emergency forcing the ferry to turn around and go back to Brisbane. Not the fault of the tour operator at all. This comment moreso is to let others know to just be prepared. Lunch was provided and plenty of it, but we had taken extra snacks in a backpack and that did us well when the ferry was late. Overall an unforgettable day. Thank you Safari!

Busy, sunny, fun day tour

This tour is a busy and sun filled day. The 3 planned activities were fun and the food was good. The guides were amazing, great energy and fun. Downsides would be the group sizes as it can get pretty packed in the water and on the buses. The amount of travel time is high but the ferry ride is relaxing and enjoyable. A worthwhile tour if you're planning on checking out the island and want to do a few activities there as well.

10/10 incredible...

10/10 incredible experience! All the activities were so fun and made the day full and complete. Lunch was pretty good too. I saw a lot of people say get the Pink wristbands but we got Blue and it meant snorkeling and kayaking first when the currents weren’t strong. Highly recommend this trip so worth it!
