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.

great guides and shipwreck experience

just wanted to give an extra shoutout to Will, who was such a great tour guide throughout the snorkeling tour. so so glad he helped us film the sea turtle and the wabigoon shark with the gopro and airdropped to everyone in the tour - truly such a unique experience. when some of the other guides had missed us in the explaining, he came over and also gave us a detailed rundown of everything :) lunch was also great a lot better than i expected with lots of ingredients to go around for everyone

Good island experience with knowledgeable guides

Good experience to see most of the Island with guides who know the area. There were non swimmers in our group snorkelling which tainted the experience a bit as we couldn't explore as much until they were tended to. Not a fault of the provider though, but should be checked OR honestly answered at the begining of the day.

A truly perfect day! All...

A truly perfect day! All the staff and guides were enthusiastic and patient. They prepared everything we needed and provided detailed explanations. Especially during the snorkeling session, Jacob and Gabriel were attentive to those who couldn’t swim. Every aspect of the entire trip was absolutely perfect and left us feeling truly delighted. A huge thank you to everyone for their hard work.
