Day Trips from Brisbane to Moreton Island

Explore the natural beauty and history of Moreton Island on this eco-adventure. Depart from Newport Marina and snorkel through famous wrecks teeming with vibrant marine life, then relax on white sandy beaches and swim in crystal-clear waters. Join an educational marine safari to spot dolphins, turtles, dugongs, and stingrays, while the crew shares fascinating insights. Morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea are included.

Reaching Moreton Island's clear waters and shipwrecks means a boat trip from Brisbane, easier to book as one package than pieced together. Take an all-inclusive day tour that handles the journey, then snorkel the Tangalooma Wrecks with a guide. Relax on the beach and break for a buffet lunch, watching for turtles, dolphins, and dugongs, which are often spotted in these waters.

Let’s get the music pumping and the drinks flowing, jump onboard the Epic Island Pub Crawl tour for an exciting day out and a chance to party with fellow travelers! Depart from City Botanic Gardens on the Brisbane River, in the center of Brisbane City. Enjoy an exhilarating trip on a high-speed vessel, down the river, and across magnificent Moreton Bay, full of sea life including dolphins, turtles, dugongs, stingrays, and even whales (in season). Visit two of the largest sand islands in the world – North Stradbroke Island and Moreton Island. Party at two island bars is The World Famous “Gutter Bar” and Jamie Vogler’s “Amity Tavern.” Enjoy lunch at the Amity Tavern, which is included. On the islands, you can expect koalas, kangaroos, and other wildlife in their natural habitat. There is plenty of time to swim in the crystal-clear waters of Moreton Bay, so bring your towel. Return to City Botanic Gardens at sunset where you can continue the party at your leisure.

Spend a blissful day on Moreton Island exploring the beaches, reef, and dunes on this tour from Brisbane or Surfers Paradise. Travel with an experienced guide in a rugged 4WD. You’ll snorkel or bodyboard, paddle transparent kayaks, and try sandboarding on the dunes: If sea conditions are unfavorable, take a 4WD island tour. Your day includes a picnic lunch on the beach but excludes national park fees and ferry tickets.
