Just a short ferry ride from Brisbane, Moreton Island is pure adventure and natural beauty rolled into one. The highlight has to be the Tangalooma Wrecks — a cluster of old ships deliberately sunk to form a reef that’s now home to incredible marine life. It’s one of the best spots to snorkel in Queensland, with crystal-clear water and fish gliding between the rusting hulls.

Beyond the reef, the island is full of surprises — massive sand dunes to climb, quiet beaches to explore, and a drive up to the Cape Moreton Lighthouse for sweeping ocean views. From up there, you can often spot turtles, dolphins, and even whales during the right season. Moreton Island is the perfect blend of relaxation and exploration.
