The Top Things to do in Moreton Island & Tangalooma

Looking for all the best things to do on Moreton Island / Tangalooma? It’s not every Australian capital city that can boast having an escapist island paradise just offshore, but Moreton Island – which lies 25 kilometres from Brisbane – is exactly that. Providing a cavalcade of nature-based activities and “fun in the sun” in return for relatively little investment, Moreton Island and its prominent Tangalooma Island Resort complex offer a bevy of things to do suitable for the whole family. Whether on the sand or in the water, if you’re looking for outdoor entertainment near QLD's capital, this is the place to start.

This large, lagoon-dotted and marine life-rich island is a hub for activities which can be reached via a cruise from Brisbane that can be completed in just over an hour and provides ample opportunities for wildlife spotting along the way. Located within the expansive Moreton Bay Marine Park, this is a seascape that’s home to a number of aquatic species such as dolphins, sea turtles and even dugongs that are at home in its sea grass and reef environments. As a result, when making the cruise over from Brisbane it’s not uncommon to spy the sight of pods of dolphins frolicking on – and leaping out of – the water, or the dark and ascending shadow of a sea turtle coming up for air.
