Moreton Island

We were up early and heading to Brisbane port all before 7:30am. We’d already walked Toby over the park overlooking the river.

We took the ferry over to Moreton Island. We thought we’d done well with our seats up top and ready to spot some dolphins until a heap of French people decided to stand right in front of us. 

After the hour long journey, we arrived in paradise. Whilst we were waiting to get off the boat, I saw s sea turtle pop it’s head up to welcome us. 



Our first activity was sandboarding. I’d never tried it before so it was a bit scary. After a 25 minute bumpy ride into the ‘desert’, we then climbed these huge sand dunes to then slide face first down to bottom. It was pretty scary!!





After a quick lunch on the beach, it was time for our next activity, kayaking. We had these amazing clear plastic kayaks and paddled over shipwrecks. 

The current was pretty tough but we did well and had a blast. It wasn’t the first time Vicki and I had kayaked before so we felt like pros. 





By this point it was definitely time to cool off and snorkel. We had to wear wetsuits as we were snorkelling over the shipwreck sndparts were pretty sharp. 

We had to pulled out to the wreks on a jetski. This was pretty scary as there were 12 of us holding onto a boogie board whilst being pulled out. The current and jet ski pull made it pretty hard. 

We had been told there was so much to see such as sting rays and even a sea cow. We saw plenty of fish (and not the dating app) but sadly nothing too exciting. 







After all a hectic day, it was time to head back on the ferry. It was such a cool day exploring Moreton island. I found out it is the second largest sand island in the World. 

I’ve had such a great time in Brisbane already and there’s still plenty more to discover thanks to my lovely tour guide.
