If you have
gone to visit Australia for the sole purpose of sightseeing then of course
there are hundreds of places in your bucket list. There are islands, mountains,
sand dunes and of course the mile long beaches with soft white sands that looks
absolutely amazing and extremely enticing. But what if you are there for a
short visit or visiting Brisbane for some work? Well not to worry, you can
always visit the beautiful Moreton Island which is within the city limits of
Brisbane, the capital city of the state of Queensland. Unless you visit the
place you will not realize that you are so close to the nature and within a
couple of hours you can be away from the din and bustle of the city life and
enjoy the pristine beauty of Moreton Island.
Known as the
Gem of south east Queensland this happens to be the third largest sand island
in the world and a veritable paradise on earth. You can opt for sunset Safaris
one day or two day tour packages and have the time of your life. The best part
of the tour is the journey in the Mi Cat ferry which will take you across the
beautiful Moreton Bay. The ferry ride becomes all the more enjoyable with
comfortable lounge chairs where you can sit back, sip a long cool drink or
visit the bar. Those interested in photography can take some brilliant pictures
but the movement of the ferry, the vast stretch of clear blue water and the
excitement of visiting a new island can be a heady experience.
Moreton Island Tours has a lot to show you and instead of the one day quick
tour you can opt for the 2day get wrecked explorer tour and go for the night
time transparent kayaking on the Tangalooma wrecks which though is an optional
activity is something totally unique. The tourists are taken in transparent
Kayaks from where you can see under water as it gets illuminated by underwater
lights. This you can do by paying some nominal amount of money but then the
experience will be absolutely amazing. But all tour packages include a fully
guided snorkelling tour of the ship wreck site and all the gear and wet suits
will be provided by the tour guides. The sea here is a safe haven for the
marine creatures and you can see turtles, dolphins, colourful reef fishes and
not to forget corals. Swimming in the sea is fun but the champagne pools with
its naturally bubbling water is greatly enjoyed by people of all age group.
Moreton Island Holiday Packages is not just about the sea and beaches; you can
explore the desert, go for 4WD and those who love speed can try sand
tobogganing where one comes down from the top of sand dunes on a board that is
only five millimetres in thickness. With the wind blowing through your hair and
the ground rushing up to meet you as you slide from the top at a speed that can
go up to 70 kilometres per hour one can
feel the rush of adrenaline. Apart from this the tour package will also include
a visit to the Blue Lagoon, Eastern Surf beaches, Cape Moreton Lighthouse and
the museum which will tell you all about the history and about the Ngugi tribe
who used to live here before the colonization. You can see dolphins, turtles
and Manta Rays from the top of Cape Moreton and if it’s the whale season then
you can see these huge creatures swimming near the coastline.
Visitors can
stay overnight in the Castaways Beach Resort or can opt for Eco Glamping which
again is a unique combination of providing a winning combination of luxury and
camping. You can make the most of your stay with beach parties, camp fire and
down a couple of drinks with your new found friends. Even though your trip will
be short you will go back with memories that will last a life time.
