Moreton Island
Activities Australia is one of the finest destinations
for those looking for some fun and excitement in their lives. This beautiful
sandy island is within the city limits of Brisbane, capital city of Queensland
and thus extremely approachable. For those living in the nearby areas this is a
perfect getaway during the weekends and for those passing by it can be a day
trip. But if you have some time in hand then you can opt for one of the 2 day
tour packages offered by Sunset Safaris. Known as a People’s choice company
this tour operators are highly recommended by trip advisor and after comparing
the package details with others you will realize why they are considered to be
the best in this region.
This sand island was initially the home of the Ngugi
tribes and you can see the numerous shell middens which is indicative of
aboriginal occupation. Though it was explorer James Cook who sailed by this
island for the first time; the island was named by Matthew Flinders. Almost the
entire island is contained within the Moreton Island National Park and is managed
by Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service. This is one of the major reasons why
it has retained its natural beauty and has been protected against any kind of
abuse; in spite of being a sought after travel destination. Though it has a
sandy terrain there is no dearth of greenery and in fact it’s a great place for
snorkelling, hiking, sand tobogganing, whale watching and fishing.
The 2 day explorer tour package is quite comprehensive
and the professional tour guides of Sunset Safaris make sure that you utilise
each and every minute of your time doing some fun activities or exploring the
places there. The journey to your destination will start with a beautiful
cruise across the Moreton Bay on an air conditioned MiCat ferry. There will be
a well stocked up bar and cafe at your disposal and sitting down to enjoy a
drink and enjoy the scenic beauty can kick start your adventure. This can be
the perfect time to know other people in the group and once you reach your
destination things will start happening from the word go. To take the people
across the sandy terrain the tour company has comfortable 4WD transports which
are extremely comfortable and ideally suited for the terrain. Some of the most important and must see
places in the island include:
·
Cape Moreton Lighthouse and Museum
·
The magnificent Eastern Surf Beach great
for 4WD
·
Tangalooma shipwreck site
·
Mt Tempest, the biggest sand dune on the
island
·
Honeymoon Bay and North Point
The visitors coming here enjoy swimming in the
bubbling waters of the champagne pools, swimming and snorkelling in the crystal
clear waters near the Tangalooma shipwreck site. Here you will discover the
beauty of the colourful corals, swim along the thousands of reef fishes,
turtles, dolphins and dugongs. For those who don’t relish the idea of going
under water there are transparent kayaks. But not everything will be under
water; you will also get a chance to do sand tobogganing which can be equally
fun and is suitable for people of all age groups. During the whaling season the
tourists get a chance to see the magnificent Humpback whales but nevertheless
you will see plenty of marine life from Cape Moreton. The island adventure will
not be over without the night kayaking near the ship wreck site and though it
is an optional activity it is not to be missed. Tourists are taken in
transparent kayaks in the night with underwater lights bathing everything in an
eerie light and the whole place looks absolutely amazing.

planning a trip then opt for a 2 day package to Moreton Island or combine it
with Fraser Island or the Great Barrier Reefs to have a glorious time.
