Program details
Cruise across majestic Moreton Bay to Moreton Island and drive a 4WD off the ferry directly on to the beach. Moreton is the world’s third largest sand island of which 95% is a protected National Park. With no sealed roads, a 4WD is the only mode of transport.
First, we travel along the western side through the village of Bulwer. Travelling further north, we visit Heath Island (tides permitting) a tidal lake system that features wading birds, soldier crabs and other marine life. Then head to Five Hills Lookout to enjoy views of the Glass House Mountains and Heath Island. Next on the agenda are boogie boarding and body surfing at Yellow Patch and North Point beaches. Explore the tidal pools and take a walk to Honeymoon Bay, a spectacular secluded beach surrounded by rocky headland.
After a delicious picnic lunch, we are off to Cape Moreton Lighthouse and Information centre. This imposing rock Headland is 80 metres above sea level and gives us commanding views across all of Moreton Island and the beautiful Glass House Mountains. Look out to sea and spot dolphins, turtles and whales (June-October): Moreton is also home to hundreds of bird species. The last stop is Blue Lagoon, one of Moreton's beautiful fresh water lakes. Once rejuvenated, we pick up again our journey along the picturesque Open Beach, with 38 kilometres of uninterrupted surf beach and we finally board the ferry for our beautiful cruise home. What a day!
