Itinerary

Day 1

DAY 1

ISLAND ARRIVAL, BEACH DRIVES & CAMPFIRE NIGHTS ✦

MEET YOUR CREW

Meet your fellow travellers at the Moreton Island Adventures vehicle ferry (East Brisbane) for the crossing to Moreton Island/Mulgumpin. Get to know everyone and hear what’s ahead during your briefing, before arriving on the island and receiving an introduction to your 4x4 vehicles. Share the driving as part of our guided convoy, or enjoy the views as passenger princess. ✦

BEACH DRIVING & CAMP SETUP

Follow the convoy north along Western Beach and sandy inland tracks, getting a feel for island driving as you go. Set up camp together at our private beachfront campsite and stop for a quick breakfast then head out for the day ahead. ✦

CAPE MORETON LIGHTHOUSE

Head to Cape Moreton Lighthouse for a walk up to the coastal viewpoints. Take in the sweeping ocean views and keep watch for dolphins, turtles and migrating whales. The migratory corridor of humpback whales is closer to shore here and at Point Lookout (North Stradbroke Island) than anywhere else in the world! Take your time here and take in the sheer beauty of Australia’s marine life. ✦

NORTH POINT, HONEYMOON BAY & CHAMPAGNE POOLS

Next we will take a drive to the island’s northern tip, from the ocean views at North Point to the sandy cove of Honeymoon Bay. Take a short coastal walk, enjoy the scenery and stop at Champagne Pools, where waves spill over the rocks into natural seawater pools. We will spend plenty of time here to relax, take photos, enjoy a dip when sea conditions are suitable and set up some more beach games. ✦

DINNER, CAMPFIRE & MOVIE NIGHT

Return to camp for an evening of cooking together, music and games. After dinner, get comfortable for a movie at our outdoor cinema beneath the stars. Stay up by the fire chatting with the crew or take a quiet moment by the beach to enjoy the island night sky before heading to your tent.

DAY 2

TANGALOOMA WRECKS & BEACH TIME ✦

BREAKFAST & PACK DOWN

Enjoy breakfast and a coffee together with a chill morning around camp, then pack down, tidy the site and load the 4WDs. Set off in convoy for a day by the beach. ✦

TANGALOOMA WRECKS

Spend your second day on the island at the Tangalooma Wrecks. Spend time on the beach, enjoy lunch with the crew and explore the shoreline. Fancy a closer look? Go snorkelling among the sunken ship wrecks, keeping an eye out for tropical fish, turtles and other beautiful marine life. ✦

BEACH LUNCH & VOLLEYBALL

Stay by the Tangalooma Wrecks for lunch on the beach and a game of volleyball. Spend the afternoon playing on the sand, relaxing beside the water and getting some group photos before it’s time to board the ferry. ✦

BACK TO BRISBANE

Board the vehicle ferry and settle in for the crossing back to the mainland. Swap photos, share your favourite moments and make plans to catch up with the friends you’ve made along the way.

Good to know

Please note: Before departure, every participant must confirm they have Medicare or provide suitable private or travel insurance details. The island can be hot by day and cold by night, please pack for both by bringing swimmers and light clothes but also jumpers and sweatpants for the evenings Facilities are basic on the island. We have a compostable toilet and a basic shower at the campsite but will be visiting more substantive amenities away from our camp each morning and evening. If you need to use the composting toilet at camp it'll be your responsibility to empty your waste. We generally ask everyone to arrive at the MICAT ferry in Brisbane at 7AM on the date of departure and will board the 15:00 ferry back on the final day of your trip. Please be aware that these timings may be flexible as the ferry times may change due to sea and weather conditions or for other reasons outside of our control.
