Moreton Island
Moreton Island lies off the southeast coast of Queensland, Australia, across Moreton Bay from Brisbane. It is the 3rd largest sand island in the world, and the vast majority of the island is designated as a national park. Because wild dolphins swim near the shore all year round, it has an affectionate nickname among Chinese-speaking tourists—"Dolphin Island." The Tangalooma resort on the west side of the island is named after the local language, meaning "place where fish gather," a name that still holds true today: at sunset, wild bottlenose dolphins swim to the jetty, following the lights, to wait for feeding. Resort guests can hand-feed the fish under the guidance of staff, and it is just as moving for onlookers standing on the jetty. In the morning, pelicans and cormorants arrive on the beach right on time to beg for breakfast. Beneath the water to the north of the resort lies a row of shipwrecks. These old ships, which were sunk successively in the last century, are now covered in coral and teeming with fish, making them a natural paradise for snorkeling enthusiasts. Interestingly, the site of the resort was once a whaling station, and the platform used to process whales back then still remains between the beach and the guest rooms. Every year, humpback whales migrate along the east coast of Australia and pass by the northern tip of the island; if you go out to sea, you have a chance to see them breaching and spouting water. Cape Moreton Lighthouse, at the northern end of the island, is one of the oldest surviving lighthouses in Queensland. The Blue Lagoon, surrounded by sand dunes, is a natural freshwater lake with crystal-clear water. It offers a quiet contrast to the vast ocean beach stretching along the east side of the island, each with its own unique charm. The island's signature experience is sandboarding: the interior of the sand island hides vast, exposed sand dunes. You need to transfer to a large 4WD vehicle and bump along deep ruts to reach them. Then, place the board under you, hold on tight, and dive down from the top of the steep sand slope, with sand waves hitting your face and a great sense of speed. You can reach the island in just over an hour by high-speed ferry from Brisbane. Activities such as snorkeling, scuba diving, sea fishing, sailing, and bushwalking are all available. It is worth setting aside 1 or 2 days to slowly experience the wild charm of this island, which is made almost entirely of sand.Australia · Moreton Island

Because there are many wild dolphins, Moreton Island is also called "Dolphin Island". It is located on the southeast coast of Brisbane and is the third largest sand island in the world. The beauty here is extraordinary, and even Jay Chou spent his honeymoon here. In 2006, Moreton Island won the honor of "Australia's Purest Beach". There is also the world's highest sand dune Tempest here. 2. The island is full of rippling blue waves, silver sand, and swaying brown shadows. It can be said that the environment is very beautiful. There are not many people, and the natural environment is particularly superior. Whales, dolphins, and seabirds can be seen everywhere. What is fun on Muna Island? Feeding dolphins: In the evening, wild dolphins will habitually swim to the pier and wait for tourists to feed them. 2 Sand skiing: Slide down from Tempest, the highest sand dune in the inland of Moreton Island, and experience the excitement of rushing down from the high sand dunes. ③ Marine activities: There are many entertainment activities such as helicopter sightseeing, paragliding, and surfing. 4 Snorkeling: Take a diving trip near the shipwreck on Moreton Island.
Get up close and personal with colorful fish, corals and other marine life in the clear water.
