Brisbane boasts neat urban planning, distinctive architecture, friendly residents, vibrant outdoor activities, and a laid-back, healthy lifestyle, creating an incredibly charming waterfront cityscape and earning the reputation as the "City of Sunshine." Moreton Island is shaped like a dolphin, hence also known as Dolphin Island. The island features pristine natural landscapes, beautiful coastlines, fine white sands, and a unique ecosystem of wildlife, and is world-renowned for the opportunity to feed wild dolphins.

About fifty years ago, Moreton Island was home to Australia’s largest whaling station. Now, it offers the chance to closely observe massive humpback whales leaping freely out of the water. In addition to its thrilling activities and the charm of whales and dolphins, the island also presents naturally unique landscapes, dense virgin forests, and enchanting sunset views on the beach — each scene leaves a deep and unforgettable impression. It's perfect for family trips, couples, and friends seeking a unique and awe-inspiring experience.

Not only is the scenery beautiful, but the opportunity to "feed wild dolphins by hand" is the main reason most visitors come to Moreton Island. Wait for the wild dolphins that swim in from the open sea to the shallow areas, and under the guidance of conservationists, have the closest feeding interaction with these adorable dolphins. This is an unforgettable experience, ideal for families, educating about dolphin conservation, and strengthening family bonds.

In addition, visitors to Moreton Island must not miss out on wreck snorkeling, sandboarding, and ATV quad biking experiences. The island is home to the famous Tangalooma Wrecks, where the remains of 15 shipwrecks now serve as habitats for various fish and coral. Aside from getting up close to the spectacular sight of the wrecks, you can also swim among colorful schools of fish in the ocean — a truly unique travel experience.
