Introduction

Moreton Island is a sand island almost entirely made of sand off Brisbane, the world's third-largest sand island, about 75 minutes by ferry, a resort for nature and wild dolphins. The Tangalooma Resort on the island is most famous for feeding wild bottlenose dolphins by hand in the shallow water each evening—under rangers' guidance, visitors can hand small fish to the smart, cute dolphins, warm and unforgettable. Also there are sunken-ship snorkeling, sand dune tobogganing, four-wheel-drive island tours and whale watching (seasonal). Blue sea, white sand, sand dunes, sunken ships and dolphins make Moreton Island show the natural wild fun of an island resort.
