Went over for a few days on a private boat at Xmas.....slept on the boat.

It was a bit busy....we moored at Tangalooma but did not go to the resort.

There is really not a lot else on the island unless you are into 4WD....or just want some peace and quiet although the area around the ferry is pretty busy with campers etc.

So would it be worth a day trip on a boat ?

Without a 4WD you may be a bit restricted.

Most of the day trippers seem to walk up to the resort.

we did not go there so I do not know what is available.

Sorry not more help

Hi,
my brother got married at the Tangalooma resort in 05 and we spent a week there at the time.
There was pleny to do at the resort in terms of snorkelling, swimming to the wrecks, dolphin feeding, there is a games room & bar and the resort also organises 4WD trips around Moreton Island.
So you can either stay at the resort & let them organise everything or go it alone on Moreton island in which case you will definitely need a 4WD.
Hope this helps XX

Thanks All. It seems it would be good for a few days-we love camping and 4WD but not resorts !

I liked 'Straddie'....The beach at Point-Lookout is amazing.
