However, before visiting the island, make sure you have a book on all the activities like diving, snorkelling, sand tobogganing, bird watching, dolphin feeding, etc on prior. If you are wondering; how you will plan your camping session; then here are the details of the things that you can enjoy while your stay in Moreton Island.

1. Snorkel:

Do you know in 1963, 15 vessels were sunk in the sea of Moreton Island to make a break wall for the small boats? During the last 50 years, those rusty ships have become a great attraction for amateur as well as professional snorkels. The reason is that those ships have become the house of colourful corals and tropical fishes. The lucky snorkelers can witness turtles as well.

2. Whale Watching:

Moreton Island is a haven for humpback whales. These majestic creature creatures migrate by the island from June to November. You can enjoy the cruise ride exclusively for whale watching during those months. Otherwise, you can enjoy the view of dolphins, sharks and turtles all year-round.

3. Dolphin Feeding:

It is one of the main attractions of the Moreton Island Camping. This evening activity is very popular among the tourists. On the jetties and beaches, the wild dolphins visit every day to get food from the visitors.

4. Sand Tobogganing:

This sand island is the ideal place for experiencing sand tobogganing. You will find sand everywhere on this island. So, it is the right idea to get the best of it. Sand tobogganing is an exciting activity for many people. If you are one of them then just find the right sand dune, prepare your wooden board by waxing and start the tobogganing from the edge. In Moreton, you can reach up to 60km/h.

5. Mt Tempest:Mt Tempest is the tallest mountain on the island. As it is made of sand; it is really tricky to climb up. However, once you reach the top, you will be awarded the breathtaking 360-degree view of the island, sea and a wide area covering Gold coast to Sunshine coast. On average, it will take around 2 hours for the round trip of 2.5 walking track.

6. Blue Lagoon:

The natural rainwater forms a beautiful blue lagoon which is located at the centre of the island. The sand-bottomed lake is the source of fresh water which is naturally infused with tea tree oil. It is an excellent spot for travellers to cool off during their camping.

So, if you are looking forward to Moreton Island Camping, then these activities will help you to make some great memories for a lifetime.
