Frequently Asked Questions About Brisbane Tours
What is there to do in Brisbane in one day?
South Bank, the Kangaroo Point cliffs, Mt Coot-tha lookout and Fortitude Valley cover the city. If you have a full day, most people leave the city for Moreton Island, Stradbroke or the Sunshine Coast hinterland instead.
When is the best time to visit Moreton Island?
September to November and March to May: warm water, mild air and calmer crossings. Whale season runs June to October, when humpbacks pass on their migration. Summer is hot and humid with afternoon storms. Winter is dry, clear and the water is still swimmable at around 20 degrees.
Can you see whales and dolphins at Moreton Island?
Wild bottlenose dolphins gather at Tangalooma most evenings and the Dolphin Viewing cruise ($209) is built around that. Humpback whales pass Moreton Bay between June and October and are regularly seen from the crossing. Neither is guaranteed; they are wild animals on their own schedule.
Moreton Island or North Stradbroke, which should I pick?
Moreton ($99 or $209) is sand, shipwrecks to snorkel, resort facilities and the dolphins. Stradbroke ($189) is beaches, headland walks at Point Lookout, Brown Lake and a better chance of seeing whales and turtles from the cliffs. Moreton for activities, Straddie for walking and quiet.
Can you snorkel the Tangalooma wrecks?
Yes. Fifteen ships were deliberately sunk off Tangalooma to make a breakwall, and they now sit in shallow, sheltered water full of fish. It is one of the easiest wreck snorkels in the country because you can reach it from the beach.
Does Brisbane have a Chinatown?
Yes, in Fortitude Valley, centred on the Duncan Street mall with its ceremonial gates and lion statues. It is a short walk from the city centre and busiest for yum cha on weekends and during Lunar New Year.
How do you get to Fraser Island (K'gari) from Brisbane?
There is no day tour from Brisbane; K’gari is about 250 kilometres north and needs a departure from the Sunshine Coast, Rainbow Beach or Hervey Bay. Plan it as an overnight trip or travel north first. Our K’gari tours depart from those three points.
What is the Desert Safari on Moreton Island?
The Desert Safari is a 4WD experience through the island’s inland sand dunes, with the opportunity to try sand tobogganing. It’s available as an add-on on our 1-day Moreton Island Tour and is also included as an activity on our 1-day Moreton Island Cruise with Dolphin Viewing.
What should I bring for the island day trips?
Swimmers, a towel, sunscreen, a hat and a change of clothes. Closed shoes if you are doing the Stradbroke headland walk. The ferry deck is windy in winter, so bring a jacket even on a warm Brisbane morning.
