Moreton Bay And Islands Overview

Many travelers heading north to Cairns or south toward the Gold Coast bypass beautiful, relaxed Moreton Bay and its islands; don’t make the same mistake. The perpetually laid-back lifestyle of Manly is only a mere 35min. from Brisbane, at the mouth of the Brisbane River. North Stradbroke Island and Moreton Island are idyllic sites, offering diving, hiking, whale- and dolphin-watching, and swimming. Ferries run to the islands daily; several travel companies and hostels offer package deals that include transportation.
