About
The Tangalooma ATV Quad Bike Day Tour combines a scenic ferry ride to Moreton Island with a guided quad bike adventure through Moreton Island’s bushland and beach tracks. Along with full access to Tangalooma Island Resort, this full-day experience offers the perfect mix of high-energy adventure and relaxed island time, making it one of the most popular ways to experience the island beyond its beaches.
The Quad Bike Tour Experience
Your day begins with a comfortable catamaran cruise across Moreton Bay to Tangalooma Island Resort, where you'll have some free island time before heading to the quad bike centre. After a comprehensive safety briefing and rider training, it's time to climb aboard your ATV and follow an experienced guide through coastal bushland and sandy terrain.
The guided ride takes you across one of Australia's longest purpose-built ATV circuits, offering an exciting way to explore parts of Moreton Island that are inaccessible on foot. Whether you're riding a quad bike for the first time or have previous experience, the guided format allows you to enjoy the adventure with confidence while taking in the island's diverse landscapes along the way.
Tangalooma Island Resort Activities
Once your quad bike adventure comes to an end, the rest of the day is yours to enjoy. Relax by the resort's swimming pools, stroll along the beach, enjoy lunch using your included resort voucher or unwind at one of the cafés and bars overlooking Moreton Bay. If you'd like to extend your visit, optional upgrades include staying later on the island to watch the famous wild dolphin feeding from the jetty, enjoying a sunset cocktail, or taking a scenic helicopter flight over Moreton Island before returning to Brisbane.
Who Is This Experience Best Suited For
This experience is perfect for adventure lovers looking to add an exciting outdoor activity to a relaxing island escape. It's particularly well suited to couples, groups of friends, families with older children who want the reassurance of a guided tour while still enjoying the freedom to ride through Moreton Island's spectacular coastal landscapes.
