Moreton Bay

Trade the Every Day for Moreton Bay

Just beyond Brisbane's doorstep lies a coastline that trades city noise for open water, island trails and hinterland hideaways. Moreton Bay is that rare kind of destination: close enough for a spontaneous escape, yet worlds away from the everyday.

Spend your morning kayaking crystal-clear bays, then drift into an afternoon of golden sand and salt air on one of the region's untouched islands. Head inland and the pace shifts again, rolling hinterland hills, boutique wineries, farm-gate produce and misty lookouts waiting to be discovered.

Whether you're after a family adventure filled with wildlife encounters and beach days, a slow-paced couple's retreat among nature and good food, or a last-minute day trip that feels like a proper holiday, Moreton Bay delivers it all.

Bribie Island is the only Queensland island you can reach by bridge, no ferry required. It offers the perfect blend of adventure, relaxation and natural beauty, from unspoiled beaches to charming coastal villages.

Explore with ease through a range of guided & self-guided tours and experiences, from 4WD beach adventures and eco tours to kayaking, boating and wildlife encounters. Whether you want an action packed day outdoors or a relaxed guided experience, there's a way to discover the island from every angle.

The food and drink scene is just as laid back, with waterfront venues, local cafés and family friendly eateries serving up flavour with island views. Whether it's coffee, a long lunch or a bite after a day outdoors, Bribie Island has a warm spot waiting for you.

Escape to the lush green landscapes of the Moreton Bay Hinterland, where rolling hills, charming villages and breathtaking natural beauty await, just a short drive from Brisbane. Perfect for outdoor adventurers, fresh produce lovers and anyone seeking a peaceful retreat, this region reveals a slower, richer side of the coast, with guided tours, historic attractions, heritage towns and creative galleries where stories and local makers come together.

There's an experience to suit every mood, from stepping into a world of magic at Samford's Store of Requirement to hands on farm animal encounters, boutique wine tastings and wellness escapes set among peaceful ranges and leafy valleys.

The region is just as rich in flavour, with country pubs, artisan cafés, boutique wineries, breweries and distilleries serving up relaxed dining, fresh local produce and warm country hospitality. Linger a little longer among hilltop restaurants with sweeping views, historic country pubs and village favourites, perfect for a long lunch, a scenic coffee stop or a tasting trail through the hills.
