Access to the Island is by vehicular ferry see below for
contact information. A permit is required to bring your
vehicle onto the Island, once there you are restricted to
certain parts to ensure protection of certain areas such as
turtle breeding beaches and other sensitive areas for wading
birds. Private boats can also be moored at Tangalooma. There
are no sealed roads on Moreton Island hence all vehicles
must be of the 4WD type and equipped for sand driving.
Camping is permitted, but please ensure you obtain your permits on the
barge or at the Ranger Station on the Island. Camp sites are

and Eagers Creek. A camping fee is applicable for
individuals and groups please see the rangers for details.
