Travel with Sunrover Expeditions to Moreton Island and discover an island of breathtaking wilderness where man has had little influence.

98% of Moreton Island is National Park, this means laws have been put in place to conserve not only the native Australian animals and plants and the natural landscape but also the archaeological and historical sites.

4WD vehicle is the only access on the roadless island. Sunrover Expeditions will transport you in comfort on a true 4WD experience to Moreton's long deserted beaches, crystal clear surf, freshwater lagoons, rainforests and one of the world's highest stable sand dunes (280 meters) Mt. Tempest.

Moreton Islands ecology is complex and fragile. It supports a number of habitats - beach and dune communities, sedge and paperbark swamps, banksia heathlands, open woodlands and salt marshes which attract over 125 species of birds along with countless species of lizards and small marsupials.
