Tours are included Price includes a tour to the Little Sandhills with sand tobogganing (3 hours) and a tour to Cape Moreton (3 hours) . Mt Tempest can be done on the way to camp on Friday. Travel on Moreton Island is on sand tracks and beaches and so four wheel drive buses are used. Schedules are adapted on the day to suit tides and weather conditions. Moreton Experience vehicles have forward facing seats. Lake Honeyeater and its surrounding heathland is only 40 minute walk from our camp and is a must for those interested in wildflowers and nature. A typical weekend program The program is developed during the week-end to take account of weather, beach condition and tides. Two half day 4WD tours will be scheduled.
