This is one seriously epic Best Life 'Back-Pocket' Adventure in more ways than one - and we can't wait to take you with us.
The stunning beauty and relatively undiscovered wilderness of Moreton Bay and her islands are best explored by water, far from the crowded hot spots.
This expedition takes you on a three-day kayaking adventure to some of the most remote parts of the islands to explore hidden channels and towering sand dunes, watch the mystical marine life up close, and camp under a carpet of stars.
For this adventure, we've taken the catering to a completely new level and work closely with Taste of Straddie to provide you with incredibly tasty meals during our time on the island, with dinner on day one, plus breakfast and lunch on day ttwo all masterfully created by their resident chef.
Over the three days, we paddle 50 km across Moreton Bay and up on the western side of North Stradbroke and Moreton Islands, offering generally smooth water conditions. We end our adventure at Tangalooma before catching the ferry back to the mainland.
This will be a true Best Life Adventure for the mind, body and soul.
Previous kayaking experience isn't necessary. You need an adventurous mind and a moderate level of upper-body fitness. We'll provide you with full training and safety gear on day one.

It's time to leave the madness of the mainland behind, and head out into the vastness of Moreton Bay for a few days of digital disconnection and physical adventure.
Our expedition departs from either Victoria Point or Cleveland (weather dependant) where we issue the kayaks, safety gear, and sumptuous food parcels, before departing in a combination of single and double kayaks for an easy few hours on the water, paddling east towards heritage-listed Peel Island, a former quarantine station for the colony of Brisbane.
We have lunch here before departing across the channel towards our destination for the night, North Stradbroke Island.
Dugongs, turtles, and dolphins frequent the waters and the island itself is known for its abundant bird and animal life largely undisturbed by pollution, development and nosey humans.
Our overnight accommodation is at Amity Point Campground where we'll enjoy a smorgasbord of great food from our on-island caterer.
Day Two of our expedition is a big one - the paddle from North Stradbroke to Moreton Island across South Passage. Using the slack tide we carefully navigate our way around the sandbanks and network of channels that have left many an unwary sailor high and dry.
Once we're safely across, our destination is Kooringa, for a rewarding coffee and snack. From here we wind our way among the life-giving mangroves that line the fringes of Crab Island watching stingrays, turtles and hopefully a dugong or two, race for cover as we approach. We paddle north and find a campsite on the beach at the foot of the towering sandhills that look west across to the Glasshouse Mountains and Brisbane.
This is our night of true wilderness underneath a starry summer sky.
Overnight accommodation in tents on Moreton Island.
After two days at sea, our paddle along the western shore of Moreton Island is our last of true solitude, with our destination, the welcoming resort of Tangalooma.
Warm showers, fresh water on tap and a hearty meal are your rewards for completing an adventure that very few people from South East Queensland have even considered.
We catch the ferry back to the mainland where your Best Life Adventure ends at the Tangalooma ferry terminal - Holt Street, Pinkenba.
