Summer Trip Day 2 : 4×4 wheel Full Day Moreton Island Tour – Sand Boarding
By admin | February 25, 2010
Micat Ferry & Tour Package – http://www.moretonventure.com
There are already 6 – 8 passengers in van before we arrived at Holiday Inn hotel. We are the last patch of customers. :p Then, van stop at 2 – 3 hotel and station to pick up another 3 – 6 persons before departure to Port of Brisbane – Micat Ferry Jetty.
We arrived Jetty around 8am. Tour guide bring us to the seat reserved for us and explain something to us. Sorry that my English is poor, only managed to understand 20% of the explanation. 
Light morning tea is service in ferry are included in package. choice of tea, coffee and one piece of cake or biscuit. You just have to show them the Wristbands before place order at bar. Only four of us is light green colour Wristbands – Eco Explorer tour, other is blue that I think is Snorkeling Package.
It took us 1 hour to arrive Moreton Island. We started to put sunblock half hour before arrived. The wind is cold but the sun is hot. Its very easy get burn! so better put many many sunblock haha
Above is the first scene we saw in moreton Island. Snorkeling package start from here. They are changing diving clothes on the spot liao.
I am so surprise that we are the only 4 who took Eco package. That meant we occupied the whole 4 x 4 wheel car! haha.. so great! Our tour guide is a lady named Kim. She is very friendly and nice too. We are very happy with her guide.
A unique plant in Moreton Island. Forget about the name already. Sitting in a 4 x 4 wheel car really like riding horse! We sit at the back and keep bouncing here and there. I have to tied safety belt and hold something to balance myself. Our first activity is sand boarding. It took us 10 – 20 mins to drive through the middle road to dessert.
We done a big mistake of no wear shoes to walk on sand! Kim said it is not necessary to wear shoes so we just walk without shoes lor.. who knows… those sand are hot like no tomorrow! I think it could cook eggs if we put on it. Furthermore, it is so hard to walk on sand. It much different than climbing mountain. and we have to walk very far to climb up to top of dessert. *cry*
I am so scare to board when stand on the top of dessert. I am kitchen heart ler.. it look so scary.. it high and on a slant. However, it is possible for me to walk down also.. damn far away ler… do you see the distance? So die die also boarding down lor.. Me only played 1 time while other played at least twice.
Fatty and other who played twice said they already extremely regret to climb up again on the second time. But they have no selection due to already climb half way..
My opinion on this sand boarding games - try it only if you really sporty and do not might to spend all your energy to walk on extremely hot sand (or you could try it at other season..hehe)
