Join a private coastal adventure from Brisbane. Encounter Eastern Grey Kangaroos, stroll through mangroves with diverse birdlife, and explore Osprey House. Drive across Houghton Highway for breathtaking views, visit the HMQS Gayundah shipwreck, and marvel at Moreton Island.

After pickup, drive to a location where you can admire mobs of Eastern Grey Kangaroos from a safe distance. In the early morning, see large groups feed in the open grassland. With births occurring year-round, you can observe the young ones in their mother’s pouches.

Continue with a short mangrove walk and observe a great variety of waders, water birds, and aerial birds. Also keep your eyes peeled for some perching birds, both large and small.

Then, drive to Osprey House, where the environmental center has several lookouts. Learn about the various habitats. Visit another bird hide from Osprey House and take a short walk or drive with amazing mangrove views.

Continuing your coastal tour, drive across one of the longest bridges in Australia, the Houghton Highway, with glorious views of Hays Inlet and the Glass House Mountains.

Stop at two more mangrove lookouts on your way to the HMQS Gayundah shipwreck at Woody Point. The Gayundah was deliberately beached in the 1950s to act as a breakwater.

Driving further around the coastline, stop to admire the spectacular view across to Moreton Island. If you wish, dip your toes in the water and do some beachcombing. End the tour at the Scarborough Boat Harbour, where you can buy fresh seafood at the legendary Morgans.
