Transport

Access to the island is via vehicle ferry service from the Port of Brisbane in Lytton, and the Tangalooma Flyer launched from Pinkenba. A service from Amity Point on North Stradbroke Island was discontinued. Timetable details are available at ‹The template Wikitravel is being considered for merging.› Moreton_Island travel guide from Wikitravel. The Combie Trader barge service from Scarborough in Redcliffe City to Bulwer no longer operates. It ceased in July 2008 due to matters with the terminal and landing areas. In December 2009 a replacement passenger-only ferry service was launched by Reality Cruises departing from the Newport Waterways Marina which is located a short distance from Scarborough. The service operates Wednesdays to Sundays.

There is no public bus service on the island. Tours and taxi transfers by four wheel drive (off road) vehicles operate from Bulwer. Private vehicles may be brought to the island by ferry. They can be driven on the island but require a vehicle access permit as the island is a national park. Four wheel drive (off road) vehicles are necessary as roads are unsealed and often sandy tracks beyond resort areas. Many beaches, particularly on the east shore, also serve as roads. There is little or no petrol on the island.
