[旅行] 摩頓島2天1夜行 Moreton Island (Tangalooma Island Resort) 2 Day 1 Night Trip

這次妹妹來拜訪我，原本想去當地人推薦的North Stradbroke Island，但是2人的住宿選擇比較少，所以比較便利的緣故就去了摩頓島。

During my sister's visit, We would have like to visit Straddie at first, but it had few accommodation choices for two persons. Therefore, we went to Moreton Island instead.

摩頓島主要是由一個私人度假村在經營，遊客可以在島上過夜或參加一日遊。

Moreton Island is mainly run by a private corporation, which is Tangalooma Island Resort. You can stay there overnight or join a day tour.

摩頓島是世界第三大的沙島，所以特色是一望無際的沙灘；另外一個特色是傍晚有餵食野生海豚的活動可以參加。至於其他時間，島嶼上有很多活動選擇，像是浮潛、潛水、划皮艇（Kayaking）、Segway、直升機島上導覽...等等，可以事先先訂好，也可以當場再去購買。

Moreton Island is the third largest sand island of the world so the beaches are really amazing. The must-do on the island is to feed wild dolphins. There is a variety of activities visitors may choose from, for example, snorkelling, scuba diving, kayaking, Segway, and helicopter tours. You can book in advance or just go to the tour desks after you arrive.

查過價格後，我事先和在旅行社工作的室友買了浮潛導覽， 這個行程是先搭船到距離不遠的沈船區浮潛。這些沈船是之前政府為了削弱沿岸的浪讓船可以停靠刻意放的，因為各種生物附著，所以魚群也會來覓食，成為浮潛的好景點。雖然當天天氣不佳，而且水濁濁的，但還是看到海龜游過去，太特別的經驗了！

I booked snorkelling tour via my flatmate who works at a tour agency. This tour included taking a boat to the shipwreck area near the island and snorkelling around the wrecks. These ships were sunk by Queensland Government years ago as a breakwater but it has become a good spot to snorkel. Although the weather was not good, I still saw a turtle swim beneath me which was really cool!

浮潛行程還送了免費租用皮艇1小時，有單人、雙人可選，我們選了雙人很快就後悔，因為比較重ＸＤ不過還是成功地滑出岸邊，不久後就上手了，就算沒有經驗也不用怕（不要滑遠就是了）

The snorkelling came with 1 hour kayak hire for free. We could choose a single or double kayak and we chose the double one. I hadn't have done kayaking before, but it was easy to learn. So people without experience should be fine if they don't go too far. It was calming and nice on the sea.

在乘船處食售票員會發給遊客島上的活動行程本，我剛好看到Segway在特價，時間比較短但半價很吸引人，所以臨時在活動時間前10分鐘去報名參加，結果只有我跟我妹兩個人而已哈哈！ 是蠻好玩的，但我實在是無法駕馭好，速度沒辦法很快，但我妹就很快上手而且都不怕跌倒一直衝衝衝～ 我覺得沒玩過的人可以趁半價體驗看看ＸＤ

I found a discounted Segway tour in brochure, which is shorter than normal ones but with half of the usual price. We'd decided to go 10 minutes before the scheduled time of the tour and we were lucky to make it! It was fun to try and the instructor was amazing. I couldn't ride it like my sister did. She was like a natural.

最後要介紹的是傍晚餵海豚的活動，這些海豚是野生的但會固定傍晚來岸邊等待餵食，真是太聰明的動物了！其實餵海豚只有短短的一瞬間，但是可以近距離接觸還是很有趣！附上沒什麼重點的影片～

The last activity we did was dolphin feeding. The dolphins are wild but they are so smart to come here every evening to be fed by people. It's only a short moment to feed them, but it was exciting to see them in such a close distance.

這些體驗和妹妹一起就更好玩了～把她送回台灣後，下禮拜我也要開學了！希望可以好好分配時間，然後繼續寫網誌 😊

I think the trip was more fun with my sister 😊

Uni starts from next week. Hope I can manage my time well and keep writing posts!
