Aside from providing Moreton Island walking-trail maps and displays on the island's diverse marine and bird life, this centre is a launching pad for numerous ecotours and experiences, including a marine discovery cruise, sand-tobogganing trips and seasonal whale-watching tours (generally June to October). See the website for tour details. Currently open only to guests of the Tangalooma Island Resort.
