Set off on a full-day island escape to Moreton Island, a sun-soaked destination just off the coast of Brisbane, renowned for its natural beauty, tranquil beaches and famous Tangalooma Wrecks. Kick off with a convenient coach pick-up from Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast, then transfer to Brisbane’s ferry terminal. Relax as you cruise toward Moreton Island, taking in panoramic bay views along the way.

Arrival and orientation

Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by your expert English-speaking guide. After a brief safety orientation and distribution of snorkel, kayak and sandboarding gear, the day’s adventure begins. Each segment is designed to showcase a different side of Moreton Island's unique coastal and desert environments.

Snorkeling at Tangalooma Wrecks

Dive into crystal-clear waters on a guided snorkeling session at the legendary Tangalooma Wrecks. These 15 sunken vessels form an artificial reef bustling with vibrant marine life. Your guide will help you spot tropical fish, colorful corals, and maybe even sea turtles, safely equipping everyone with snorkeling sets and life vests.
