About this tour
A full-day adventure on Moreton Island combining scuba diving, snorkelling at the Tangalooma Shipwrecks, and optional water sports like kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding. Suited to anyone wanting to try diving for the first time or build on existing skills, with plenty of above-water activities if you prefer to skip the underwater bit. Includes return ferry from Brisbane, all gear, and beach time.
Highlights
- Scuba dive with full equipment provided and instruction available
- Snorkel the Tangalooma Shipwrecks — accessible, iconic wreck dive site
- Kayaks and SUPs included; mix water sports to suit your mood
- Return ferry transfers from Brisbane included in price
- Bush walk option on the island between water activities
- Beach downtime built into the day
What to expect
You'll catch a return ferry to Moreton Island from Brisbane. Once there, the day is structured around water and land options: scuba diving (gear supplied) is the headline, but snorkelling at the Tangalooma Shipwrecks is the reliable centrepiece — shallow enough to do safely, close enough to access without heavy current. Kayaks and SUPs are available for hire if you want variety. There's also a bush walk if you prefer land-based time, and beach access for resting between activities.
Expect a full, active day with multiple activity stations rather than a single focus. The ferry ride itself takes time, so plan on 6–8 hours on the island. Lunch isn't included, so bring or purchase food on-site. Group size varies; it's a organised operator running multiple activities, not a private charter.
