About this tour
A full-day action trip to Moreton Island combining kayaking, snorkelling and sandboarding, departing from Brisbane or Gold Coast. You'll travel by 4WD vehicle to Tangalooma Wrecks to explore coral reefs by kayak and snorkel, then sandboard down massive dunes inland. The tour includes lunch, wetsuits, and all equipment; note that a $85 AUD levy per adult (ferry and national park fees) is paid on-site, and this operator is the only one combining all three activities in a single day.
