Description

Depart from Brisbane’s Holt Street Wharf for a 75-minute high-speed cruise across Moreton Bay. Spot dolphins or whales from the deck before arriving. A complimentary beverage is provided onboard.

Your booking includes exclusive access to the private Tangalooma Island Resort, allowing full use of swimming pools, restaurants, bars, showers, change rooms, and more. This provides a comfortable base throughout your day on the island.

The key activity is a guided snorkel tour of the 15 sunken vessels at the Tangalooma Wrecks, home to over 200 species of tropical fish and coral. All snorkelling gear is supplied, including mask, snorkel, fins, and wetsuit. Experienced guides lead the tour with safety support from crew vessels. The snorkelling area is adjacent to the resort and participants prepare on dry land before entering the water.

Included in your day is a lunch voucher redeemable at various resort outlets, allowing choice from burgers, pizza, pasta, salads, and more. Enjoy leisure time by the pool, bars, or explore the beach and gardens. The Eco Centre offers insights into local marine life, with ranger-led wildlife encounters and talks about kookaburras and the pelican colony.

At 3:15pm, join the “Discover the World of Dolphins” presentation to learn about the local wild dolphin pod that visits nightly. The ferry departs at 4:00pm, arriving back in Brisbane around 5:15pm.
