From Brisbane: Moreton Island Wreck Snorkeling & Dolphin Feeding

Cruise from Brisbane
to Tangalooma on Moreton Island

Depart from Holt Street Wharf in Brisbane and cruise across Moreton Bay, arriving directly at Tangalooma Island Resort in about 75 minutes. You may spot dolphins or whales on the way, and one drink is provided on board. On the island, your full-day resort pass gives access to the pools, restaurants, bars, convenience store, showers and change rooms.

Snorkel the Tangalooma Wrecks with a guide

Explore the Tangalooma Wrecks on a 90-minute guided snorkeling tour. The 15 sunken vessels form a reef that is home to more than 200 species of tropical fish and coral.

The snorkel boat takes you right to the wrecks, so there is no long swim. All equipment, including mask, snorkel, fins and wetsuit, is provided. After a safety briefing, experienced guides lead guests of all levels with boat support. Time in the water is about 30–35 minutes, weather permitting.

Have lunch with your voucher and relax at the resort

Use your included lunch voucher (adult $25, child $20) at resort outlets for burgers, pizza, pasta, salads, nachos and more. In the afternoon, relax by the pool, enjoy a drink at the bar, or explore the beach and tropical gardens.

You can learn about local marine life at the Eco Centre, join eco ranger activities and watch the "Discover the World of Dolphins" presentation. Depending on the schedule, there may also be kookaburra feeding or a seabird talk.

Join the wild dolphin feeding at sunset

Every evening around sunset, a pod of wild bottlenose dolphins comes into the shallows to feed. This program is strictly managed to protect the dolphins and lets you meet wild dolphins up close in their natural environment.

At the end of the day, you leave the island in the evening and arrive in Brisbane about 75 minutes later. Departure from the island follows sunset: 7:00 PM in winter, 7:30 PM in spring and autumn, and 8:00 PM in summer.

※ Dolphins are wild animals, so sightings are not guaranteed. On some days the dolphins do not appear.
※ Feeding conditions depend on the weather, dolphin behavior and the number of dolphins and guests. One fish may be shared by two guests or a small group, and feeding may take place from the jetty.
