Such a fantastic tour I absolutely loved it and would highly recommend going on this tour
Such a fantastic tour over to Moreton island my first time ever over there and wow I was mindblown, the Tangalooma wrecks were amazing. So much fish to spot on the snorkel tour, the lunch was great and we even spotted some turtles further up from the wrecks and that was amazing to see. Definitely recommend this tour if visiting Australia and Queensland you will be mindblown, the staff and tour operators were fantastic a swell, will be doing this tour again one day.

Morton island experience is excellent with great organisation and super friendly staff.
We love the experience of the Morton Island trip. The staff is super friendly and passionate, always ready to answer any questions and concerns. The food is very fresh and yummy. Although the weather is not perfect, the staff has tried their best to make sure all the customers could enjoy the trip. The price is also very attractive. We would surely recommend to our friends in the future.

Well organised tour, enthusiastic staff and amazing content. Had a beautiful morning tea and lunch on the boat. All snorkel gear and kayak included. Beach was stunning
Loved the day out with the family. We got to see a dugong and many dolphins in their natural habitat as well as turtles. Beautiful reef and fish on the shipwrecks. Day was well organised and co-ordinated by the crew from the start. Enjoyed the lunch and happy hour on offer. Very comfortable the whole way through.
