Spend a full day on Moreton Island with this day cruise from Brisbane to Tangalooma Island Resort. A scenic catamaran takes you across Moreton Bay Marine Park, with one standard drink (tea, coffee, soft drink or water) on the way. On the island, join a guided snorkel tour of the Tangalooma Shipwrecks. The tour takes about 90 minutes, including a safety briefing and a boat ride from the beach to the wrecks, with around 30 to 35 minutes in the water, and all snorkel equipment is provided. The wrecks are home to more than 200 species of fish and 130 varieties of coral, and you may see sea turtles, wobbegong sharks, stingrays and dolphins. Between activities, a resort access pass lets you use the two swimming pools, restaurants, bars and the day lounge, and an island lunch voucher is included. You can also join Eco Ranger experiences and watch the 'Discover the World of Dolphins' video presentation at the Eco Centre. At sunset, take part in the wild dolphin feeding program, where the Eco Centre team guides guests in hand-feeding wild bottlenose dolphins under strict guidelines that protect the dolphins. The day ends with the return ferry to Brisbane in the evening.
