Download the itinerary for full details on what to expect on the day.
Is snorkelling equipment included?
Yes. Snorkelling equipment, a full wetsuit and flotation vest are provided as part of your guided Tangalooma Wrecks snorkel.
What wildlife might we see on the tour?
Moreton Bay Marine Park is home to dolphins, dugongs, sea turtles and a wide range of other marine life. Our crew keeps watch for wildlife during the day and shares their knowledge along the way. Wildlife is wild, so sightings can never be guaranteed.

Will I have free time on Moreton Island?

What should I bring on the tour?
Bring a towel, swimwear or beachwear, a change of clothes, sun protection and a camera or phone if you’d like to capture the day. You may also want a credit card for drinks and other purchases onboard. Note, we are a cashless venue.
Is the See Moreton day tour worth it?
The value of a See Moreton day comes from the whole experience rather than a single activity. Your day includes the return cruise aboard Spirit of Mulgumpin, guided Tangalooma Wrecks snorkelling, experienced crew and in-water guides, wildlife searching, a tropical buffet lunch, beach time and stand-up paddleboarding. For travellers who want those experiences brought together in one organised day from Brisbane, the tour is designed to take care of the major parts for you.
Which Moreton Island tour is best for snorkelling?
If Tangalooma Wrecks snorkelling is one of your priorities, look for a tour that includes a guided snorkel, equipment and in-water support rather than simply transport to the island. See Moreton includes guided wreck snorkelling, snorkelling equipment, a full wetsuit and flotation vest, with experienced in-water guides throughout the activity.
Is See Moreton good for people who have never snorkelled before?
Yes. Previous snorkelling experience is not required for the See Moreton guided Tangalooma Wrecks snorkel. Equipment, a full wetsuit and flotation vest are provided, and experienced in-water guides are there to help guests feel comfortable and confident.
Why book a guided Moreton Island tour instead of visiting independently?
An independent visit can suit travellers who want to self-drive and explore the island over a longer period. A guided See Moreton day tour is designed for people who would rather have the cruise, guided snorkelling, wildlife experience, lunch and island activities organised as one day from Brisbane.
What type of traveller is the See Moreton tour best suited to?
See Moreton is a strong fit for couples, families, friends and visitors to Brisbane who want a mix of activity and relaxation. The day includes guided snorkelling and wildlife searching, but also beach time, paddleboarding, lunch and time onboard Spirit of Mulgumpin, so guests can enjoy more than one style of experience.
What makes Spirit of Mulgumpin different from a standard ferry?
Spirit of Mulgumpin is part of the See Moreton experience rather than simply the transport. The purpose-built premium catamaran gives guests space to settle in and enjoy the crossing, with onboard facilities, food and a licensed bar, while the crew continue the Moreton Bay experience throughout the journey.
Is See Moreton better for a water-based or land-based Moreton Island experience?
See Moreton is primarily a water-led Moreton Island experience. It is best suited to travellers interested in cruising Moreton Bay, guided Tangalooma Wrecks snorkelling, marine wildlife, beach time and paddle boarding. Travellers whose main priorities are 4WD driving and sand tobogganing may prefer a land-focused tour.
What is the difference between See Moreton and a Tangalooma day trip?
See Moreton and Tangalooma offer different ways to experience Moreton Island. Tangalooma day trips are resort-based and can include access to resort facilities plus selected activities depending on the package. See Moreton is a guided full-day cruise experience built around Spirit of Mulgumpin, Tangalooma Wrecks snorkelling, wildlife searching, a tropical buffet lunch, beach time and stand-up paddle boarding.
The right choice depends on the kind of day you want. If you want a resort-based experience with optional activities, Tangalooma may suit you. If you want a water-led day where the cruise, snorkelling, wildlife, food and island time are brought together as one experience, that is See Moreton’s territory.
