Tangalooma Island Resort + Aquatic Adventure Day Cruise

The Tangalooma Aquatic Adventure Day Cruise is a full-day Moreton Island experience ideal for travellers who prefer to explore at their own pace. Combining return ferry transfers with kayak, snorkel and stand-up paddleboard hire, plus full access to Tangalooma Island Resort, it gives you the freedom to spend the day on the water, at the beach or relaxing around the resort, without being tied to a guided tour schedule.

One Day, Three Water Adventures
Your day begins with a scenic catamaran cruise across Moreton Bay to Tangalooma Island Resort. Once you arrive, there's no fixed itinerary to follow. Simply collect your equipment when you're ready and choose how you'd like to spend your time, whether that's kayaking along the coastline, snorkelling around the Tangalooma Wrecks or stand-up paddleboarding in the calm bay.

With kayak hire included, you can explore the sheltered waters surrounding the resort at your own pace, keeping an eye out for dolphins, sea turtles and rays that are often spotted in the area. Later, you can head to the iconic Tangalooma Wrecks, where a collection of intentionally sunken ships has transformed into a thriving artificial reef. Using your snorkel gear, you can discover colourful fish, coral formations and a variety of marine life on a self-guided adventure just offshore. If you'd like to slow the pace, stand-up paddleboarding offers another relaxing way to experience the crystal-clear waters and coastal scenery.

Time At Tangalooma Island Resort
After making the most of the water activities, you can unwind at Tangalooma Island Resort. Enjoy lunch using your resort voucher, relax by the swimming pools, stroll along the beach or visit one of the cafés and bars overlooking Moreton Bay. If you'd like to extend your day, optional upgrades include staying later on the island to watch the famous wild dolphin feeding from the jetty, enjoying a sunset cocktail or taking a scenic helicopter flight before returning to Brisbane.

Who Is This Tour Best Suited For
This experience is perfect for confident swimmers and independent travellers who enjoy exploring at their own pace rather than following a guided itinerary. It's also a great choice for active couples, groups of friends and families with older children who want the flexibility to combine kayaking, snorkelling and stand-up paddleboarding in one unforgettable Moreton Island adventure.
