What to expect
The boat departs and cruises past two Stradbroke Islands and Wave Break Island, with your guide pointing out marine life as you go. Most time is spent at Tangalooma, where you'll snorkel the wreck site—the wrecks sit in shallow water, making them accessible for various abilities. Between water time, you'll head ashore for a measured walk through Moreton Island's bushland, looking for local wildlife. Fruit and water keep you fuelled throughout. The pace is leisurely; this isn't rushed.
Good to know
Bring sunscreen and a rash vest or wetsuit top—eight hours on water means serious sun exposure. Infants must sit on an adult's lap; prams work for on-land sections. Not suitable if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. Public transport reaches the departure point.
