Spend one epic day exploring Moreton Island on the famous “Get Wrecked” tour from the Gold Coast. Enjoy return transfers from the Gold Coast, cruise across Moreton Bay by ferry, snorkel the Tangalooma Wrecks, paddle in transparent kayaks, race down giant sand dunes on a sandboard and experience a fully guided 4WD island adventure – all in one big day out.
Swap the Gold Coast skyline for sand dunes and shipwrecks on this full-day Moreton Island “Get Wrecked” adventure. Start with a coach transfer from the Gold Coast to Brisbane, then cruise across Moreton Bay by ferry to reach one of the world’s largest sand islands.
Your guide will lead a fully equipped snorkelling tour around the Tangalooma Wrecks, where you can spot turtles, rays and colourful reef fish. Next, jump into a transparent kayak and glide over the wrecks for a unique view of the marine life below (conditions permitting).
In the afternoon, head off-road by 4WD to “The Desert” – a natural sand playground where you’ll race down giant dunes on a sandboard at speeds of up to 70 km/h. With all gear, lunch and return Gold Coast transfers included, this is the easiest way to experience Moreton Island in a single, action-packed day.
