Moreton Islands Day Trips | Snorkeling, Sandboarding & More

Things to know before booking your Brisbane to Moreton Island day trips

Why choose a day trip: Booking a day trip gives you the ease of return transfers without any planning hassle. You can pick the option that best fits your preferred tour style, budget, and dining choices.

Ticket types: You can choose between a day pass, an adventure activities pass, or a tour.

Day pass vs Adventure activities pass: The Adventure Day Pass provides access to land sports, mini golf, and equipment for paddleboarding, kayaking, or snorkeling, perfect for those who want to explore at their own pace. The Adventure Activities Pass includes all of this plus a choice of guided experiences—like Segway tours, Tangalooma Wrecks snorkeling, or dolphin feeding—ideal for travelers seeking a more active, structured day.

Tour add-ons: Make your day extra special with snorkeling at the Tangalooma Wrecks, dolphin cruises, lighthouse tours, 4WD safaris, or scuba diving. The base tour at AED 179 includes snorkeling, kayaking, and a desert tour with lunch, while upgraded tours offer cruises, sightseeing, and diving for a fuller island experience.

Duration: Every experience usually lasts 8-13 hours, with morning departures and evening returns, combining guided activities and free time. If time is not a concern, the Snorkeling Tour with lunch and kayaking is the best choice for exploring the island and enjoying adventure activities.

Transport & ferries: All tours include round-trip ferry transfers, with pickup options from Brisbane, Gold Coast, or Rivergate Marina. The ferry ride takes about 75 minutes each way, making for a scenic start and finish to your day.

Lunch: If you’d like everything taken care of, some tours—such as the Tangalooma Wreck Snorkelling tours-already include lunch. Otherwise, you’re welcome to bring your own, buy something on the island, or simply add lunch to your tour for a small additional cost.
