What to expect

Throw your swimwear into a bag and set sail with See Moreton to discover miles of unspoiled white sand beaches, the famed Tangalooma Wrecks, a world-renowned destination for encountering dolphins, dugongs and sea turtles, and a healthy dose of sun-drenched island glamour.

Departing daily from Brisbane, cruise in luxury to Moreton Bay Marine Park aboard the modern, air-conditioned catamaran Spirit of Migaloo II. Here enjoy the freedom to do as much or as little as you please with all activities included and no local fees. Dive in and snorkel the fifteen shipwrecks deliberately sunk just off the coastline with an abundance of spectacular coral formations and colourful marine life that needs to be seen to be believed. No experience is required, and all equipment and water safety are provided. Afterwards, join our naturalist guides in a fish-feeding session with the 200 species that frequent the area.

Satisfy your appetite with a gourmet tropical buffet featuring ocean king prawns, and quench your thirst with a glass of local wine, craft beer or frozen cocktail. When it’s time to relax, enjoy free island time on the unspoilt white-sand beach. Kayak on sheltered crystal-clear waters, join a game with complimentary beach sporting equipment, or simply kick back and soak in the serenity. A nature lover’s dream, no trip to Moreton Island is complete without witnessing some of Queensland’s best marine wildlife.

Home to one of the largest populations of bottlenose dolphins in Australia, watch as they jump and play in turquoise waters. Keep an eye out for six of the world’s seven species of sea turtles and herds of shy and gentle dugongs in one of the world’s remaining strongholds for this species. Our onboard marine naturalists have been working with these incredible animals for over a decade and have the experience to give you the closest wildlife encounters possible. Whatever your pace, an all-inclusive day cruise to Moreton Island will leave you feeling revitalised in this unique pocket of the world.
