Tangalooma Wrecks

Overview

How about an under-sea exploration on a tropical island right in your own backyard? Take the Micat ferry from Brisbane to Moreton Island, and discover Tangalooma Wrecks. This collection of 15 deliberately scuttled ships now provide an ever-changing underwater landscape of live coral, fish and even the occasional dolphin or dugong.

Don't have snorkelling equipment? Just rent it via a tour that will also drop you out near the wrecks. When you've finished exploring the sunken trove of sea life, return to shore and slowly wander back along the white sands to Tangalooma Resort — you're on island time, now.
