About Moreton Island Dolphin Spotting and Snorkelling Cruise departing from Redcliffe

Escape to Moreton Island for a full-day marine adventure departing from Redcliffe, where you will cruise through Moreton Bay in just 50 minutes to encounter wild dolphins, sea turtles, and the rare dugong. After the eco-tour, enjoy a guided snorkel at the Tangalooma Wrecks, try your hand at boom netting, and relax on pristine white-sand beaches — all with a fresh healthy lunch included.

Local Legends & Stories

Moreton Island has a colourful maritime history dating back to the 1800s when it served as a stopover for whalers and shipwreck salvage crews. The name Tangalooma is said to come from the Aboriginal word meaning "place of plenty," a fitting description for the rich marine life that still thrives in these waters today.

Must Do Experiences

Join the guided marine eco-tour to spot dolphins, sea turtles, and dugongs in their natural habitat, Try your luck with a boom netting experience in the crystal-clear waters, Snorkel among the Tangalooma Wrecks and discover vibrant underwater marine life, Unwind on the sun-drenched beaches of Moreton Island with nothing but sand and sea around you

Hidden Gems

The Tangalooma Wrecks were intentionally sunk in the 1960s to create a breakwater for the island resort, making them an artificial reef teeming with fish — a unique underwater attraction you won't find anywhere else in Australia, The seagrass beds around Moreton Island are one of the last remaining feeding grounds for dugongs in Southeast Queensland, making sightings here truly special, The island's glasshouse beaches offer some of the most Instagram-worthy white-sand scenery in the entire Brisbane region, and the best views are from the eastern shore at low tide

What Makes it Special

This is one of the few day cruises from Brisbane that combines a dolphin eco-watching tour with snorkelling and beach time all in one trip, The guided boom netting experience lets you actively participate in a traditional fishing activity rather than just observing, The cruise departs from Redcliffe rather than the crowded central Brisbane ferries, giving you a more relaxed and scenic start to your adventure

Available Facilities

Restrooms Cafe First Aid Parking Wi-Fi Gift Shop Beach Access Sun Shelter

Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

The best time to take this cruise is during the Australian summer months from November to April when the waters are warmest and dolphin sightings are most frequent. Early morning departures tend to have smaller groups and calmer seas, while midday cruises offer the best sunlight for snorkelling. Shoulder seasons like October and May also provide pleasant weather with fewer crowds.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

Bring a waterproof camera or smartphone housing — the dolphin encounters and snorkelling scenes are too good to miss, The golden hour just after boarding and before arrival gives you soft, warm light for photos of Moreton Bay and the island skyline, The Tangalooma Wrecks are best photographed during midday when sunlight penetrates the clear jade waters for vibrant underwater shots

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

Moreton Island is a protected marine environment, so please do not feed or touch any wildlife including dolphins and turtles. Respect local Indigenous heritage by learning about the Quandamooka people, the traditional custodians of these waters, and follow all guide instructions during the eco-tour to minimise your impact on the ecosystem.

Special Events & Experiences

Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights

During the winter months from June to August, humpback whales migrate past Moreton Island and guides often spot them on the eco-tour, The annual Moreton Island Classic car rally takes place on the island's vast sand plains and some cruise operators coordinate special viewing trips, Summer school holiday periods often feature extended marine wildlife tours with additional educational activities for families

Important Guidelines & Safety

Essential safety information and guidelines

Always wear a life jacket provided onboard when participating in snorkelling or boom netting activities, Stay hydrated and reapply sunscreen regularly as the Queensland sun can be intense even on cloudy days, If you are not a strong swimmer, inform your guide before entering the water so they can assist you with appropriate gear and support
