Awesome day - Despite the rainy weather we had a fantastic day out. Snorkeling around the wrecks was amazing and the fish were all the commits of the rainbow. Would do this again in a heartbeat! The staff on our boat were fabulous and took great care of everyone. The food was also delicious.

Best day out! - I had the best day ever! They even had decaf coffee available. I was well prepared to snorkel by the staff. All of the staff was super prepared and made my trip enjoyable. The lunch was perfect. I try to eat low carb and there were lots of options. As well as higher carb options for those that wanted those.
During the beach time, paddle boards were provided. I’ve been wanting to try it out, and I loved it! I think I’ll have to go home and take a class!
The only thing I would have liked was more snorkeling time, but that might just be me.

Happy - Very happy, got to see dolphin, turtle and dugong. Good lunch, very nice crew. Got an hour on the beach after lunch which we took advantage of to swim again between the ships.

Great day out. - Although you initially think it’s not a cheap day out, by the end of the day you’ve found you’ve had a bargain! The crew were fantastic. Lunch was amazing. We thought it’d be the usual 3 day old stale sandwich, how wrong!! King prawns, pasta salad, chicken, it was so good most people went up for 3rd helpings!! Moreton island is a paradise just of the coast. Spotted numerous pods of dolphins on the way to and back. Also saw a giant green sea turtle. Kids 10, 12 and 14 loved the snorkelling over the wrecks. Absolutely great day out. You get what you pay for!!

A really enjoyable day, informative and safe. - Staff were terrific, keeping
people safe at all times. It was a bit
Crowded at the shipwrecks. Lunch was great and plenty for everyone. The Captain allowed for lots of time viewing dolphins and turtles. Pick up from town a big help.

Okay but wouldn’t be first on the list again - Nice day out and lunch was a nice touch but a bit pricy for essentially a few hours on the beach and 30 mins of snorkelling.

Rip off for what you get! - Definitely would not recommend this trip to anyone!! Staff were not friendly, especially the driver of our transport bus from the Gold Coast. She didn't talk to anyone the whole way back to Gold Coast (had a set of ear phones over her head, which usually indicates no-one talk to me!), and we got stuck in traffic for over an hour and a half and didn't bother to turn around advise passengers if the traffic was normal or not, leading us to believe that was normal and the travelling time was very long for the trip, and also appeared to be sick with a cold (my husband fell ill a couple of days later, not saying it was her, but lucky this trip was towards the end of our holiday). Food was average, only nice thing was the prawns. Only got to snorkel the wrecks for 30mins (should have been way longer considering the price we paid!!!) Overall very overpriced for what you get. Could have spent the $632NZ we paid, on more fun things on our holiday, like shopping! Poor Commnication all-round really. Looking at previous reviews on TripAdvisor the trip looked amazing and were so excited to do it, so have been left very disappointed.

Too crowded in the water - Water was too murky and way too many people at once. This needs to have smaller groups and based on skill

Worst Moreton trip - The only good time for this tour was the time we were let go on the beach. The wreck dive was too dangerous with the waves and the current. It does not say that once you go snorkeling you are committed to 35 to 45 minutes. My wife can only do 20 minutes at most. We did not see any dolphin. If the Captain sees dolphins, then he stops and try to show them, so you may get lucky. Again the advertisement makes it sound that part of the tour is to look for dolphins which is a lie. We should have been dropped off on the main vessel from the small vessel, but instead we were stuck on the small vessel. There is no explanation as to where we can par the vehicle at the marina and no directions for the meeting point. The crew was disorganized. This is the worst tour we went on in Australia and I definitely do not recommend it to anyone.
