Best Snorkel Ever - Mick, Boony and Annie were the best crew! Cocktails delivered on the beach while we waited to snorkel, the group wasn’t too big either which made us feel at home on the boat. We Saw soooo many fish in the wrecks and two turtles were spotted! Lunch was tasty and fresh, and the fruit in the arvo really topped it off. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great day on the wrecks.

Fantastic!!! - Absolutely loved this trip! I have done other tours on the island but this one took the cake! Having the boat take us right up to the wrecks meant we didn't have to do the whole swim out and back. The free time we had on shore was the perfect amount of time, and having a fully licensed bar on board made for some sweet treats throughout the day. WOuld recommend this company any time! what great value and experience!

The Best!! - Cannot recommend highly enough. We have done this trip twice now and both times it has been such a great experience. The day is well organised and staff are professional and friendly. During the snorkel we saw turtles, a wobbegong and so many fish - all abilities were catered for. Lunch was great and relaxing on the beach with a cocktail was such a highlight. The day finishes with an eco tour where we saw so many massive sea turtles, stingrays and starfish. Do yourself a favour and book a trip!

Great day cruising - A fantastic day in and out of the water. Initially, I was a little nervous about snorkelling but quickly felt at ease with safety briefings from the crew, their help with use of equipment, pool noodles and also a small safety boat following along the wrecks with the snorkelling group. Highly recommend! An amazing experience to enjoy!

A first class Moreton Bay experience! - Amazing day trip, just what we wanted! The crew were all so helpful and vibrant, and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The whole day was very well organised but also very relaxed and we didn’t feel rushed. The snorkel guides were great, we felt safe and looked after, and the marine life was incredible! We particularly liked the beach service, where we could relax on the beautiful sand and have snacks and drinks delivered to us- first class! If you’re looking for a wholesome, fun and beautiful day on the ocean, this is your charter! Thank you Dolphin Wild!
