“We had a great day with Ryan, Michelle, and Josh. The lunch offering was great and all the activities were very well run. Would recommend!”
Moreton Island from Brisbane or the Gold Coast combines wreck snorkeling, clear kayaks, sandboarding, 4WD travel, lunch, and useful planning tips.
“The staff was super nice and kind. Lunch was okay- was a buffer burrito making lunch. We felt super rushed and did not have time at each spot. There was a strong current pushing us away from the ship wreck site so it was difficult but it was so crowded we were literally on top of one another snorkeling. Was an okay adventure.”

See Byron Bay, Bangalow, and the Gold Coast from Brisbane on a small-group day tour with coastal views, local stops, and guide Trevor.
“Our guide Trevor was excellent. His commentary was really interesting and he was happy to answer our many questions. We had numerous stops during the day, with the walk near Byron Bay to the most easterly point, the highlight for me. Unfortunately we didn’t have the best weather, but Trevor was ready with umbrellas! We saw so much during the day! It was a marvellous introduction to this part of Australia.”
Explore the Gold Coast from Brisbane with wildlife, Springbrook rainforest, SkyPoint lunch, Surfers Paradise, and expert local commentary.
“Our journey was really smooth and the tour guide was marvelously friendly. The other tourists along with us were really friendly as well so we were really lucky. Although we didn't really enjoy the lunch. The spit was a really great place. Even though we didnt see dolphins, the waves really made our day. Overall it was a great experience.”
