      Just wanted to say a big thank you to Mick and the crew on the Eco snorkelling tour this last weekend. My family had a fantastic time, and the snorkelling was awesome. We’re definitely recommending it to friends and hope to do it again with some of them. Thanks again for a great day.

      Excellent Day Cruise!
      This cruise was a gift organised through Red Balloon. The booking process with Dolphin Wild Island Cruises wad simple and seamless. The whole day was very well organised, the crew were lovely and went above and beyond, the lunch was great, and bar options were impressive! This was a wonderful, relaxing, totally unrushed day enjoyed by young and old alike. The wrecks are well worth seeing with your own eyes. I fully recommend this cruise!

      Great Adventure Day Out
      Had a very enjoyable day out snorkeling around the wrecks, the staff were very friendly and helpful. On the trip over to Moreton Island we saw a whale, snorkeling we saw many fish and a couple of turtles, then on the way back we saw a dugong. Staff are very attentive, and we had great confidence in their approach to safety and making it a great day out.

      AWESOME CRUISE
      My Grandaughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our Trip, the snorkelling was something my grandaughter hadn't experienced and she loved it. The staff were very friendly and funny, atmosphere was great. Lunch was lovely and the afternoon tea (fresh fruit) was delicious. We enjoyed being able to go onto Tangalooma and climb the sand dunes. Would highly recommend this trip. Thanks Teena Lenz

      The Best Day Ever!
      What a day! The crew from Dolphin Wild Island Cruise were so fun, happy and beyond helpful with the snorkel activity. As a disability group it can sometimes be daunting trying new activities, however the crew were amazing. It was incredible to snorkel the wrecks and see so much sea life on the Eco Tour! Moreton Island is definitely on the list one of our favourite places ever! Thank you for having us! Freedom Disability Support

      Relaxed way to experience Moreton island
      A very relaxed way to visit Moreton island. Crew were welcoming, fun and knowledgeable. Food was perfect of the day and we really enjoyed the history and understanding a bit more about the marine life. A very enjoyable day shared with friends.

    We have just celebrated my husband’s 80th birthday with a large group of family and friends. Not only was the booking process extremely professional and easy to manage, Lucy was absolutely lovely and very accommodating of last minute additions!
    The trip even started with a whale sighting while in the way over!
    .The crew onboard are equally as professional, warm and friendly; our group included a whole squadron of little children and the staff treated everyone with patience and friendliness. Sarah guided our snorkelling tour and was exceptional; despite pretty cold water conditions, the fish were prolific and Sarah ensured that our group was constantly together and enjoying ourselves.
    And to complete the trip we also spotted a dugong on the Eco tour at the end!

    Well done everyone!

    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.

    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!

    Was a nice day enjoyed the snorkelling itself was great however was disappointed that this was only for 38 minutes for my group (orange group) felt very rushed not for 50 mins as advertised. So that was disappointing as it was the main reason I booked this this tour compared to other tours. Other groups got longer 45-50 mins we were the shortest which was a shame as the weather conditions were great the whole day. Food and boat facilities were really good. Missed out on the afternoon fruit it's a buffet first come first serve so have to make sure you get it quick. Could've been set up with better shading on the beach there was only one cabana which was half way going into the sea no games as advertised. Saw dolphins which was an awesome surprise for the wildlife cruise great commentary on the wildlife and history of the island.

    From start to finish, the cruise and tour around Moreton Island was excellent ! The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and very knowledgeable. We enjoyed every moment spent on the cruise and we were able to take incredible videos and photos of our time snorkelling 🤿 Highly Recommend ! Very family friendly and loved having the food included plus the opportunity to purchase extras from the open bar for snacks and alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks was definitely a treat !

    A fantastic fun day with family and friends. Alan was a wealth of knowledge telling us about the marine life and history of the bay. The crew were fantastic making sure we had the best day. The snorkeling tour was brilliant. Amelia was great leading the snorkeling tour and supervising the safety of everyone especially the children. She was also very knowledgeable when it came to the marine life. Boom netting and the bomb diving competition was the icing on the cake for a great family day. We highly recommend a day on the bay with Dolphin Wild.

    We had a really lovely day out on Moreton Bay with these guys. We saw a Dugong in the wild, which was the main focus of booking the trip, and was wonderful, and were really lucky with seeing a large pod of dolphins on the way back too. The crew were super lovely, knowledgeable, knew where to find the wildlife and how to approach carefully, which we really respected as we've seen some pretty awful practices with large vehicles and wild animals elsewhere!
    We were fed well, plenty of drinks available all day, and extras could be bought on board.
    Boom netting was excellent fun, and well managed :) well worth it!
    The only thing that we were disappointed about was the snorkelling. Due to the water conditions and currents, and Queensland H&S mixed with inexperienced swimmers, the safety requirements were strict which meant we were corralled as a group really close together. Rather than making the activity safer, in fact we were so close to other swimmers it was extremely stressful with continuous contact from other fins and limbs. I was kicked in the head at least twice as well as other parts of my body. My friend who is a confident swimmer felt safer away from the group, and therefore the wrecks, meaning she didn't get kicked but also didn't see any wildlife or fish, and also was split from her buddy pair because of this. We totally understand why the group was managed this way, and grouped together for the fish feeding, but it was the worst snorkel experience I've ever had on any trip, due to the large group. As an outdoor instructor, working with groups internationally, and risk assessing activities in extreme environments, I would have managed this activity differently. I would have appreciated a smaller group in the water even if this meant waiting on the boat for an hour while another group completed their swim, and having less beach time, or even splitting lunch sittings.
    That's a gripe about a small part of a very lovely day and I'd still recommend the trip to others with no question. Thanks for a great experience.

    So much fun! Boom netting from the back of the boat was very exciting. Snorkelling around the wrecks off Tangalooma was just amazing. So many varieties of fish and coral. Staff were fantastic. Food delicious. Couldn’t ask for a better day on Moreton Bay.

    The staff are knowledgeable and personable taking very good care of us and ensuring all our needs were met.

    The good is delicious and plentiful.
    We saw whales, dolphins, turtles fish and sea birds... spectacular.

    The snorkeling is very well run and safety checks undertaken.

    We had the best day. The trip is so well organised and the weather was perfect. Snorkeling at the wrecks was a surprise having grown up in Brisbane I did not realise the diversity of our fish. I recommend this trip as good value for money and the hospitality of the crew was great
