Care for our Marine Life and Eco initiatives
Tangatours is committed to providing unique marine experiences that are ecologically sustainable for the protection of our natural environment and the greater global environment.
As an ECO Certified business, Tangatours joins a leading community of tourism operators recognised for delivering exceptional, sustainable nature-based experiences that are deeply respectful of the environment and local communities.
Climate change is having a growing impact on our marine ecosystems. Tangatours is committed to operating responsibly within this environment to help protect Moreton Island’s unique marine ecosystems for future generations, through education, careful operational planning, and ongoing review of our practices.
Tangatours are proud to partner with Greenfleet, a non-profit organisation that offsets carbon emissions. As all emissions from our vessels are offset, our operations are carbon neutral.
Tangatours is also proud to be a part of PADI project-aware programs and conducts regular beach and dive clean-ups.
Please help us by respecting the marine and national parks we operate. By looking after the environment, we can ensure it can remain healthy and continue to be shared with others in the future.
We acknowledge that the protected areas on Mulgumpin (Moreton Island) will be transferred back to Traditional Owners after the Palaszczuk Government passes landmark legislation on the date 13-05-2021. Everything we do on the island should respect the Elders’ past and present.
If you’re looking for a more relaxed way to get out on the water, our clear bottom kayak tours and informative sightseeing cruises are sure to float your boat.
Climb aboard our clear bottom kayaks for a unique way to experience the splendour beneath the surface without the need to dive in. Paddling in pairs, you’ll embark on a peaceful guided tour to explore the surrounding waters of the Tangalooma shipwrecks. Your kayak’s unique transparent bottom provides a window into the clear waters, teaming with a vast assortment of tropical and sub-tropical fish species and corals. You may also happen to encounter larger marine wildlife, such as dolphins, dugongs and turtles which are known to inhabit the area.
Alternatively, our ever-popular Marine Discovery Cruise or Fish Feeding and Wreck Tour offer informative audio commentary about the island, wrecks and resident marine life, with the possibility of cruising alongside some of our most loved marine animals such as sea turtles, dolphins, and dugongs. These tours are conducted in a specially constructed touring boat complete shaded seating areas and glass bottom viewing pods for an enhanced sightseeing experience. You’ll also be offered the opportunity to participate in an interactive fish feeding session from the comfort of our vessel.
