Explore the Tangalooma Wrecks from a New Perspective

Tangalooma Wrecks Tour
The Tangalooma Wrecks are one of the most iconic features of Moreton Island. Originally sunk to create a breakwall, these fifteen sunken vessels have become home to a thriving artificial reef system. On our Glass Bottom Boat Tour, you’ll glide over these historic wrecks and witness how nature has reclaimed them, now hosting a colourful array of marine species.
Expect to see:
  • Large schools of vibrant tropical fish
  • Coral formations growing on rusted hulls
  • Sea turtles gracefully swimming through the wrecks
  • Occasionally, dolphins or dugongs cruising the area
Our guides provide detailed commentary about the history of the wrecks, marine biodiversity, and efforts to protect this stunning underwater habitat.
