Snorkelling Tour – Dive into the Underwater Wonders of Moreton Island
Experience the magic beneath the surface with Tangatours’ Snorkelling Tour—a captivating marine adventure set amidst the crystal-clear waters of Moreton Bay. Whether you’re a first-time snorkeller or a seasoned explorer, this tour offers an unforgettable opportunity to swim alongside vibrant fish, coral formations, and historic shipwrecks that teem with marine life.
Located at the iconic Tangalooma Wrecks, this underwater playground is one of Australia’s most unique and accessible snorkelling spots. With calm, shallow waters and abundant marine biodiversity, it’s the perfect place to get up close to nature and soak in the serenity of the sea.
Discover the Tangalooma Wrecks
The Tangalooma Wrecks are a cluster of 15 sunken ships deliberately placed to form a breakwall for small boats. Over the decades, they’ve become a haven for marine life, coral colonies, and curious snorkellers. These rusted hulls now host over 200 species of fish, turtles, stingrays, and even dolphins and dugongs on occasion.
The wrecks sit in shallow water near the beach, offering a snorkelling experience that combines historical intrigue with natural beauty. Visibility is often excellent, especially during the calmer months, allowing you to fully appreciate the intricate reef structures and swarming fish life.
