It was a fun and informative experience. My two nephews especially loved the driving experience. Adults might find it a little boring.

It was indeed a great experience for my husband and myself. Thanks to the friendly and experienced staffs who made tour journey become safe and fun. Sand boarding is a must go! Kayaking and snorkeling you cannot miss as the staff will explain to you the story about the shipwreck and the marine life in Moreton Island. Thank you Sunset Safari and the staffs.

Service: The ferry crew was very friendly, and the facilities and catered food were great. The snorkeling equipment was all washed and clean. Value for money: When I booked, I thought it was a bit pricey, but considering the facilities and itinerary, it seems like a very cost-effective tour.

The small plane was very smooth! The scenery was beautiful! The Japanese tour guide was very nice! Saw a lot of manta rays and sea turtles! Very spectacular! Although it was cold in winter! But the wetsuit worked! Very worthwhile.

A popular local singer. The dinner was excellent. The night scenery was magnificent! In 2.5 hours, you have time to dine quietly and enjoy the ride. Depending on the weather, it's possible to go to the upper deck; it's great for a 360° view and also to take photos. I highly recommend it.

I was debating between SeaWorld and this, but I'm glad I chose this because our group was small and we could see the whales up close. The captain's explanations and the friendly staff were great. I also appreciated that they approached the whales in a way that respected their habits, ensuring neither the boat nor the whales were harmed, which allowed us to see magnificent whale displays. I almost arrived late, but thank you for meeting me out front.

This was a great cruise with amazing views and delicious food. The meeting point was a bit difficult to find, and I got a little lost, so I think it would be helpful to have a photo of the meeting location. The meeting point is Appel Park, and the ferry departs from the ferry terminal located there. As long as you are in the park, you won't miss it. The food is excellent in both quantity and quality, so be sure to try a variety of dishes.
