A must-experience snorkeling trip 🤩👏🏻 It's easy to take a boat to Modeng Island, enjoy the sun and beach, experience snorkeling, and witness many marine life including dolphins and turtles! The boat company also provides pick-up and drop-off services in the city, which is suitable for families and tourists who do not rent a car. The yacht is very new and large. There are also some refreshments to enjoy and some cold lunch platters when boarding. Snorkeling activities are conducted in groups. Under the guidance of professionals, we experienced nearly 45 minutes of snorkeling near the shipwreck area! Highly recommended 😍 (I even thought it was too short). Along the way, our instructors will also explain to us and help everyone find different marine life! Very worth a try!

The day before the activity, you will receive an email from the travel agency informing you of the meeting time and location. Upon check-in, the travel agency staff will collect the ferry fee (AUD 80 per person, payable in cash or by credit card on-site) and attach a colored sticker to your hand (there are four colors in total for this group, with approximately 20 to 30 people per color). The trip from the Gold Coast to Brisbane takes about an hour. After picking up another group of passengers in Brisbane, the bus will head to the ferry terminal to board a 90-minute ferry to Moreton Island. The scenery on the island is beautiful! After disembarking, two color groups will head to the desert first, one color group will go to the beach for snorkeling, and one color group will go to the beach for kayaking. There will be a brief explanation of how to put on the equipment and a safety briefing on the shore. Kayaks are for two people. When the kayak slides next to the Tangalooma Wrecks, the instructor will distribute flatbreads to each boat. When the flatbread is thrown into the water, the fish will come over to eat. Because the kayak is transparent, you can clearly see the fish underwater, which is a very special experience. After kayaking, everyone will put on the same equipment and be taken in groups of six on a small boat with a floating board to the Tangalooma Wrecks. Put your head down and put your goggles in the water, and you can see many, many small fish swimming around. Getting up close and personal with marine life is really fun. The snorkeling equipment is very complete, so you don't have to worry about getting cut by the reefs. After playing in the water, there will be a 20-minute lunch break. It's a buffet, and the table will have flatbreads, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, meat and various sauces, so you can make your own tacos. There will be cold drinking water and sunscreen available next to the table. After eating, a large bus will take you to the desert area for sandboarding. The bus will play enthusiastic music, which is a special experience with the shaking of the bus. I was originally worried that my hair would be wet from playing in the water and that I would easily catch a cold on the long journey back to the Gold Coast, but I didn't expect my hair to be almost dry after sunbathing in the desert. After arriving in the desert, the leader will distribute a wooden board to each person. Everyone takes their own board to the sand dune and then slides down on the board. Each person will have 1-2 chances, and then take the bus back to the ferry boarding area. The bus will provide ice water for you to fill your own water bottles. After returning to the Tangalooma Wrecks, you can play in the water again. After the single-ticket passengers and vehicles have boarded the ferry, the group-ticket passengers can board. Because the group ticket price is lower, it is basically difficult to find a seat with a table when boarding. But after playing all day, you will be hungry on the boat, so if possible, you can prepare and bring your own fruits, biscuits, and other foods that can be eaten without a table, so you won't be hungry while watching others eat. Drinking water is not provided on the boat, so you must also prepare enough drinking water. In addition, because this is a tourist attraction visited by travelers from all over the world, you should also pay special attention to cultural differences. Some white cultures may use multiple bags and place them on multiple benches, which means that these benches may be used by someone in their group later. This is different from Chinese culture, where one item represents one person. Be careful not to sit on chairs that have already been reserved by someone else, otherwise you may easily get yelled at, since white people are still the majority on the boat.

We had a wonderful experience on the Koala Cruise to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. I’d like to commend Roby and the two crew members for their exceptional service throughout the trip. The commentaries were both informational and interesting, and aside from the trip itself, the views of Brisbane and its suburbs along the river were also exceptional. I also appreciated the lounge area, which was perfect for having snacks while traveling to and from the sanctuary. Highly recommended!

Although this is cheaper and flexible, it's inconvenient to push heavy luggages for transferring by train and tram. When visiting, there was track closure and I had to take additional bus in-between closed stations. It took me almost 3 hours to reach my hotel in Surfers Paradise. Try this if you are not in a rush. Value for money.

Arrived very quickly. Unfortunately, we arrived later in the day, and the buses only ran every half hour, so we had to wait almost another half hour. It would be better if the buses ran more frequently.

My flight and baggage were delayed by 1 hour, and the driver still waited for me, despite being the only passenger that booked this service. He was very friendly and the travel was very quick and easy.

it's sad that the photos could only be taken by the guide and we could only capture the amaing sight by eyes. But the guide is super informative and introduce well about the Brisbane geography and the fun facts and history related to the story bridge. Worth trying! Good safety and stable equipment.
