Cruise
the waters surrounding Moreton Island - View Dolphins,
Whales, Wrecks...
Our eco-adventure includes
discovering the spectacular beauty, wildlife and crystal
clear waters of Moreton Island. Moreton Bay Marine
Park is home to many marine animals - Bottlenose and
Indo Pacific humpback dolphins are in abundance, the
rare and shy dugong enjoys grazing on Moreton Bay
sea grass meadows, and the Humpback Whales even travel
on their annual migration through the marine park.
Marine turtles (Logerhead & Green) love these
spectacular waters, and other marine life such as
rays, sub-tropical fish and marine invertebrates are
all home in Moreton Bays Marine Park also - if you
do the guided snorkelling tour you may even meet the
resident wobbegong.
The
cruise embarks on a beautiful scenic Island cruise
on board the 42 foot power catamaran"Mahi Mahi",
which boards from Redcliffe Jetty. The cruise commences
with a short safety induction then shortly after departs
for the crystal waters of Moreton Island. Travelling
from Northern Moreton to the Tangalooma Wrecks, a
detailed on board commentary by a knowledgeable crew
member will take place.
During the cruise the passengers delight in the breathtaking
unspoiled scenery that Moreton Bay Marine Park and
Moreton Island has to offer. Morning tea is served,
and a very informative commentary is delivered. Marine
animals such as dolphins, dugongs and turtles have
all made their home in this beautiful environment.
On the hot days those
wanting to try their hand in boom-netting, can get
involved in this fun and exciting activity - its sure
to refresh!. At the arrival of Tangalooma Wrecks,
you can have a good look at the wrecks and its inhabitants.
A myriad of fish have made the wrecks their home and
surround the boat on arrival. Whilst lunch is served
you can view the fish and coral or even try you hand
at fishing. Lunch consists of a tropical buffet with
seafood - PRAWNS, CRABS, all included - and its all
fresh and locally supplied. There is also fresh chicken,
salads, bread and fruit - certainly a lunch to remember!.
After lunch enjoy those white sandy beaches and dunes
of the island, take a dip in the crystal blue waters,
take the optional snorkeling tour or just relax!.
There is much more than words can describe ........Enjoy!!!
