5.00The whole day was fantastic. Friendly crew who went out of their way to assist in all matters, extremely knowledgeable about the marine life and environment of Moreton Island, healthy lunch, and a comfortable transfer to and from the island. Highly recommend.

5.00Our snorkelling trip yesterday went above and beyond our expectations! Grace, Jake and Mick were excellent hosts and great at making cocktails! Having drinks delivered to you on the beach by someone in the tender while you have a mini tournament of cornhole was next level service and we were living our best below deck lives. The snorkelling through the wrecks was spectacular and was so much fun having someone so knowledgeable and experienced guide us through and find cool things to show us. We couldn’t believe the abundance of life that we saw, way more fish than we’ve ever seen on other reef trips. It really was such a wonderful day and would recommend to anyone!! Might even have to go again sometime 😁
Personalized Service and Attention to Detail.

5.00I recently went on the Dolphin Wild Eco Tour with my husband and had a truly marvellous day. It was such a well organised trip that offered the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. The wildlife sightings were a major highlight! We saw such a variety of fish and a sea Eagle! We were lucky enough to spot a pod of dolphins that came right up to the boat as well as a massive bait ball of fish! The crew’s knowledge of the local ecosystem was very impressive. The snorkelling trip was a fantastic all round experience, the water was clear whilst snorkelling and the marine life up close was so cool. To top it all off, enjoying cocktails on the beach at Moreton Island was perfect! The lunch provided was fresh and delicious, as a vegetarian I felt the crew went out of their way to ensure I was looked after as well. I couldn't have asked for a better day out on the water. Highly recommended!
Avoid this operator – Captain’s poor management ruined a family trip

2.00Moreton Island is a 5-star destination, but this specific tour was a disaster due to the Captain’s complete lack of organization and professionalism. While the crew seemed to be doing their best to follow orders, the leadership at the top made the experience stressful and frustrating. Our issues began with a strange booking discrepancy. We paid for 5 people (3 adults, 2 kids), but only 3 of us snorkeled. When I asked the Captain to use one of my own unused, paid-for slots, he flatly refused, claiming the boat was "fully booked." This is highly concerning—it suggests that had my entire family chosen to snorkel, the Captain would not have had the space or equipment to accommodate a booking he had already accepted. The worst part of the day was being abandoned. After snorkeling at 11:00 AM, the Captain had us dropped on a beach and seemingly forgot about us. We sat there for an hour with no food or water, watching the tender and jet ski ferry other groups around under the Captain’s direction. By 12:45 PM, my children were starving. I finally had to swim back to the boat myself just to get the Captain’s attention. Rather than taking responsibility for the oversight, the Captain was incredibly rude, blaming me for "not being patient" and telling me they were busy. His attitude was unacceptable; when we finally got back to the boat, the crew was already throwing lunch into the trash. If I hadn’t swam out to intervene, the Captain’s poor scheduling would have left my family with nothing to eat. The location is beautiful, but I cannot recommend a tour where the person in charge shows such a blatant disregard for guest safety and basic courtesy.
Perfect day!

5.00The crew were amazing… so enthusiastic and happy. They were helpful and ran the day perfectly. They set up cabanas on the beach and had various beach equipment available for us. They ferried passengers to and from the beach regularly and came around to let us know when lunch was so that we didn’t miss out. It was a perfect day!
Plenty of sea life, snorkel in the wrecks and cocktails on the beach!!!

5.00A great day out with the family! Fresh lunch, aaamazing snorkel in the wrecks. Saw turtles, 1000's of fish and the crew had plenty of knowledge to share of the abundance of sea life. We had lunch and headed to the beach where we played games they provided and they even brought us cocktails! Highly recommended!
A fantastic day out !

5.00Booking was simple, checkin was smooth and we were soon organised with wetsuits. The boat was comfortable, and the snacks and food were excellent. The crew were great ! We snorkelled the wrecks and saw lots of fish, then played on the sandhill, and finally had a stunning dolphin experience with about 12 dolphins playing around the boat. It was a wonderful day. Highly recommended.
