You kick off at Pier B on the Gold Coast as engines chuff and the ocean pulls the horizon forward. Waves dare you to find rhythm; the wind presses a cool hand to your face as a string of Sea‑Doos cross the bay. Over ten hours the tour covers about 230 km of open water and island edges — a long day of speed, salt, and sight.

Wildlife
History
The Tangalooma Wrecks were deliberately scuttled in the mid‑20th century to create a protective breakwall and now form a reef habitat popular with snorkelers. Moreton Island itself is a large sand island built by longshore drift and wind over millennia.
Conservation
Operators advise reef‑safe sunscreens, no feeding of wildlife, and staying clear of seagrass beds where dugongs feed to minimize disturbance to vulnerable marine habitats.

Hydrate before and during the trip
Bring a 1–2L hydration pack or bottle; sustained sun and wind increase dehydration on long open-water runs.
Wear reef-safe sun protection
Use SPF 50+ sunscreen and a long-sleeve rash guard to protect against UV and spray; guides may enforce skin coverage.
Secure loose items
Use a dry bag and sunglasses retainer — anything loose can be lost in a wash of spray or a sharp turn.
Know your seasickness plan
Take preventative medication if prone to seasickness; rougher patches and long hours increase risk.
Reef‑safe sunscreen (SPF 50+)
Protects skin from strong subtropical sun and minimizes harm to marine life.
