Ultimate Jetski Adventure from Gold Coast to Tangalooma Wrecks

Embark on Australia's longest jetski tour, an exhilarating 230-kilometer ride from the Gold Coast to Moreton Island's spectacular Tangalooma Wrecks. This full-day expedition starts at Sanctuary Cove Superyacht Marina in Hope Island, Queensland, where riders receive a safety briefing and set off on powerful Sea-Doo GTX PRO jet skis equipped with Bluetooth speakers. The journey begins through twisting mangrove passages and under shifting sand cliffs along the dramatic Canaipa Passage, offering riders a captivating blend of sheltered waterways and open sea.

As you carve your way through Moreton Bay, a protected marine zone renowned for its rich biodiversity, your guide will choose a stop either at Dunwich, Amity Point, or Kooringal Gutter to relax and refuel. The real highlight awaits further north: the Big Sandhills, towering dunes sculpted over time by the winds that rise up to 60 meters above the bay’s turquoise waters. Climbing these enormous sand formations rewards you with sweeping panoramic views of Moreton Island and the surrounding bay.

Next, venture into the famed Tangalooma Wrecks. Here, a cluster of sunken ships has been transformed into an artificial reef teeming with vibrant coral, colorful tropical fish, sea turtles, dolphins, and even the elusive dugong. This remarkable marine habitat provides one of the best snorkel spots in the region, and the chance to witness marine life in their natural environment is unforgettable.

After an awe-inspiring exploration, return south to enjoy a well-earned island lunch at the Straddie Brewing Co’s rooftop restaurant, where the relaxed atmosphere and local flavors make a perfect meal break before the ride back to Hope Island.

This adventure is a standout offering in Queensland's outdoor recreation scene, combining the thrill of a long-distance jetski ride with immersive wildlife encounters and breathtaking coastal landscapes. Offering something for adrenaline seekers and nature lovers alike, the tour highlights the unique coastal ecosystem of Moreton Bay and the cultural history embedded in the Tangalooma Wrecks — once deliberate ship scuttles to create a safe haven for marine life.

With a duration of 8 to 10 hours, this moderately challenging tour requires a reasonable level of fitness but no specific technical skills beyond a safety briefing and age requirements (drivers must be 16+). It’s an ideal way to experience Moreton Island from a perspective few visitors get to see while respecting the region’s environment through guided, responsible tourism. Whether you’re chasing adventure, interested in marine wildlife, or seeking a memorable day on the water, this jetski expedition delivers a unique Australian coastal adventure.
