Wonderful experience. As I was traveling with younger kids, some activities might not have been perfectly suitable for them. But generally, I'm happy to take them back again when they grow up.

Went to Moreton Island years ago in a small 4x4. Enjoyed that tour more as it allowed for more freedom of activity.

If you are skittish about water activities this is a great tour for you. If you are more comfortable with snorkeling and kayaking and like more freedom this is less enjoyable.

The tour is relatively large with a 4x4 bus. Novel, but many other visitors to contend with.

The sand dune activity had a wonderful and helpful tour guide. 5 stars on him. Going down the sand dune requires good core strength (Superman pose - elbows up and out, back legs lifted while laying on stomach- for several seconds) to ride down successfully. It’s work to climb back up the dune so if fitness is an issue, this will be a hard one.

The see through kayaking is tandem so if you’re in an odd group number or traveling alone you may ride with another person or tour guide. I was with a tour guide. He was more focused (rightfully) on guiding the group so it felt like I was conscripted as a backseater to a guide and less fun. You cannot go off on your own.

The snorkeling was guided as well and again not allowed to go on your own so less fun. The lifeguard on the jet ski was preoccupied on her mobile fun and seemed quite distracted. Even during the line to get back on the ferry.

The trip is designed for safety which is awesome so again this tour is good for beginners.

Overall, the staff was polite but all seemed pretty distracted.

We had a great time with Viator. Our trip began with a ferry ride from the Port of Brisbane, for which we had to pay an additional $70, including national park fees (as mentioned in their description), along with on-site parking of $20 (which is available if you arrive early - we arrived 30 minutes early). The advertised time for catching the ferry at Port of Brisbane was 7:30 AM, but after booking, the confirmation email stated the time to be 9:45 AM, for which we received multiple reminders as well.

We started our day with lunch. They provided wraps with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian filling options, which we could fill ourselves. Our first activity was kayaking, which was a bit challenging for us as we were new to it. Navigating a kayak with strong waves, wrecks, snorkelers, and other kayaking people from another group was not easy.

The next activity was snorkelling, which was fun. They provided us with a wetsuit, snorkelling gear, and a life jacket. Being a non-swimmer, it was challenging at first, but as I got into the process, it became enjoyable.

Our third activity was sandboarding, for which we had to catch a 4WD bus. We had very little time to change our clothes, use the toilets, etc. It started drizzling as we reached the dunes, and there were no toilets at the sand-boarding spot. As it drizzled, the sand became wet. They gave us wooden boards, which were getting stuck in the sand and were not slipping over the sand (probably due to the wet sand). They also had a very limited number of plastic boards, and we were taking turns using them. It would be great if they could replace the wooden boards with the plastic ones.

Overall, the experience was good, since we did all of these activities for the first time. We would recommend it to others.

The experience was fantastic, with a plethora of exciting activities. However, the 1.5-hour bus ride from the Gold Coast to Brisbane, and back, was slightly inconvenient due to the freezing bus air conditioning. Despite repeatedly asking the driver to turn it off, it remained on throughout the journey.

Overall, this trip was kind of unorganized and the group I was with felt rushed the whole time we were here. We spent more time traveling there than any actual activities. You do each thing for about 20 minutes even though they said it’d be about 45 min. Overall, it was not worth the price as you really don’t have time to do much or see anything. I felt like the sand boarding is also unnecessary as you only get to ride down about 2 times and it just cuts so much into the snorkeling and kayaking. We did see some cool fish and the staff was very nice but I also felt like I couldn’t really explore because I was trying to keep up with the tour guide since they were rushing us to get done with the activities. I know they were trying to save time and have us get to everything but maybe it’d be better if we could pick 1 or 2 of the activities out of the 3. Also, they don’t make it super clear in the booking that you have to pay $70 in addition to the $189 price for the national park fee. I didn’t realize this until after I had already booked and some others on the trip didn’t know until we were already at the pickup location. I think there are better options that are cheaper and you would get more bang for your buck, this was just very overpriced!

It was a very good experience. The staff were all very nice and patiently taught us how to sandboard, snorkel, and kayak. During sandboarding, one of the staff even helped us wax the board, which was a great touch. While snorkeling, since my friend and I are not good swimmers, one staff member stayed by our side to protect us throughout. I'm really grateful to him; although I don't know his name, I remember he wore an anklet. We would have been at a loss without him. All in all, it was a really nice trip!
