This is the shortlist we would send a mate: the 13 1-day tours worth booking, each with its price, its traveller verdict, and the one thing to know before you commit.
Full-day Moreton Island from Brisbane: guided snorkelling and transparent kayak over Tangalooma wrecks, plus 4WD and sand tobogganing.
“Extremely fun! The time flew by in a whizz - definitely worth doing. Darcy, Will, Alan and everyone else made it a great day.”
Moreton Island by 4WD from Brisbane or the Gold Coast with transparent kayaking, wreck snorkeling, and sandboarding plus lunch.
“Good tour but three activities felt like a bit much. I would drop the kayaking and have more time snorkeling or swimming.”
Brisbane to Moreton Island day trip with Tangalooma Resort access, a guided ATV quad tour, lunch voucher, and dolphin presentation.
“The access to the resort facilities was amazing and the ATV’s were a great combination of sightseeing and fun!”
Snorkel the Tangalooma Wrecks from Brisbane with resort pool access, lunch, and a dolphin eco talk on Moreton Island.
“The staff, boat, and equipment was amazing. Tangalooma is a great place with lots to do. I went on the shipwreck snorkel tour. My only comment is that it was shorter than I had hoped for. This is probably to account for all levels of fitness and ages. That being said, amazing staff, amazing experience, amazing value for cost. Would highly recommend.”
Brisbane to Australia Zoo with hotel pickup, air-conditioned transport, and included admission for an easy day of animals and shows.
“Australia Zoo is amazingly well kept and clean. The staff was super friendly, and the animals were active and “engaged” compared to other zoos where animals were very lethargic. The highlight was definitely Robert Irwin and the show at Crocoseum.”
A small-group, air-conditioned day trip from Brisbane to Byron Bay, Bangalow and the Gold Coast for lighthouse views, coffee and free time.
“It was fun trip ,and we got to see lots of the sights but be prepare to do abit of walking in heat up and down bendy paths near cliff but beautifull . Trevor our tour guy is a very funny and nice man ,he made the day fun , thank you travor”
Brisbane to Noosa and the Sunshine Coast Hinterland in one day. Air-conditioned comfort, guided stops at Montville, Eumundi Markets, and Noosa.
“Our guide was very nice and informative but when i arrived the morning of the tour he informed me that we would not be stopping at the Ginger factory. That was my main reason for booking and that is what i was looking forward to the most. I saw the umbrella installation and really wanted to see it. This was dishonest and definitely a bait switch. You can’t trust them to honor their itinerary”
Brisbane to Moreton Island day trip with Tangalooma resort access, 4WD Desert Safari and sand tobogganing, plus lunch and dolphin video.
“Excursion très agréable. Si vous vous déplacez en transport en commun prévoyez un temps suffisamment long pour se rendre jusqu'à la marina. Ce prix comprend le déplacement en ferry. La luge sur sable est activité très sympa, même si le sable colle partout.”
Brisbane to Moreton Island for a 3-hour humpback whale cruise, Eco Ranger talks, and Tangalooma resort day-pass access.
“Wonderful day, lunch was beautiful. Lots of whales, friendly staff and informed commentary.”
North Stradbroke Island day trip from Brisbane with ferry rides, dolphins, koalas, cliff walks, and Cylinder Beach swim time.
“Well organized tour. Our guide Ivy is great, taking care of EVERYONE! Smooth ferry crossing. Beautiful coastline scenery during the fairly easy gorge walk. Sightings of wild kangaroos and koalas made our day! Please take this tour if you have a day to spend in Brisbane!”
A 4WD Stradbroke Island day trip from Brisbane with ferry, wildlife stops, beach BBQ lunch, and small-group off-road exploring.
“Had an excellent time with Barefoot Dave on Sunday. He’s so nice and we saw so many lovely things. Highlights were the Brown Lake and the swim at Flinders Beach, which was pristine and perfect. Dave was funny and informative. Highly recommend.”
Bribie Island day trip from Brisbane with G’Day Adventure Tours: 4WD beach ride, tea-tree lagoon swim, Fort Bribie WWII, wildlife.
“Cool and relaxed staff, was really nice ! Thank you”
Moreton Island from Brisbane with resort access and a Marine Discovery Cruise, plus Eco Ranger talks and a dolphin video at the Eco Center.
“The tour was over-rated and expensive. The Marine Discovery cruise was a waste of time and money. We hardly spotted any marine life except for some fishes during fish-feeding. The commentary on the boat was hardly audible n clear as there was no speaker system used. The ship wreck was a mediocre experience. One must enjoy it only through snorkeling or heli-tour. The food options for vegetarians was good.”
See Brisbane highlights in one relaxed private half-day with Mount Coot-tha views, koalas at Lone Pine, and South Bank plus Queen Street Mall.
“Gary was a wonderful, generous guide. We had a great tour with him and recommend him very highly. Gary went out of his way to understand our interests and customized the tour accordingly. He also gave us great recommendations for things to see beyond our tour. If you have the opportunity, book Gary for your guide in the Brisbane area!”
