Brisbane
Here is my shortlist of Moreton Island day trips and overnights, most of them built around the Tangalooma Wrecks. Fifteen ships were sunk on purpose just off the beach, and snorkelling over them is the best easy reef access near Brisbane.

Discover the full-day adventure from Brisbane to Moreton Island featuring snorkeling, kayaking, sand tobogganing, and 4WD tours—all guided and packed with fun.
