Paddle over the Tangalooma Wrecks after dark as bioluminescent plankton light the water electric blue beneath your kayak — one of Queensland's most otherworldly after-sunset experiences.
What to expect
Launching from the resort beach under a canopy of stars, you paddle in a tight group toward the silhouettes of the sunken fleet. Dipping your paddle creates trails of cold blue light as bioluminescent plankton scatter. Your guide pauses over the most dramatic hull formations and uses an underwater torch to reveal cuttlefish and sleeping parrotfish. The return paddle, with the resort lights glowing ahead and open ocean on the horizon, has the quality of a dream. This is the hour Moreton Island reveals its most secret self.
Good to know
Night kayak tours typically depart around 7–8 pm; check your ship's all-aboard time carefully, as this excursion is best suited to ships with a later evening departure or overnight anchor. Life vests and torches are provided. Book directly with Tangalooma Resort well in advance — this tour sells out quickly and group sizes are strictly limited.
