Beautiful Broughton

Published on Feb, 2025

Had a fantastic trip to Broughton Island last Sunday. We were lucky to have a lovely sunny day. the island beaches were gorgeous and great swimming and snorkeling. The whole trip was well organised, on time and well run. The picnic lunch was more than enough and very tasty. The crew were informative and friendly and extremely kind and helpful to my friend who was feeling unwell. On return voyage we saw dolphins, sharks and a seal. Would highly recommend this and I would go again next week if I could! Many thanks to the crew.

Bloody awesome experience!

Published on Feb, 2025

This is a must do cruise. We saw common, bottle nose and false dolphins + 2 separate pods of stingrays, something we will never forget. Josh was an amazing tour guide he pointed out where the dolphins and rays were where in the water + where to snorkel to find the turtles he was incredibly passionate about his job and it showed, he even collected rubbish from the island to dispose of into the bins. We would recommend this cruise to any water/nature lover its was a slice of heaven. Bloody ripping Moonshadow tours!

A great day out

Published on Jan, 2025

This was a great day out for the family, everyone loved it. The lunch was nice and the staff were great. I regret not bringing shade as we walked over the island (0.5km) to the best beach but there was no shade but we still had a great swim etc. The walk is easy. I wore sneakers, my daughter wore CROCS, my husband wore thongs and he even walked back bare foot. We had a hot day which I think you need to fully enjoy it.

Broughton Island Tour - so good!

Published on Jan, 2025

We went on the Broughton Island Tour in Jan 2025 with 2 adults and 2 kids aged 6 and 8, and had the best time!! It was well worth the $350ish for an unforgettable experience. The highlights were: - so many dolphin sightings - the kids giggling away in the boom net - snorkeling off the main beach with lots of colorful fish and a sting ray sighting - the commentary from the Capitan and sunny disposition of the crew Something to be cautious of (which is not the fault of the tour company), is the new parking restrictions and costs around the area. It cost us $35 to park in the closest 9hr carpark. A lot of the parking spots nearby are 4hr ones. Make sure you plan ahead of time.

Amazing crew. Fabulous experience

Published on Dec, 2024

Had the most amazing time on the Broughton Island cruise. Such a fun experience and it is a beautiful little island. What made it that much more enjoyable were the fabulous crew. Josh, Matt and Jared were so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Would highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
