City convenience meets a sand-island marine park of wrecks, reefs, and whale-season lookouts
Key fee: Moreton Bay Marine Park access
No fee (rules apply)
Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
Australia does not use a destination-specific tourism levy or a per-diver marine park tag for Moreton Bay. There is no general entry fee to snorkel or dive in Moreton Bay Marine Park, but you must follow zoning and designated-area rules. If you plan to drive or camp on Moreton Island, permits and bookings are required, and peak-season availability can sell out.
