- 00:09 Getting from Brisbane to Moreton Island was a bit hectic, but thankfully Victoria
- 00:15 was able to get us all up and get us all excited, and on the ferry on time.
- 00:19 >> Good morning, we're leaving to Moreton Island.
- 00:23 >> It's a good morning.
- 00:24 >> It's a really good morning.
- 00:26 [MUSIC]
- 00:32 >> Driving that Jeep through that sand was a little rough that morning, but very fun.
- 00:40 As soon as we got to the island, we went and set up camp and then we went off for
- 00:43 our first adventure which was snorkeling at the wrecks.
- 00:46 [MUSIC]
- 00:52 >> [INAUDIBLE] We're about to go snorkeling at the wrecks.
- 00:56 The guy just explained to us how the currents are so
- 00:59 that we know exactly where to go.
- 01:01 I'm excited to check out the fish tanks inside of the wrecks.
- 01:04 There should be lots of marine life there.
- 01:07 Try to keep up.
- 01:08 [MUSIC]
- 01:11 Moreton Island is really well known for its shipwrecks.
- 01:14 I believe there were about four in a row that we went and snorkeled through.
- 01:18 [MUSIC]
- 01:25 They attract a lot of marine life.
- 01:27 As soon as you get there it's just full of color and tons of different fish.
- 01:32 [MUSIC]
- 01:53 I like this a little better than scuba diving.
- 01:56 >> Me too.
- 01:56 [INAUDIBLE] We don't have to, we don't have to [INAUDIBLE].
- 01:59 >> It's a lot different from scuba diving because you feel a lot more free, I think.
- 02:04 You don't feel so weighed down by all the equipment.
- 02:07 And also you feel a lot more in control.
- 02:09 You get to dictate when you come up, and how quickly you move, and
- 02:14 it's also a lot more fast paced.
- 02:17 [MUSIC]
- 02:23 We saw a bird hunting.
- 02:24 Which was really fun to follow around.
- 02:27 The bird was just gliding through the water.
- 02:29 It was the craziest thing to see.
- 02:31 [MUSIC]
- 02:55 Whoo. [MUSIC]
- 03:03 Back to shore.
- 03:04 [MUSIC]
- 03:08 How was it?
- 03:11 >> Amazing.
- 03:12 Very nice.
- 03:12 >> Beautiful.
- 03:15 >> It was a lot better than I thought it was gonna be, great.
- 03:18 >> It was absolutely stunning, I can't believe how much life was down there.
- 03:23 Overall I think snorkeling has been the highlight of
- 03:25 my Moreton Island experience so far.
- 03:28 And we're also gonna go stand up paddle boarding so I'll see you guys there.
