Have you ever been on a 22m Supercat and thought “You know what would be fun? Being dragged behind in a net!” Boom netting is the ultimate thrill-seekers experience and is ultimately just like a mobile spa bath – but in the Moreton Bay Marine Park! Riding securely in a boom net on the back of Dolphin Wild’s vessel, this summer activity is a great alternative to the cliché swimming, snorkelling and diving that one might normally do and is suitable for all ages.
Locals of the Moreton Bay Region may not realise it, but the opportunity to drive on the beach is not all that common - that's why G'Day Adventure Tours exists! So, if you’ve got visitors for the summer, why not take them for a beach four-wheel-drive experience out on Bribie Island? Head to Woorim Ocean Beach and explore the World War II Bunkers at Fort Bribie, take a dip in one of three lagoons, go fishing or surfing, and maybe even camp at the inland track!
