Stradbroke Island

Tour overview

Tangalooma Island, located on the western coast of Moreton Island just a short ferry ride from Brisbane, is one of Queensland’s most beloved coastal escapes. Known for its pristine natural beauty, turquoise waters, and abundance of marine life, Tangalooma offers visitors the perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and wildlife encounters. The island is best recognized for its wild dolphin feeding experience, where guests can hand-feed bottlenose dolphins at sunset – a rare and unforgettable opportunity that has made Tangalooma world famous.

Beyond the dolphins, Tangalooma is home to an incredible array of activities. The island’s highlight attractions include snorkeling and diving around the Tangalooma Wrecks, a cluster of 15 sunken ships that have formed a vibrant artificial reef teeming with tropical fish, sea turtles, and even the occasional dugong. Adventure seekers can enjoy quad biking across sand dunes, parasailing, jet skiing, whale watching cruises (seasonal), kayaking in glass-bottom boats, and sand tobogganing down the towering dunes. For those who prefer a slower pace, Tangalooma’s calm beaches and crystal-clear waters provide the perfect setting for swimming, paddleboarding, or simply soaking up the sun.

Tangalooma Island Resort serves as the heart of the experience, offering a wide range of accommodations from budget-friendly hotel rooms to luxurious beachfront villas. The resort features multiple dining options, bars, and leisure facilities while still maintaining a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. With its unique blend of natural wonder, adventure-filled activities, and eco-conscious tourism, Tangalooma Island is not just a day trip from Brisbane but a destination in itself. Whether you’re seeking marine encounters, adrenaline-packed adventures, or a tranquil island escape, Tangalooma delivers an experience that showcases the very best of Queensland’s coastal lifestyle.
