Tangalooma 4025 QLD
(Moreton Island, off Brisbane, Queensland)
Map not available
Only 75 minutes from Brisbane, over 75 tours and activities!
So beautiful, so accessible, yet you’ll feel a world away. Surrounded by crystal waters and untouched National Parks, Tangalooma Island Resort on Moreton Island is the perfect destination for your next escape.

Only a 75-minute cruise across Moreton Bay by a high-speed catamaran from Brisbane, the resort is a perfect destination if you are seeking a unique adventure or nature based experience in a truly relaxed environment right on Brisbane’s doorstep! The Resort is privately owned and operated by a local Australian family and operates as a 3.5 star property.

A highlight of any stay is the opportunity to interact closely with nature. Each evening a pod of wild bottlenose dolphins eagerly swim up to the beach adjacent to the well-lit jetty, where they are hand fed fresh fish by our Dolphin Care Team and Resort guests. Whether you are feeding the dolphins or simply watching from the jetty, the experience is unforgettable. In the mornings the resident pelicans and cormorants enjoy a bucket or two of fish hand fed to them on the beach. When visiting during the whale migration season from July to the end of October, you can partake in the Whale-watching cruise and catch a close view of these majestic mammals.

Rejuvenate yourself with a range of over 75 adventure or nature based tours and activities. The resort’s desert safari tour allows guests to participate in the thrilling sport of sand tobogganing down a 70 metre high sand dune whilst reaching speeds of up to 50 kilometers per hour- it’s an exhilarating fun! Other things to see and do include four wheel drive, jet ski and ATV quad bike tours, marine eco cruises, parasailing, snorkeling, scuba diving, banana boat rides, helicopter joy flights and much more.

Choose from a variety of dining options and facilities at the resort including Tursiops buffet restaurant, beachfront Steakhouse and Chefs' a-la-carte restaurants, the beach café, coffee shop and resort shop.

Stay within 50 metres of the beach amongst landscaped gardens and natural bush land in a range of accommodation options to suit every style and budget. Choose from 96 air-conditioned hotel rooms, 134 self-contained resort units and suites or 56 luxurious two-storey beachfront villas.

Tangalooma’s high-speed catamarans depart from Brisbane’s Holt St Wharf at Pinkenba daily. The wharf is easily accessible being only a 15-minute drive from the CBD and 10 minutes from Brisbane Airport. Coach transfers from Brisbane Airport, Roma Street Transit Centre and inner city hotels can be booked on request. Parking is available at the wharf for a nominal fee.

Please note early departure from the hotel incurs 100% cancellation fee.
