Stay
Tangalooma’s long stretch of land is home to many accommodation options – all of which offer the laid-back lifestyle the island demands.
As well as being within walking distance to the island's bars (yes!) and restaurants, each room is fit with front-door beach access, making your trip as seamless as possible.
Wellness
No island retreat is complete without a little indulgence. Tangalooma offers a number of beauty and wellness options, including massages, manicures and signature facials.
We tried the classic relaxation massage, and safe to say it soon went to the top of our list of must do’s.
Feed the dolphins
The highlight of any visit to Tangalooma is the opportunity to hand feed one of the wild bottlenose dolphins that visit the shores each evening at sunset. This was truly a magical experience that I couldn’t recommend more.
The Tangalooma dolphins are playful creatures, each with their very own distinctive and unique personalities.
On the night we visited, a cheeky dolphin named Echo stole the show.
The incredible staff can tell the dolphins apart and let the audience know a little about each one’s personality.
The best part about this experience, is that these dolphins are subject to the resort’s very strict rules, ensuring they remain as wild as possible.
The wrecks
Tangalooma has become world famous for it's wrecks, with the island being home to a cluster of ships scuttled by the Queensland Government between 1963 and 1984 to provide safe anchorage for recreational boat owners on the eastern side of Moreton Bay.
The Wrecks are now home to a large variety of different species of reef fish, coral formations and marine life.
Discovering a hidden world under the sea by diving and exploring the shipwrecks at Tangalooma – either on tour or on your own accord – is a Summer must.
