Tangalooma Wild Dolphin Resort


Surrounded by crystal clear waters, white sandy beaches and untouched National Parks, Tangalooma Wild Dolphin Resort on Moreton Island is a natural wonderland to be explored.

Tangalooma Wild Dolphin Resort is a relaxing 75 minute cruise from Brisbane across Moreton Bay, or a 15 minute plane ride from Brisbane Airport. Fringed on 3 sides by Moreton Island National Park, Tangalooma Wild Dolphin Resort is subtly nestled amongst landscaped gardens and natural bushland.

The low rise units have a distinct Mediterranean look and feel about them and are well positioned to catch the sea breeze. Units feature stylish furnishings, bathroom, kitchenette, colour TV and cool slate floors which lead onto your own private balcony.

A highlight of any stay at Tangalooma Wild Dolphin Resort will be the opportunity to interact closely with our native wildlife.

Each evening the Tangalooma inshore dolphins eagerly swim up to the beach, adjacent to the well lit jetty, where they are rewarded with fresh fish hand fed to them by our Dolphin Care staff and Resort Guests. Whether you are actually participating in the feeding or simply watching from the jetty, you will be overwhelmed by these beautiful creatures.

In the mornings our resident pelicans and cormorants also enjoy a bucket or two of fish hand fed to them on the beach.

Hand feeding Tangalooma’s pod of wild dolphins is by far the most popular activity that both adults and children can participate in. Each evening the dolphins, varying in numbers from usually five up to ten swim into the shallow well lit area adjacent to the Resort Jetty to be hand fed their favourite fish.

The Jetty itself is an excellent vantage point from which to view these incredible creatures as they swim around at great speed, upside down, catching their own fish before the hand feeding begins. Due to the depth of water required to safely feed the dolphins children under about 8 years of age will need to be carried into the water. Staff will assist if you have difficulty with this requirement.

Stay 50 metres from the beach amongst landscaped gardens and natural bush land in a range of options to suit every style including air-conditioned hotel rooms, self contained resort units and suites and beachfront villas. 286 rooms including 56 villas; 96 hotel rooms; 134 resort units - a total capacity of 1,200 people.

The Resort boasts 134 modern motel style guest units, 56 two storey family villas, 96 hotel rooms and the latest development - Deep Blue, 4½ star beachfront luxury apartments. With over 298 rooms available, Tangalooma Wild Dolphin Resort offers a wide range of accommodation options to suit every budget and style.

The Resort facilities include free use of Tennis court, Squash court and archery range with required equipment. Also available for a hire fee is a large range of water sports, snorkel gear, scuba equipment and diving excursions.

The Resort is subtly nestled in landscaped gardens and natural bushland. The units are well positioned to catch the sea breezes. The majority of units feature stylish furnishings, bathroom, kitchenette, colour TV and your own private balcony or patio
