Moreton Island Guide
A complete guide to Moreton Island, Restaurants and Cafes
Moreton Island is the world's second largest sand island. Though mostly national park, it includes
several small villages, beaches, freshwater lakes and a coloured sand desert.
Moreton Island was previously known as Tangalooma Dolphin Feeding Program. Here there are plenty activities you can
do, activities such as hand feed wild dolphins, sand taboggan mammoth dunes or tackle excellent four wheel drive exploring tracks. A whole
additional world also awaits beneath the surface with scuba diving and snorkelling available.
Tangalooma Wild Dolphin Resort offers a range of adventure and nature based activities. The star
attraction to the resort is undoubtedly the unique nightly hand feeding of a pod of wild Bottlenose
dolphins, where overnight guests have the opportunity to wade into the water and feed the dolphins.
Fringed on three sides by Moreton Island National Park, Tangalooma Wild Dolphin Resort is subtly
nestled amongst landscaped gardens and natural bushland.
A highlight of any stay at Tangalooma Wild Dolphin Resort will be the opportunity to interact closely
with our native wild life. Each evening the Tangalooma in-shore 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.
If you pay us a visit during the whale migration season between July and the end of October, you will have the
opportunity to participate in our regular whale watching cruise when you can catch a close look at these
majestic mammals of the sea.
As well as our world renowned wild dolphins, Tangalooma offers a wide range of activities such as: tennis,
squash, archery, snorkeling, fishing, sailing, scuba diving, bush walking, golf driving net, putting green and
wilderness Four Wheel Drive escorted tours to many National Park highlights. These include visiting Queensland's
oldest lighthouse at Cape Moreton, the Ocean Beach and the "Blue Lagoon" or enjoy a short trip to the "Desert" for
the exhilarating sport of "Sand Tobogganing".
Tangalooma caters for all ages with Teens and Kids activities daily and includes educational involvement in the Dolphin
Education Centre. At night enjoy an evening buffet in our fully licensed restaurant or a more casual meal at the Beach
Cafe.
After dinner you can enjoy our nightly entertainment or go for a moonlight stroll along the endless stretch of white
sandy beach. Whether your love is for nature, the water, or just relaxing on the beach under a palm tree, Tangalooma
Wild Dolphin Resort has something for everyone.
