Welcome to Tangalooma Wild Dolphin Resort

 


 Feed the dolphins at Tangalooma Wild Dolphin Resort, Moreton Island

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.

In the 12 months from 1 July 1998 only 3 nights were recorded when no dolphins came in to feed. This is usually caused by extreme poor weather conditions factored in with very low tides where the dolphin cannot see the beach through the broken water. Thankfully we are on the mostly protected western side of Moreton Island.

The Resort comprises 170 low rise units and villas subtly nestled in natural bushland and landscaped gardens. Each unit features stylish cane furnishings, bathroom, kitchenette, telephone and colour TV, most with private balconies and all within 50 metres of the beach. Villas are two story apartments with two bedrooms and total family accommodation for up to 8 occupants.

 

Activities on the Resort are many and varied: snorkelling, sailing, scuba diving, water skiing, tennis, archery, squash, bush walking, sand tobogganing, the list goes on. Take a four wheel drive tour into the beautiful Moreton Island National Park, our tours will take you to some of the most ecologically significant and picturesque parts of Moreton Island.

Birdlife abounds around the Resort with Pelicans and Cormorants at the regular feeding, plus a swooping visit from a pair of Whistling Kites and a Brahminy Kite. In the evening the Kookaburras will often make an appearance and you can get within a few feet with your camera.

At night enjoy the hospitality of Tursiop’s Restaurant or the more casual Beach Cafe. After dinner you can join the nightly entertainment or just take a quiet moonlight stroll along the beach.
