Your Moreton Island adventure begins at the Brisbane wharf, where staff will confirm the day’s timings. Enjoy a 75-minute scenic ferry ride across Moreton Bay, with a complimentary beverage available on either the outbound or return journey.
On arrival, you’ll have time to relax and enjoy full access to Tangalooma Island Resort facilities, including swimming pools, cafés, restaurants, bars, and the sandy beach. Then, join the Desert Safari Tour — a thrilling 4WD ride through the bushland to the Tangalooma Desert. Along the way, you’ll experience the island’s rugged terrain before trying sand tobogganing down massive dunes at speeds of up to 40 km/h.
At 3:15 PM, you can visit the Eco Centre for the optional Discover the World of Dolphins presentation, or simply continue enjoying the island until sunset. In the evening, make your way to the jetty for the highlight of the day: the wild dolphin feeding program. Watch as a pod of dolphins swims close to shore, then follow an expert into the shallow water and hand-feed fish to a wild bottlenose dolphin. Assisted by the Dolphin Care Team and Eco Rangers, this unique wildlife encounter is conducted under strict guidelines to ensure the dolphins’ protection.
At approximately 7:00 PM, depart Moreton Island by ferry, arriving back at Brisbane around 8:15 PM — the perfect ending to a day of adventure, relaxation, and unforgettable wildlife encounters.
t was all we had hoped for. The staff at Tangalooma were wonderful, and all the activities were run on time. We were advised what the program would be for the day, and knew where to be at what time. We had very clear and humourous instructions from Jay who set the scene for a memorable experience.
Moreton Island is a very beautiful island. The desert safari with sand sledding was a lot of fun. We even had showers in the lounge area where we could get rid of all the sand.
