Tangalooma is a hidden gem just over an hour by ferry away from Brisbane. The island resort is fantastic, with tours and activities for everyone. Feeding wild dolphins is incredible! The staff are all wonderful and there is nothing you can fault about the place!

Tangalooma is a beautiful resort on Moreton Island, which unfortunately does not come with any inclusions. Everything is an additional charge. Want to play volleyball? A charge to hire. Want some shade on the beach? $30 to hire a cabana. The beach is beautiful and the resort is really well maintained, clean and relaxed. The food options are lacking, and the only restaurant style option is SO expensive. We probably wont be coming back.

The food was the biggest let down unfortunately. It was a full week of takeaway food. You need to be able to hire a villa that has a kitchen and bring your own food. So many WH&S hazards around the island, ie low hanging cords (at head height), boxes covering dangerous tripping hazards, other hazards not roped off ie large drains

Commercial resort popular with families and school parties Our K block room was smart and recently renovated with great views out to see. Food was very cafeteria like. Fried and little healthy options. Oriental restaurant was better. The activities and excursions are its positives. Enjoyed sunset trip to the wreck. The snorkelling along the reef was exciting, if challenging, given the strong current and hidden sunken wrecks, just below the surface. Dolphin feeding has become too busy. There must have been nearly 100 people queueing up on the beach for two seconds, feeding a fish to this enormous wild animal. It’s still a surreal experience however. Sadly the trips to view the rest of the island and it scenery were not available, which was very disappointing. Would have booked a different time and worth planning them ahead and it was a key element we wished to do.

The hotel was great, activities were excellent. The only down side was the BBQ - they over cooked the fish and it was tough, yes fish tough
