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!

We stayed 2 nights at Tangalooma but could just get towels for one day. New once for the second day would have cost extra ☹️ Would be nice to get clean once for the nights depending on the days you stay.

Staff are enormously friendly but the menu choices are limited and often run out. I think only one or two dishes come without chips. Could use a couple more options. Outlook is beautiful beach is clean and accessible to most.

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.
