From Brisbane: Moreton Island Desert Safari & Dolphin Feeding

Cruise from Brisbane
to Tangalooma on Moreton Island

Depart from Holt Street Wharf, about 10 minutes from Brisbane city, and cruise across Moreton Bay, arriving directly at the resort jetty in about 75 minutes. You may spot dolphins or whales on the way, and one drink is provided on board.

On the island, your full-day resort pass gives you all-day access to the pools, beach, bars, restaurants, convenience store, showers, change rooms, lockers and phone charging facilities.

Head to the desert by 4WD bus and go sand tobogganing

Board a 4WD bus and travel along bushland tracks to the island's desert area. Once there, slide down tall sand dunes on a sand toboggan. This fun experience is suitable for all ages.

Have lunch with your voucher and relax at the resort

Use your lunch voucher (worth $25 per adult and $20 per child) at resort eateries for burgers, pizza, pasta, salads, nachos and more. In the afternoon, relax by the pool, enjoy a drink at the bar, or explore the beach and tropical gardens.

You can watch the dolphin presentation at the Eco Centre or join the eco ranger experience, and depending on the schedule there are also wildlife talks and encounters.

See the wild dolphin feeding at sunset

In the evening, a pod of wild bottlenose dolphins living around Tangalooma visits the shoreline. Watch the dolphin feeding guided by marine rangers; depending on conditions, you may also take part.

At the end of the day, you leave the island around sunset and return to Brisbane. Return boat times vary by season.

※ Dolphins are wild animals, so sightings are not guaranteed.
※ Dolphin feeding depends on the weather, animal behavior and the number of guests. You may share a fish with other guests, and under certain conditions feeding takes place from the jetty.
※ The tour is weather dependent. In wet weather, the desert safari is replaced by a wrecks sightseeing tour.
