Just off the coast of Moreton Island, the Tangalooma Wrecks are an iconic collection of 15 vessels deliberately scuttled to create a breakwall for small boats. Over time, this intriguing cluster of ships has morphed into a thriving marine habitat.
Snorkelling here, you'll explore an underwater wonderland teeming with vibrant corals, tropical fish, trevally, and even wobbegongs. For the more adventurous, consider a guided scuba diving trip to uncover the deeper, hidden treasures of the wrecks.
As the sun dips below the horizon, Tangalooma Beach becomes the stage for a remarkable wildlife encounter. Each night, a pod of wild bottlenose dolphins swims to the shore to interact with humans.
Participating in the Dolphin Feeding Program, you’ll have a chance to hand-feed these gentle marine creatures under the guidance of trained professionals. It's a truly magical, eco-friendly experience that will bring you closer to nature and expand your understanding of marine conservation.
Encompassing nearly all of Moreton Island, this national park is a patchwork of sandy beaches, sparkling lagoons, and dense forests. Within its boundaries, you can hike to the top of Mount Tempest – the highest stabilised coastal sand dune in the world – for panoramic views of the island.
The park is also a haven for bird watchers, with over 180 species of birds fluttering amidst the foliage, including kookaburras, pelicans, and sea eagles. On a guided nature walk, you can learn about the local flora and fauna and the efforts to preserve this unique ecosystem.
An adrenaline-fueled descent down a giant sand dune is a must for thrill-seekers visiting Moreton Island.
The island's dunes tower up to 280 feet above sea level, promising an exhilarating ride. Grab a toboggan (provided by local tour operators), trudge up to the dune's peak, and then slide down at lightning speed, a rush of wind in your face. It's an unforgettable challenge that will surely find a place on your adventure bucket list.
For those seeking a touch of luxury, Tangalooma Island Resort provides an idyllic retreat. Offering exclusive beachfront villas and apartments with stunning views, the resort pampers guests with rejuvenating spa services, fine dining at its onsite restaurants, and personalised tours.
