The stay

What to know about this stay.

Tangalooma Island Resort sits on Moreton Island, a 75-minute catamaran ride from Brisbane, on a stretch of coastline named among Lonely Planet's 100 Best Beaches in the World. The island itself is mostly national park, with the resort as the only real base for exploring it.

Wild dolphin feeding at dusk is the resort's best-known experience, a genuinely rare chance to interact with wild dolphins that return to the same beach most evenings, alongside whale watching cruises in season. ATV quad bike tours through the dunes, the Desert Safari Tour's sand tobogganing and snorkeling the Tangalooma Wrecks just offshore round out the water and land-based options, and the new Tangalooma Dunes Cabana Club adds a stylish beachfront lounge over Moreton Bay.
