Which activity should I choose — jet boat, desert safari, snorkelling, or marine cruise?

Each option suits a different style: the jet boat is best for thrills, the desert safari suits those who want to explore the island's interior dunes, snorkelling is ideal for underwater wildlife, and the marine discovery cruise is a relaxed, scenic option. You select your preference when booking.

Where exactly do I meet for departure?

The tour departs from Holt Street Wharf in Brisbane at 07:00. Arrive a little early to allow time for check-in and boarding.

Is the dolphin feeding guaranteed?

The wild dolphins visit the resort jetty most evenings, but as they are wild animals their appearance cannot be guaranteed. Sightings are very consistent and the experience is led by trained marine experts.

Are children able to join, and is there a cost for very young children?

Yes, the tour is family-friendly. Children aged two years and under travel free of charge. A reduced lunch voucher (AUD 15) applies for children.

What time does the tour finish and how do I get back to Brisbane?

The return ferry departs Tangalooma Island Resort at approximately 19:00 in winter and 19:30 in spring, returning you to Holt Street Wharf in Brisbane. The return transfer is included in your ticket.

Are the optional activities suitable for everyone?

Some activities are physically demanding and may not be suitable for all guests. Please disclose any injuries, medical conditions, or disabilities at the time of booking so the operator can advise accordingly.
