Tangalooma is located on Moreton Island, a huge sand island just off Brisbane. The photo above shows some of the sandcliffs just along from where the boat jetty is at Tangalooma Island Resort.

There are many different types of one day tours and cruises to Tangalooma and Moreton Island in Moreton Bay. On this page I have tried to cover as many of the options as I can including suggestions as to which are suitable for different needs.

Tangalooma One Day Tours

Booking ahead is really important because all these Tangalooma one day tours have limited spots and they do get full at peak holiday times.

There are so many variations and options, so I am going to direct you to my suggestions, or you can sift through the list yourself of tours that go to Tangalooma, cruises in Moreton Bay and trips to Moreton Island.

Tangalooma Sand Tobboganning.Make Your Own Way To Tangalooma Cruise Terminal In Brisbane The drive yourself option to Holt Street Wharf in Brisbane (Pinkemba near the Airport). Take a Tangalooma Island Adventure Tour across to the resort on Moreton Island and enjoy the resort facilities for the day. Or, you can stay on for dolphin feeding and return on the last launch on the Dolphin Adventure Tour.

Coach transport to Holt Street Wharf.

If you don't want to drive yourself you will need to use coach transfers from Gold Coast hotels to the Tangalooma Cruise Terminal at Holt Street Wharf in Brisbane. If you are staying in Brisbane or coming from Brisbane Airport you should be able to find transfers to the wharf.

Dolphin Wild Cruise Boat.

Other tour operators include Dolphin Wild Cruises who also visit Tangalooma Wrecks for snorkelling, lunch on board boat, and much more.

Departs from Redcliffe in Brisbane. Redcliffe is a significantly further drive from the Gold Coast than the Holt Street Wharf, so this tour is not so appealing for those staying in the Gold Coast due to the extra travelling. It is great for those staying in Brisbane.

Moreton Island Ferry

Moreton Bay ferry departs from Newport Marina, Scarborough (northern Brisbane) and takes 2 hours to get to Bulwer on Moreton Island. Please note this does not take you to Tangalooma Island Resort.


Moreton Bay Diving

Moreton Bay Dive trips and Eco Tours are offered by Reality Cruises which includes a range of dive trips including live on board options as well as day trip experiences and eco tours. These tours generally run between September and May each year.

Check terms and conditions for each tour. You may be able to change the dates, subject to availability etc. Please do check that, don't take my word for it, as these things have a habit of changing!

Things To Take With You On Tangalooma One Day Tours

Here is a list of things to take if your one day tour to Tangalooma or on a cruise. Some are optional, others are a must!

  • Sun protection - hat, shirt, sunscreen and sunglasses. These are a must all year round.
  • Warm clothes just in case the wind whips up and in winter it can be cooler.
  • Camera - still and video. And don't forget the instruction booklet if you are not sure how to use them!
  • Sea sickness remedy - if you need one. Or else stay on deck!
  • Swim wear, towel and snorkel if you have one. I think you can hire snorkels at Tangalooma Island Resort if you are going there.

This is one of the cruises shown above - Dolphin Wild which goes from Scarborough. It isn't for everyone, but this is a great video that shows the sorts of things you can see and do.
