    * Child rate applies to children aged 3-14 years inclusive.

  • WILD DOLPHIN FEEDING & WILD DOLPHIN VIEWING CONDITIONS
    Over many decades the Resort has enjoyed a high attendance rate of wild dolphins visiting the Resort at sunset on most evenings. However, the dolphin feeding program does involve wild animals, and as such Tangalooma cannot guarantee the attendance of dolphins at the scheduled evening feeding event due to possible environmental and animal-behavioral issues beyond the Resort’s control. As such any inclusion of Dolphin Feeding or Dolphin Viewing is classified as a guest reservation (only) to attend the dolphin feeding area and participate in feeding or viewing subject to the event proceeding as scheduled. If the evening dolphin feeding event cannot go ahead for any reason, guests will, unfortunately, forfeit their opportunity to redeem this inclusion. The Dolphin Feeding Program operates to strict guidelines, therefore restrictions on feeding apply. The number of guests able to feed the dolphins is dependent on the number of wild dolphins in attendance; coupled with additional safety, weather, tidal, animal welfare and regulatory restrictions. All guests on overnight accommodation packages with a dolphin feeding inclusion have a reservation to feed a dolphin on one night of their stay only. Wherever possible Tangalooma encourages guests to participate in dolphin feeding on the first night of their stay, so that they can be rebooked (subject to availability) for a subsequent night of their stay should the dolphin feeding be unable to proceed on that first night. Guests without Dolphin feeding inclusions may watch the nightly event from general unreserved public areas of the Tangalooma Jetty subject to capacity, and staff-directed restrictions.
  • ^Standard beverage voucher entitles guests to their choice of soft drink, tea, coffee or water.
  • * Sunset Cocktail/Mocktail beverage voucher valid at Wheelhouse Deck and B&B’s Bar only. Cannot be exchanged for cash. Voucher valid for one (1) Cocktail from the daily Cocktail list for 18+ guests. Voucher valid for one (1) Mocktail, soft drink or water for guests under 18 years. Not transferrable.
  • Return launch time for the ‘Sunset Cocktail Package’, ‘Wild Dolphin Feeding Package’ and ‘Sea to Sky Package’ is approximately 7 pm in Winter, 7:30 pm in Spring and Autumn and 8 pm in Summer.
  • Eco Ranger experiences are subject to change, availability and animal attendance.
  • Drone Usage:
    Guest use of Drones or Remotely Piloted Aircraft on the resort property, Holt St Wharf, on Resort vehicles & vessels, or tours operated by the resort is restricted by the conditions of the resort Drone Policy; as well as other statutory laws governing the use of such aircraft in the vicinity of the resort, adjacent national/marine parks, and generally on Moreton Island.
  • Commercial Photography:
    Any commercial, corporate, or media filming/photography within the Tangalooma Island Resort precinct, upon one of the tours operated by the resort (or its concessionaires) into adjoining national/marine parks is governed by the resort's Commercial, Corporate & Media Film Policy in which a permit must be issued by resort management prior to filming.
