GT Travel Awards 2008: Getaway Best family accommodation
Tangalooma Island Resort, QldJust 75 minutes from Brisbane by leisurely cruise lies one of Australia’s most memorable family holidays. At Tangalooma Resort on Moreton Island, humans and dolphins interact in a remarkable daily muster of man and nature. Helping marine biologists feed the wild but friendly bottlenose dolphins each evening is an unforgettable experience, and an on-site education and conservation program offers an opportunity for children to learn more about these mammals and the whales that visit the Moreton Bay Marine Park in winter and spring. Dolphins are the main attraction at Tangalooma but they are not the only distraction: families can fill their days on quad-bike or jet-ski tours, whale-watching cruises, snorkelling and sand tobogganing, among many other diversions. The resort’s accommodation features 286 beachfront rooms, including villas and self-contained units.
