Sport 

Tangalooma Island Resort offers a range of free sporting activities perfect for both avid beach-goers and people wanting to stay in the resort. Have a round of sweat-inducing tennis or squash or opt for the lower-impact options of table tennis, boule or badminton. Those with a bigger group can organise beach volleyball, soccer or cricket to be played by the water or head to the nearby basketball courts for some slam dunk action.

Nature 

As one of the world’s largest sand islands, Tangalooma is home to amazing natural flora and fauna. Embark on an eco walk to discover birds, flora and fauna, bush tucker, the Tangalooma Wrecks and Marine Beach. Snorkel the wrecks to see an amazing array of marine wildlife including wobbegongs, kingfish, yellowtail and tropical fish.

Kayakers

Want to learn more about the marine life? Educational presentations are held on dolphin behaviour, data collection and care, and in-depth demonstrations on other ocean dwellers such as dugongs, whales, turtles, dangerous creatures and sharks. After learning about the dolphins visit the pier at sunset to see a swarm of wild dolphins visit the shores for hand-feeding. You can join in on this experience at a small cost.

Head to the Eco Centre to learn about Moreton Island history and what life was like on Tangalooma’s Old Whaling Station Tour & Talk.

Entertainment 

You certainly won't be bored on Tangalooma with a variety of entertaining activities on offer. Get behind the scenes with a helicopter workshop and learn how the helicopter flies as well as meet the pilot. Be careful, you might be very tempted to book the scenic helicopter flight after this tour.

The fun doesn't stop when the sun sets, head down to the Resort Centre for an evening of games and activities with bingo nights, karaoke and trivia. If you're looking for something a little different, get involved in the Horse Racing Cup.
