Tangalooma Island Whale Watching Day Cruise - Tour + Dolphin Viewing

Since 1987, Tangalooma Island Resort has offered Brisbane’s closest Whale Watching day cruise, plus the opportunity to enjoy ‘island life’ for the day. Marvel at the annual migration each June to October of the Humpback Whales, as they journey from Antarctica along the east coast of Australia. These acrobats of the ocean pass through Moreton Bay, often with their newborn calves, creating one of the greatest spectacles of the sea. Hop onto our Whale Watching vessel, a smooth sailing and comfortable catamaran and you will receive expert commentary by the Eco Rangers as you help to spot these majestic creatures. Wild Dolphin Viewing From the vantage point of the jetty, see the family of dolphins who visit Tangalooma each evening up close and at their most charming. Create unforgettable memories as you make your way to the grandstand at sunset for a great view of these incredible creatures as they arrive and play, splash and chase each other in the water. Wild Dolphin Feeding What better way to finish the day by coming face-to-flipper with the charming dolphins and taking part in hand-feeding a family of wild dolphins. Watch them speed into the shallows each night, where they play together and entertain until it’s time to be fed.

Avoid the crowds on this relaxed exploration of the Blue Mountains!

Located 50 kilometres from Sydney CBD, the Blue Mountains is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, and is rich in Aboriginal heritage . A rugged mountain range of unique sandstone formations and steep cliffs, the Blue Mountains is known for its dramatic landscape. Surrounded by giant eucalyptus trees which create a blue haze that lives up to its name. We travel onwards to explore the amazing Jamison Valley with magnificent valley and canyon views, a major scenic attraction. Get up close to the storied sandstone formation, the iconic Three Sisters . Hike along some impressive bush trails toward one of the most breathtaking waterfalls in New South Wales then settle in to watch the sun sink behind the distant mountains casting shadows over the rock formations and eucalyptus forests. On the journey home, take a quick break to grab some dinner (at your own expense) before we go kangaroo spotting! Many of Australia’s native animals are much more active in the dusk hours and we’ll explore some of the secret spots where we are most likely to find wildlife.
