Moreton Island and Tangalooma Wild Dolphin Resort

Moreton Island is the 3rd largest sand island in the world and it is well worth exploring this unique and beautiful island by 4WD. Visit the Blue Lagoon, Champagne Pools, and Honeymoon Bay for a swim, the Desert for sand boarding and Cape Moreton to watch the turtles, dolphins and giant rays feeding in the shallows under the Cape and the whales passing by on their annual migration north in winter.

Take your own picnic or drop into the infamous "Gutter Bar" (for drinkermen with a fishing problem!) for some fresh Moreton Bay oysters followed by a burger and a beer before heading off to find the Thong Tree. Micat has a great little shop at Bulwer which serves delicious meals. Don't miss the climb (medium grade) up Mt Tempest on a good day for unbelievable 360 degree views.

Tangalooma Wild Dolphin Resort and all its facilities and activities are available for our guests such as pools, cafes, bars, water sports and quad bikes just to name a few. They also organise island tours, whale watching, snorkelling at the Wrecks, eco tours and of course the famous dolphin feeding (available only on request and availability but guests can listen to the commentary and watch the feeding from the jetty just a few meters away and absolutely free).

Getting Here

Being an island the only way to get here is by boat which takes just over an hour.

WITHOUT 4WD
Tangalooma passenger jets run from Pinkenba to Moreton Island several times a day and you can book through the resort website. Once you arrive at the Resort a taxi takes you and your luggage to the house only a few minutes away.

BY 4WD
Being a sand island with sand tracks instead of bitumen, the only way round is by 4WD. The MICAT is the only vehicle ferry that goes to Moreton and so it is important to book early in peak times. It departs from the Port of Brisbane at Lytton and drops you off at the Tangalooma Wrecks and then it is a 15 minute scenic drive through the middle of the island to get to the house. Visit the Micat website for more info.

Perfect house with amazing views
The house was better than detailed in listing and suited our family perfectly. The house is setup very well and has everything you need. The best thing about this house is the view. It is an amazing uninterrupted view. A view you never tire of. We spent a lot of time at the house and it had everything we needed and is well equipped for entertaining. The host was so helpful, communicated well and all instructions were clear and precise.

Even better then we expected
We loved staying at this property. It was well appointed and had excellent views. We chose to use the buggy, which was great for easy trips too and from the beach. We enjoyed having access to the resort but staying just a bit further away. More privacy and incredible views. Hosts are delightful and really helpful. Keen to stay here again some day.

Family Holiday
Helen was an excellent host!! Thank goodness for the buggy!! The only thing was the house is very hot as the windows had no screens and with the ceiling height - you don’t get a huge benefit from the fans. Other than that - it was perfect!!

About the host

Hosted by Helen Wheatley

Host profile image
I grew up in NSW and settled in Queensland. I love the outdoors, swimming and sitting on the deck with a cold drink!

Why they chose this property

My husband and I stayed in one of the guest houses for school holidays in 2021 and we fell in love with Moreton and the Blue Moon Beach House. We can’t wait to spend time getting to know Moreton and everything it has to offer.
