For those looking to make even more of their island escape, Tangalooma's premium whale watching experiences offer a range of exciting extras.
Spend additional time exploring the island resort, sip sunset cocktails overlooking Moreton Bay, hand-feed wild dolphins at dusk, or take to the skies on a breathtaking helicopter flight above the famous Tangalooma Wrecks.
To make the experience even more enticing, early bird bookings receive 30% off when booked in advance, offering exceptional value for one of Queensland's most sought-after seasonal experiences.
