2.Moreton Island: Tangalooma ATV Quad Bike & Dolphin Feeding

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 145 reviews · 1 day · from $172

Take a 75-minute cruise from Brisbane to Tangalooma, ride a guided ATV through bush and beach terrain, use the resort pools and beaches, then join the evening wild dolphin feeding. Guides keep the ride suitable for beginners, while dolphin feeding depends on weather and animal behavior.

“The activities were great and very well organized. The quad bike trail is done following the instructor, and we are not allowed to go very fast, but it was really enjoyable! Feeding the dolphins was fantastic for me. The team is super organized. Just one thing that is interesting to know before booking is that there is only one fish per group (for example, if you go with your partner, only one of you will get the fish to give to the dolphin, but both of you enter the water together). Overall, it was really very good!!”

3.Moreton Island: Tangalooma Desert Safari and Dolphin Feeding

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 103 reviews · 1 day · from $162

“the Dolph Feeding program will be an unforgettable memory for me forever. there are many people and you can feed the dolphins only for a couple minutes but it is still very worth it and the day on the island was just as amazing. after you feed the dolphins you can also watch them from the pier in the shallow water and it was so amazing”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 57 reviews · 1 day · from $162

Take the 75-minute ferry from Brisbane to Tangalooma, enjoy resort facilities, then join Eco Rangers for a three-hour whale cruise with lunch. Finish by hand-feeding a wild bottlenose dolphin at sunset, weather and dolphin attendance permitting.

“These activities were actually so interesting and attracted me! Generally, I was enjoyed with my family most of time! However, the activity of dolphin feeding was too short and rushed and we got to get changed our wet body immediately just after dolphin fed! As the ferry is going to depart @7pm and we did not managed to get everything done in such short time, especially with kids. Furthermore, if the activity of dolphin feed were started late!”
