For those who prefer to explore themselves, a short walk along the beach will take you to the shipwrecks, that can be seen from the shore.

The resort itself offers free activities such as tennis, squash, table tennis, basketball, badminton, soccer, beach volleyball, cricket, boules, swimming pools and of course beach swimming.

Probably a main draw card for Tangalooma Island Resort is the access to the wildlife in their natural environment. You can feed the pelicans, kookaburras, fish and of course the very popular feeding of the wild dolphins.

Only three places in Australia offer such an experience. The program started in 1992 and they currently have around 12 dolphins visit each evening on their own accord. The interactive experience includes educational talks by onsite marine biologists. To learn more about the wild dolphins, there is a dedicated marine education and conservation centre, encouraging visitors to be aware and help keep the waters safe and clean of rubbish.
