Review of Tangalooma’s Brisbane day trip, with shipwreck snorkeling, resort access, lunch, dolphin feeding, costs, timing, and practical tips.
“Was a good day out and the value for the bundle trip on here was good. However I have been here before (3times) and it has gone downhill since I last visited in 2023. You can tell they have become more money grabbing. The tours are overbooked and therefore not enjoyable, the photos that have been part of the payment for years are now $40 each! And we only got one fish per group which you use to at least get one each! Disappointing that one of our favourite places has changed, and not for the good.”
