Venue
- Main Venue : Tangalooma Island Resort
Tangalooma is located on the center of Moreton Island, the third-largest sand island in the world, located 40km of Brisbane. The sea around the area is inhabited by dolphins, dugongs, and whales, and is a place where untouched nature flourishes. In this program, participants will have the chance to learn about the geography and history of Moreton Island and its surroundings that foster this extraordinary natural environment, as well as a chance to interact with the nature of Tangalooma through activities such as dolphin feeding.
