A Exceptionally good day started off with a very pleasant boat trip to the island. Well organised and friendly staff. Once we got to the island, we were made to feel welcome as daytrippers. The snorkelling, the Tangalooma Shipwrecks was awesome. We chose the quad bike riding which was great fun and stayed for dinner, which was very nice and reasonably priced. Then we watched the dolphin feeding and caught the last ferry back. Would definitely recommend this trip we would go again and quite possibly would stay a few nights at Tangalooma resort.
