Chic inner-city hotels are nice, but guests never get the opportunity to dig for buried treasure. Embrace the wonders of island life with today’s Groupon: $459 for three nights in a Run of House Room including wild dolphin feeding and return transfers at Tangalooma Island Resort ($1210 value).

Surrounded by crystal waters and untouched National Parks, Tangalooma Island Resort is only a 75-minute cruise by high-speed catamaran from Brisbane, but is almost a different world. Nature-loving guys and gals pack their leis and sarongs for three nights of paradise in a spacious Run of House Room set in luscious landscaped gardens and natural bushland. Each room is located seconds from the beach. Rooms boast a TV, DVD player, mini fridge and a private furnished balcony or terrace. Make the most of over 40 free activities such as eco walks, movie nights, golf putting and more. Or simply kick back and relax by one of the two sparkling swimming pools.

Moreton Island is renowned for its secluded feel and unspoiled beauty. Get up close and personal with one of nature’s most beautiful and intelligent creatures during a wild dolphin feeding experience on one night of the stay. Expect to see abundant marine wildlife including manta rays, dugongs and turtles if you choose to snorkel in the deeper waters. Every Groupie gets free return transfers from Brisbane Holt Street Wharf to the island and those who travel in November, February or March receive up to $100 bonus resort credit for tours, activities and food and beverages at the resort.
