Tangalooma has 2 beach wheelchair available for guests who are staying at the resort. We were able to use one of the beach wheelchairs during our stay at no cost to explore the amazing white beaches.
I had to use pillows to support me in the Tangalooma beach wheelchair because it is so big. Unfortunately we did run into a bit of drama while we had the beach wheelchair. After spending a fun afternoon on the beach we had to go back to our room for a bit to get ready for the evening, but because the beach wheelchair is so wide it wouldn’t fit in the lift to our room. We were told it was fine to leave the chair down stairs near the lifts, thinking it would be safe there, how wrong we all were! When we returned, the wheelchair had disappeared!
We went to the rangers thinking they might of returned it back to its home at the Eco centre, but they hadn’t. By this time every ranger on Tangalooma was looking for this beach wheelchair that had oddly just disappeared!. Luckily I was able to borrow the 2nd beach wheelchair from the Tour experience team for the dolphin feeding that evening. Thankfully the beach wheelchair did turn up later that night back in the exact location it disappeared from. It turns out 2 people decided to take the wheelchair for a joy ride. It was disappointing finding out someone would take a wheelchair, but I was very relieved it was returned safe and sound.
