Tourism Australia showcases Tangalooma to Canada & North America

Captivating media personality Gunnarolla features Tangalooma Island Resort in the action-packed premiere of Gunnarolla Down Under, a CBC miniseries showcasing Australia. As part of a sponsored content partnership with Tourism Australia, the travel guru went kayaking around the iconic wrecks and took on the sand dunes during a thrilling quad bike tour, igniting wanderlust in his Canadian audience.

Adding to the international buzz, Travel + Leisure senior editor Nina Ruggiero was inspired to visit Australia after interviewing Brisbane-born Chef Louis Tikaram, a Tourism Australia travel ambassador who also featured in Gunnarolla Down Under. In their conversation, Chef Louis recommends a visit to Tangalooma to go snorkelling around the wrecks as one of his favourite things to do in Brisbane, a suggestion that helped shape Nina’s own travel plans. Proudly hosted by our team at Tangalooma Island Resort, she couldn’t wait to snorkel the wrecks for herself and had a blast sandboarding on the Desert Safari Tour.

These exciting collaborations with Tourism Australia are shining a global spotlight on Tangalooma, welcoming the world to share in its natural beauty and unforgettable adventures. Check out the video below!
