Bunbury's Dolphin Discovery Centre brings you face-to-bottlenose with Koombana Bay's friendliest inhabitants, a pod of 100 wild dolphins. It's the only spot in Australia offering shore-based interaction and boat-based dolphin watching and swimming tours, with the added bonus of an educational Interpretive Centre.
Under two hours south of Perth by road, the Dolphin Discovery Centre makes a memorable stop-off on your trip to the South West.
If you're keen to tick one of the top bucket list items, this is the place to do it. Under the direction of the Centre's marine biologists, you can snorkel and swim with dolphins in their natural environment.
If you'd prefer to wet your toes, wait for the dolphins to come to you in the designated interaction zone. Or, you can hop aboard a Dolphin Eco Cruise.
While you're waiting for the dolphins to make an appearance, step into the Discovery Room to learn more about these enchanting creatures and the remarkable research the centre has undertaken.
Browse the Dolphin Shop for a souvenir, or stay for a bite to eat at the café. Grab a window seat or outdoor table overlooking the bay and watch the dolphins frolic in the shallows.
