A great morning! We enjoyed the talks with the staff and learned a lot about dolphins. We had a great breakfast, which we couldn't finish, because the bell rang and we ran out to the beach to see a dolphin from really, really close. It was unreal and unforgettable.

Four family members arrived for lunch, crowded cafe but managed to identify a vacant table. We enjoyed coffee while awaiting food delivery, beef burgers for the males, scone and muffin for the ladies. We enjoyed our meals.

We visited with my 4 year old and whilst it’s not a huge place spent 2 hours there!
My daughter loved the talk about the turtle while they measured and weighed him and was able to have a photo next to him and ask questions. She loved the feeding of the octopus as well! One of the staff also bought a starfish to look under the microscope out. All the staff / volunteers was friendly and knowledgeable! We learnt lots!!
Lots of interactive things to do including colouring, unfortunately the screen wasn’t working to scan the picture in that brings there fish alive!
While in the centre they let us know there was a dolphin on the beach and we were able to go outside and see the dolphin.
We also did the boat tour to spot dolphins which was magical!
Recommend bringing a jacket with you for the boat tour!

I am an 82 year old who is taken out twice, weekly for coffee and a snack. the coffee was ok ,but their substitute snack was indescribable in that ,I couldn't cut it with a knife, let alone eat it with my false teeth. This experience left me in a state that i definitely won't be back or recommended this premises to anyone else

An amazing opportunity to see wild dolphins up close and personal in their own territory with Dolphin Discovery Centre. Our guide Kathy was fantastic, full of knowledge and warm enthusiasm. She and the skipper worked really hard to maximise the opportunity for close encounters with the dolphins for all on board. I would happily recommend this tour to anyone with a love for dolphins.
What impressed me the most on this tour was the respect shown to the dolphins. Kathy took her time to assess the behaviour of the various pods, whether they were feeding, mating or with calves, before the decision was made to enter the water. Every encounter was strictly on the dolphins terms. Having said that, we were fortunate to be in the water at least four times with the dolphins, each time giving a unique and close experience. Thank you so much to all the team, including the dedicated volunteers, for a truly memorable experience. A very caring and well run tour.

We recently did a tour to swim with dolphins at Bunbury Dolphin Discovery Centre and were totally impressed! It has always been a dream of mine to swim with dolphins, but I've always wanted to do it in a eco-conscious way that respects the dolphins and their environment (not in a pool, or touching them, or holding their fins, for example). Let me tell you! This was the perfect experience! Not only did the tour respect the dolphins habitat and space, they educated you on why certains times we would not be disrupting the dolphins (when they were feeding, being aggressive, mating or with calves). When we did get in the water to view them, we were never chasing the dolphins, they were to come to us, and with that in mind, it was amazing to have as many interactions with them as we did! We had 3 solid swims where we viewed the dolphins swimming under us, or beside us. It was beautiful, and respectful. I would recommend it highly as it is one of the highlights of not only the trip to Australia, but of my life! Thank you to Kathy, our guide, mark the skipper, and the several volunteers. Incredibly run tour!

The dolphins arrived promptly at 9am ready to see the visitors lined up for their inspection. They swam back and forth along the file of assembled humans looking, one can only assume for irregularities. The volunteers on hand knew them by name and were able to answer questions regarding their behaviour and physical attributes, etc. All this close quarters non-contact experience was free. They also have a fabulous cafe and accompanying gift shop.

Met up with a friend for breakfast this morning. I enjoyed my scrambled eggs and bacon on toast, my friend likewise his tropical fruit salad jumble bowl. Assorted coffees and teas also enjoyed. Service friendly and very good and meals delivered promptly. Nice venue and great outlook over the Bay.

Terribly distressing to witness how the tour guide relentlessly chases down the dolphins to get a glimpse. I thought an operator in this business would have more respect for wildlife.
Also, the lack of regard to traffic rules while among other boats.

Hi Ty,
We're sorry to hear you were distressed by our approach, we actually follow strict guidelines to ensure the most minimal impact on the dolphins, as per regulated by DBCA. If you had any questions at the time we recommend asking your guide, or if after your tour you can send us a message!

If you've had bariatric surgery, can adults order from the kid's corner menu? I can't eat big meals.

Hi. Regarding the Dolphin Interaction Zone on the beach/shore close by, do the wild local dolphins usually come or visit in the late morning, early or mid afternoon in October or November? How many tend to come close to shore?
I think the train service from Perth doesn't arrive in Bunbury until around midday or 12:30 PM.

Dolphins in the wild can be unpredictable - having said that though, they may be expected from early to mid morning so this is the best time.
Hi, the date that we want to visit for the cruise is sold out on the website. Will there still be tickets available for walk in guests?

Our apologies for missing this question. We don't keep walk in spots for cruises if it is booked out online it is either not operating due to weather or it is booked out.

Hi I'm looking at visiting DDC in February 2019 with my 8 year old, she's a good swimmer but I'm just a little conscious of how long we would be in the water for in the Swim Encounter tour... I was just wondering how deep we would be out and for how long, obviously she can hang on to me if she tires? Do the dolphins touch you or push you? and do you offer life jackets? Basically is the swim encounter suitable for an 8 year old or should we stick to the Eco cruise as observers?
DDCBunbury
Bunbury, أستراليامساهمتيْن
Hi Nicola, yes the swim is fine for your 8 year old. We offer buoyancy devices to everyone if they are needed. We average about 3.5metres in depth. The Dolphins don't touch you. You can also get out of the water whenever you'd like. February is a great time of year though. Likewise everyone would still enjoy the Eco Cruise.

Are their dolphin sightings during August at the centre through their tour or at interaction zone? What are the charges for visiting Interaction zone?

Thankyou for your enquiry. Yes we have a lot of dolphins in the bay in winter. We don't see them at the beach consistently but out in the bay on an Eco Cruise we still see them. :)

Thanks for your enquiry. The DDC is currently closed for redevelopment we are due to open in December. We do have Eco Cruises still operational just weather dependent at this time of year.
