Fodor's Expert Review Dolphin Discovery Centre

As Bunbury's favorite attraction, this not-for-profit conservation-first organization welcomes 80,000 visitors each year. Get up close to wild dolphins at the Dolphin Discovery Centre. Upward of 200 dolphins have been identified in Koombana Bay—swim with them, book an eco-cruise, or stay on the beach and wade into the interaction zone. Enjoy a unique, immersive experience at the discovery center, which enjoyed a A$2 million refurbishment in 2018, with its digital 360-degree dolphinarium, interpretive panels, theater, aquariums, dolphin displays, on-site café, gift shop, and a rooftop bar perfect for cocktails at sunset.

Call first to book the weather-dependent swim and eco-cruises. Dolphin encounters are not guaranteed, but the chances are higher in the warmer months.
