Monkey Mia Conservation Park

Don’t miss the unique dolphin experience where a group of wild dolphins are offered a snack of local fish - but not too much so they can still forage naturally. The dolphins can be fed up to three times daily. 

Dugongs, sharks, rays, turtles, humpback whales and lots of fish can be seen from the ocean or on charter tours in the area. If you want to see more of the landscape, jump on a four-wheel drive tour and explore the contrast of the red sand dunes and secluded white beaches. Or, if you want to get up in the air, scenic flights offer a great perspective as well. Tours can be booked at the Conservation Centre. 

The Wulyibidi Yaninyina Trail, the Malgana Aboriginal term for ‘Walking Peron,’ has three easy-to-moderate loop options of different lengths starting near the Conservation Centre. The walk is scattered with information on the park’s conservation values and cultural history. Early morning and late afternoons are peak times for the bird life.

Pop into the visitor centre and meet with friendly staff to find out more about the park. There's a small theatre playing films on the dolphins and the spectacular Shark Bay World Heritage Area. 

A reserve fee does apply at the entry to the park which is not covered by a Park Pass. These funds go back into the management and conservation of the park.

Camping is not permitted in the Monkey Mia parking area. The RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort has full accommodation facilities.

Review - Dolphins, dolphins, dolphins 

The dolphin experience is the only way to start your day in Monkey Mia … One day we had nine dolphins who came to say hello but Piccolo was my favourite. The pelican security team who accompany the dolphins are also a hoot! And don’t forget to check the turtles under the jetty. Birt1964 – Trip Advisor
