Meet Bunbury’s marine locals at the Dolphin Discovery Centre, with dolphin eco-cruises, interactive aquarium experiences and inspiring sea turtle rescue and rehabilitation.

• Located on Koombana Bay in Bunbury, the Dolphin Discovery Centre is home to a population of around 100–200 Bottlenose Dolphins, with eco-cruises offering the chance to see them in their natural environment.
• The 1–1.5-hour cruises get visitors close to the dolphins while keeping them dry, with skippers sharing insights about their behaviour and habitat. Tours are licensed by Parks and Wildlife and eco-tourism certified.
• Explore 14 tanks and aquariums showcasing marine life from the river to the reef, including octopus, sharks and tropical fish, plus a 360-degree Digital Dolphinarium and interactive displays.
• The Centre has rescued sea turtles for more than 25 years, rehabilitating stranded turtles before releasing them back into the ocean with the help of Parks and Wildlife.
• Visitors can combine dolphin cruises, marine exhibits, feeding sessions and turtle encounters, with opportunities to get even closer to the wildlife through the Centre’s experiences.
