Dolphin Feeding at Tin Can Bay

Tin Can Bay is one of the few places where visitors can regularly encounter the rare Australian Humpback Dolphin.

Each morning, a small pod of Australian Humpback Dolphins may be spotted swimming through the waters of Schnapper Creek into the Tin Can Bay Marina. These intelligent marine mammals feed on squid, fish, and crustaceans and are most active in the early hours. This feeding pattern offers visitors a unique opportunity to witness the dolphins up close in their natural habitat. While sightings at the Tin Can Bay Marina are frequent around 8am most mornings, the dolphins are wild animals and their movements remain unpredictable. Whether you're lucky enough to witness the dolphins up close or simply enjoy the tranquil setting of Tin Can Bay Marina, this experience offers a special connection to nature.

For more information on the dolphin feeding experience, visitors are encouraged to visit Barnacles Café & Dolphin Feeding. No bookings are required.
