Wild dolphins have been visiting the shoreline at Monkey Mia virtually every day for over 40 years, providing a unique opportunity to see them in their natural habitat. It is considered one of the best and most reliable places for dolphin encounters. Visitors can also learn about dolphin biology, behavior, and the Shark Bay World Heritage Area through interpretive displays at the site. The dolphin experiences are dependent on the dolphins' visits to the beach, with fish offered during their first three visits between 7:45 am and 12 noon.
In addition to dolphin encounters, Monkey Mia and the surrounding Shark Bay region offer a range of activities such as four-wheel drive trips, Aboriginal cultural tours, fishing charters, cruising, and camel rides. The Shark Bay World Heritage Discovery Centre in Denham provides information about the region's natural attractions, including vast seagrass meadows and exceptional fishing opportunities.
The area is rich in marine life, with diverse species such as sharks, turtles, and fish inhabiting the waters. With numerous activities and attractions nearby, Shark Bay is an ideal destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.
