Swim with the Dolphins tour was absolutely amazing. Yvette and her wonderful team of volunteers gave us a life experience we could only dream of. The whole morning worked like clockwork. Yvette was very knowledgeable and knew just when we should enter and exit the water with the dolphins. The dolphins were all around us, below us and looking at us. The volunteers were also amazing and kept us safe and well looked after throughout the whole experience. We had well over an hour in the water with the dolphins very close to us. All equipment was provided and of a high-quality. This is a trip I can highly recommend.

Honestly one of the best experiences I’ve been to in WA. It’s been so good I went with a friend then brought my mum and partner along about a month after! Noodles was my guide on both tours and he’s a great asset to your team he is really knowledgeable and friendly. Would recommend this to anyone of all ages!

Magical. Koombana Bay, where the Centre is located, became my morning sanctuary during a holiday in Bunbury. I'd walk to the beach and sit on the sand from around 7am, and guaranteed each morning, a dolphin or two would show up. Mostly it was Cracker, a frequent visitor to the Centre where she would swim in close proximity to the visitors, under the supervision of the Centre's lovely volunteers. They swim very close to you. It's incredible. The Centre itself is very well designed and laid out, with interesting installations and aquariums, and educational resources. The shop is well stocked and the cafe is lovely too. If you're in the area, it's a no-brainer to stop by, but also worth travelling from further afield, for a truly unique experience while also supporting a project that is crucial for marine life and environmental stewardship. I'm travelling back to Bunbury soon, and I'll be heading back to Koombana Bay first chance I get!

Incredible!!! So happy I got to see cracker the dolphin so close at shore! Arrive at 8am out the front of the centre where volunteers guide you for the free interaction. The discovery centre also is informative with fish tanks with turtles, octopus, and some hands on displays for the kids. There is also a cafe. A great experience highly recomend.

Didn't do this because I did monkey mia but I did watch from a far it was a bit disappointing for the people that did as only one Dolphin came in, I guess they had better things to do than entertain us humans and thats ok by me. However the Aquarium was great to watch the feeds, I am a sucker for tropical fish and corals. Gift shop was very reasonable .

Had a wonderful 90min cruise captained by Noodles who was such a lovely engaging knowledgeable lad. Saw lots of dolphins and wild birds and even got a great recommendation for a seafood restaurant for lunch afterwards, thanks Noodles the food was great! Highly recommend 👍👍👍

The swimming with dolphins was awesome! We spent quite a long time with the dolphins in the water. Our guide Kim and the volunteers were great and really took care of the dolphins. As they are wild animals we were rather waiting for them to approach us, than swimming towards them. For our group that worked out perfectly, the dolphins came to us, circled us several times and swam right besides and beneath us. Great experience and highly recommendable.
