Dolphin Feeding at Tin Can Bay

A magical morning with wild dolphins!

Start your day with a truly special encounter at Tin Can Bay, one of the few places in Australia where you can meet the rare Australian Humpback Dolphin in the wild.

Each morning, a small pod of these gentle, intelligent creatures often glide through Schnapper Creek into the Tin Can Bay Marina, offering visitors the unforgettable chance to see them up close as they feed and play.

Arrive early (around 8am) to watch the dolphins’ natural morning routine and, if you’re lucky, join in a supervised feeding experience with the friendly team at Barnacles Café & Dolphin Feeding. While sightings are frequent, these dolphins are wild and free, making every encounter truly one-of-a-kind.

Whether you’re hand-feeding a dolphin or simply soaking in the peaceful beauty of the marina, this experience is a perfect reminder of the magic that happens when humans and nature connect.
