Dolphins:
The highlight of any stay is the opportunity to interact closely with nature. Each evening the Tangalooma Dolphins eagerly swim up to the beach, adjacent to the well-lit jetty, where they are hand fed fresh fish by our Marine biologists, their staff and Resort guests. Whether you are feeding the Dolphins or simply watching from the jetty stadium, the experience is unforgettable. Dolphin feeding is suitable for all ages, should children require assistance you may carry them in to the water or the staff are happy to assist.
Once you arrive at Tangalooma Wild Dolphin resort it's recommended that you visit their Marine Research and Education Centre to register or participate in the many different activities they provide to guests. If you are participating in the Dolphin feeding, please be down at the jetty by the scheduled feed time or you may be unable to participate. Be sure to remember your Dolphin feeding experience and purchase your Photos from the Tangalooma Photo Shop.
Please Note: The Dolphin Feeding Program operates to strict guidelines, therefore restrictions on feeding apply. The number of guests able to feed the dolphins will depend on weather and tidal conditions and dolphin attendance, although generally all Resort house Guests are able to participate in the feeding program.
