The Dolphin Discovery Centre is a non-profit organisation committed to dolphin research, education, conservation and tourism. The Centre was opened in 1994, and is the first Centre in Australia dedicated entirely to dolphin research.

The Centre is located in Bunbury, a thriving city approximately 180 kilometres south of Perth in Western Australia. Facing Koombana Bay to the North, the Centre enables people to interact with Bottlenose dolphins in a variety of ways.

There are over a 100 dolphins living in the Bay and groups of them regularly visit the shallow waters in front of the Centre.

WHERE DO YOU FIND US? Koombana Drive, Bunbury. Travelling from Perth ... As you approach Bunbury there is a very large roundabout, take the third exit, this is Koombana Drive. We are 2.1 kms along on the right hand side. Travelling from the south ... it is a more direct approach if you take the Bunbury By-pass road which is Robertson Drive. Continue through the traffic lights until you come to the large roundabout, then take the second exit. Once again we are 2.1 kms along on the right hand side.
