We get some really lovely testimonials and I’ve decided to put them on their own page. If anyone is on Trip Advisor though and would like to post their comments there – that would also be fantastic! – Tiffany, Marketing Dolphin Discovery Centre – tiffany@dolphindiscovery.com.au

These dolphins are completely in their natural habitat and it is so lovely to see them. We got there for 8.30am after a long drive and within about half an hour the bell rang and we stood in the water whilst a wild dolphin came swimming around us freely. He hung around for about half an hour. They fed him a small treat (an equivalent to a chocolate bar) so he still has to hunt for his own food to survive. The dolphins come into the bay because it is shallow and safe for them to breed and live. They come to the shore because they trust the people, you aren’t allowed to touch them it is up to the dolphin if it wants to come along to you and touch you. After about another half an hour the bell rang again and we went back into the water with the dolphins. At 11am we went on the Eco cruise which was also absolutely amazing – we was constantly looking at dolphins (there are about 200 dolphins that live in the bay during the mating season which ends at the end of April.) We saw the dolphins resting, playing, chasing fish.
It is a truly amazing experience! Next time I will be sure to go in the summer and get there earlier so I can do the swim with them.
All the people are volunteers and really tell you a lot of facts about the dolphins. Laura 3119 via Trip Advisor

Due to weather we didn’t get to be in water with dolphins but the whole experience is wonderful. All the volunteers are so friendly & share experiences with you happily. Lots to see inside also & well worth visiting whatever the weather or your age.
My friend from UK was very impressed. Vanessa K, via Trip Advisor

he highlight of this place is the up close and personal view of wild Dolphins – but only if you are prepared to stand in knee-deep water and get the occassional splash from these amazing animals. There’s a gift shop with lots of quirky gifts and souvenirs and also a bit of an educational area – but that really isn’t the best part. Go early in the morning and wear shorts. You won’t be disappointed. dandd_au, via Trip Advisor

My sister was visiting me in Perth from the UK in March this year and one of her all time wishes was to swim with dolphins so my task was set. Finding a experience for her to try in their most natural environment I thought was going to be a task which would be impossible - but no – thanks to The Dolphin Experience in Bunbury it was very simple a quick call the the reservation staff and a credit card number and it was all done quick as a flash. On the day of the swim it was a cool dull morning and we thought that the trip would be cancelled due to the weather but to our excitement it was not and we were all suited up with our wet suits and soon off in the boat for our swim experience. The staff we absolutely excellant and very informative giving us the knowledge of dolpin habits and it was not long before we saw a family with a very small immature swimming baby alongside us. Once we were at the appropriate place where is was safe for us to enter the water we were treated to an up close and personal experience with wild dolphins coming up to us and swimming under us – an experience that everyone should have once in their lifetime.

Why would you spend 2 days out of your holiday to go to Monkey Mia to have the dolphins come swimming up to you paddling in the water when you can do the same thing at Bunbury. Had 3 dolphins come in and swim around us for about 10 minutes. Staff very helpful and informative. We something like this on the east coast. Kaye Via Trip Advisor

I’m sorry I’ve been so tardy in saying Thank You, but we have had a very busy time with family over from the UK.
It really was a wonderful trip, as too was the beach interaction with the dolphins – and I believe the experience is an absolute must for anyone visiting Bunbury. Thank you again. Kind Regards, Jo via email

Hi, we have just spent the past week and a half in Bunbury and came to your centre most days as well as doing the Eco Cruise. I had to drop you a note to say THANK YOU so much to all the wonderful volunteers and staff working there. Everyone we met was lovely and spent so much time interacting with my two young children and telling them all about the sea creatures in the centre, they never wanted to leave! And of course the dolphins visiting was just magical! M Hood via Facebook

I just wanted to write and say thank you to the staff and volunteers at the Discovery Centre for making my experience a greatly rewarding one upon my visits. I am a person with a physical disability, and yet found that it was absolutely no barrier to being able to enjoy what the Centre offers. I did both the ‘sighting’ early one morning, and also the snorkelling interaction cruise. The staff were extremely helpful and accommodating – helping me at every step of the way to get around and participate in as much as possible. I remember thinking at the time that I had not encountered such willing and cheerful assistance in a very long time. So thank you to all at the Centre and may the new year bring you luck and many more sightings

Hi, I wanted to write to you & let you know how much we enjoyed our recent visit. We were there the week before Christmas. We came twice during our break in Bunbury. The first visit there were so many new dolphins that had never visited before, so we were told by your staff. There were 10 or so dolphins that came to visit & it was wonderful. Your staff throughout the whole centre were so helpful & really entertained the children. There is so much more to do than we thought & ended up spending the whole morning with you. We came from Perth & would recommend anyone to make the short journey as it is really worth it. My daughters used the word ‘magical’ & I totally agree with them. It was such good value for money too. Well done to all involved. Regards T Nunnington – Perth WA via Email
