Within easy reach from Perth and Canarvon, the Monkey Mia dolphin resort is ideal for dolphin lovers from all over the world - like me.
Though there are many dolphins in the Monkey Mia waters there are usually
about 7 dolphins that regularly come into the beach into the resort's 'dolphin interaction area'.
The dolphins are spotted bottlenose dolphins and there are 3 mature adults and 4 younger dolphins
that love to come in and meet people. Sparky, Puck, Nicky, Piccolo, Shock, Kiya and Surprise
are all lively dolphins and enjoy swimming and playing in front of the large numbers of people
that come to watch them.
There are up to 3 feeds a day (depending on when the dolphins come and
visit) where if you are fortunate (like I was) you may be chosen to feed a dolphin or two.

For me the whole experience was really great and was like nothing I have experienced before.
There are rangers there to supervise the visitors, as the dolphins know what they are doing, and
they give talks during each session about not only the dolphins in general but also about the
research team based at Monkey Mia and lots of other useful bits of information about some of the
individuals in particular.
After being told about the different dolphins I was able to identify them by their unique dorsal fins - why don't you have a go…
If you haven't been to Monkey Mia before I would thoroughly recommend it. You can meet many of the dolphins including Shock and Nicky.
