Tin Can Bay Dolphin Feeding

Tin Can Bay Dolphin Feeding

Giving visitors and locals the opportunity to feed some of natures most interesting and intelligent creatures, Tin Can Bay Dolphin Feeding is one of the few locations in Queensland where you can hand feed a wild dolphin. The experience itself is free, however due to Queensland government regulation fish must be purchased from our retailer onsite. Include Tin Can Bay Dolphin Feeding in your travel plans and feed the rare Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphin for free. An experience to be treasured for a lifetime.


If you have the opportunity to feed dolphins and you don’t do it, you’re crazy. Tin Can Bay is almost a two hour drive from the Sunshine Coast via Gympie but it’s well worth the trip if you’re in the region. The rare Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins have been coming to feed at Tin Can Bay for 30 years, with this group the third generation. The dolphins arrive for feeding any time between 7am and 10am but they are wild animals so there are no guarantees. Fish is supplied for a small donation and there are staff on hand to answer all your questions. Phone ahead to confirm feeding times and get there early, as it’s an experience not to be missed. ...read more
