Introducing Monkey Mia
World-famous for the wild dolphins that turn up in the shallow water for feeding each day, the beach resort of Monkey Mia (admission adult/child/family $6/2/12), 26km northeast of Denham, now tops many travellers’ list of things to do. It’s so popular that the morning feeding session (around 7.45am) is a bit of a circus and it’s hard to get close to the action; hang around after everyone leaves until the second feeding for a more satisfying experience.
The DEC Dolphin Information Centre (9948 1366; 7.30am-4pm) has lots of info, as well as showing videos and hosting presentations. There are great books for sale in the shop and you can also buy tour tickets here.
