Monkey Mia Conservation Park entry station — Attraction in Monkey Mia

A beautiful spot - white sandy beaches, short beach walks through the conservation park, and wildlife. As others mention, you are charged an entry fee at the gate on arrival. $15 per adult, $5 per child, or $35 per family pass (Max 2 adults & 2 children). This is not included in any accommodation booking you may have at the RAC Resort or DBCA Parks Pass. Dolphin feedings only occur in the morning (up to 3 times). Personally, I'm of the opinion that the fee is extortionate. Primarily because I had no interest in supporting or attending the dolphin show. However, I appreciate that for some, this may be the only time they have an opportunity to get up close to dolphins.

The food at the restaurant is ok, but you are pretty much a captive audience, so don't expect value for money. That said, the view is wonderful, especially for an evening meal.

A few people got to put their feet in the water, but every time the dolphins got close, they made them go back on the sand. The public doesn’t get to feed the dolphins, just the staff feeds them a couple of pieces of fish and that’s it. Unless you’ve never seen a dolphin before, it’s not worth the drive out to Monkey Mia. You’re better off taking a day trip to Penguin Island in Rockingham if you live in Perth. I get the feeling that while the staff tell you the restrictions are for the good of the dolphins, it’s really all about keeping people coming to their...

We drove here as we explored Denham and the surrounding NP but when we got here we were confronted with a $15 fee each, which personally to see a beach we were not happy to pay this at the gate which had an attendant taking payments via eftpos. Living full time on the road we have to be wise with our money and this is something we were not keen to spend our money on. We decided to turn around as there are amazing beaches nearby, maybe it was the wrong decision but having already fed a dolphin before it was nothing too exciting for us to stay.
