Tangalooma Wild Dolphin Feeding - reviews,open hours,photo spots,things to do | WanderBoat AI Trip Planner

You can feed wild dolphins directly in the sea and it's amazing. The staff ranning it takes great care that the dolphins are not overfed (merely 10% of their daily intake is fed during these feedings) and they take good care that the dolphins are not harmed. You have to wash off all sunscreen or mosquito repellent or skincare products and sanitize your hands before. If you're having a cold/flu or anythong similar, you're not allowed to take part in the feeding. You're not allowed to touch the dolphins. You have to follow the instructions of the staff. No photos or videos with the flash turned on. Even the photographer of the resort that takes photos takes care that she/he is beyond the dolphins body when taking photos with a flash. Please stick to the rules to protect the dolphins and keep that product running. People not having bookings in the resort for an overnight stay can't register to feed the dolphins, but watch it from the jetty instead.

Fed 2 dolphins. I think the order of the dolphins made it a bit better. Of the bucket of fish, I grabbed the ONLY wrong fish haha My first feed was to Echo. Echo was a little rough, scared me because I didn’t expect him to push forwards so much, sort of pushed me backwards a bit. My second feed was to Comet. I was expecting the chance of roughness so when Comet went for the bite I moved back a little scared that he’d get my hand in his mouth. Although Comet was gentle so I did pull the fish away from him 😅 just glad he was still gentle afterwards and went for his bite slowly.

Did an Explorer bus trip from the Carnival Splendor today . The resort is just stunning with a huge variety of activity options & is now on my bucket list.. HOWEVER our bus driver Mark gave absolutely NO narration, information or descriptions on the shipwrecks, history or lay of the land as apparently the microphone wasn't working? Why the hell NOT❓❓ At $170 for a day tour, we learnt nothing, zero nothing which was very disappointing to all the first time visitors Australian & International visitors. The only reason we learnt anything on the return trip was because a passenger was sitting up in the front seat asking questions.. Brett, the other driver was thoroughly informative & friends on his bus advised us of his expert narration. A total waste of money. The lunch sandwiches were delicious!

Completely overrated! The whole dolphin experience is extremely poorly managed. You feel right from the word 'Go!' that everything is about them making money. There's a lot of utter BS like don't get close to the dolphins with a camera or using a flash light when taking pictures using your mobile phone, or like you need to share 1 little fish per family to feed the poor dolphin, which by the way they're completely trained (claimed to be wild but pretty obvious they're almost domesticated, and doing tricks). All in all, it's a huge disappointment! I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, regardless of how fond you are about dolphins. Better not waste your time, money, and nerves

I definitely would do it again - the dolphin experience is something I won't forget and it's your chance to see a wild dolphin up close
