During our family holiday to Tin Can Bay, we visited the well known Tin Can Bay Dolphin Centre. The Centre is located at the Boat Ramp at Norman Point, Tin Can Bay, Queensland, and is one of the few places where you can witness and interact with the rare wild Indio-Pacific Humpback Dolphins.

Dolphin Feeding at Tin Can Bay is regulated by the Queensland Government and local residents have been interacting and hand-feeding a small number of Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphins in the area for over 30 years. This practice is somewhat controversial and was reviewed again recently by the Queensland Government in 2013.

| We thought this Little Black Cormorant at Tin Can Bay Dolphin Centre was a bit cheeky! |
The children had a lovely time feeding the dolphins and getting to see them up close. During our visit this "tourist attraction" was very popular, despite us arriving early. We enjoyed the educational talks about the Dolphins and their history and how the hand feeding came about at Tin Can Bay.
