What to expect

Monkey Mia is a popular tourist destination known for its friendly dolphins that have been visiting the shore for over 50 years. The area is also home to other wildlife such as dugongs, sharks, rays, turtles, and a variety of fish. Visitors can explore the natural and cultural history of the area along the Wulyibidi Yaninyina trail, a 1.5 km loop walk over dunes and along the beach. The Monkey Mia dolphin experience is one of the world's great wildlife experiences, where visitors can see dolphins up close and learn about their behavior and ecology. The area is also a great place for birdwatching, with pelicans and emus often seen near the water. The Monkey Mia Recreation Zone has strict regulations to ensure the safety and well-being of the dolphins, including prohibitions on boating, swimming, and fishing in certain areas
