Wade into the shallows at sunset as wild Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins glide in to feed from your hand — one of Australia's most intimate wildlife encounters, supervised by marine biologists.
What to expect
As the sun dips over Moreton Bay, resort rangers hand you a small bucket of fish and lead you knee-deep into the warm shallows. Wild dolphins — not captive animals — arrive on their own schedule, often accompanied by their calves. A marine biologist narrates the encounter and photographs the interaction for you. The sense of privilege is absolute: these dolphins return nightly entirely by choice.
Good to know
Dolphin feeding occurs at sunset, so confirm your ship's all-aboard time before booking — late-season departures are typically fine. The resort jetty is the cruise tender landing point, so no extra transfer is needed. Pre-book directly via the resort website as participation numbers are strictly capped.
