Every morning at 8am the dolphins come down to the jetty to get a feed.
The pod of up to 8 dolphins reside in the local area around Tin Can Bay. The feeding has gone on over generations of dolphins as a result of fisherman starting many years ago when a dolphin was nursed back to health after being badly injured.
The number of dolphins showing up for a feed of fish varies each day. Often it is only about 2 or 3.
The feeding is primarily for the young kids but anyone can have a go. The cost is a gold coin donation.

Helpfulness
Feeding the Dolphins would be an awesome experience, but you need to be out there quite early in the morning. They told us around 7am would be a good time.
Unfortunately we arrived later in the day, so did not get to do this.
Later that day we we headed off for Rainbow Beach.
