It\u2019s an impressive start to a great day, with the beautiful creatures swimming right up to the funny two-legged visitors standing knee-deep in the warm water, ready to say hello and collect their treats.<\/p>\n<p>The dolphin feeding is permitted and regulated by the Queensland Government and the local volunteers do a great job ensuring that the daily ritual is a safe and enjoyable experience for dolphins and humans alike. Visitors are only allowed to feed fish purchased on site (which is unprocessed and agrees with them) and the total amount distributed per day is limited to ensure the dolphins always leave a little hungry. After all, these are wild animals and we don\u2019t want them to forget how to fend for themselves. The fish they get in Tin Can Bay is a morning snack to get them off to a good start, but they don\u2019t depend on it for sustenance.<\/p>\n<p>Scarry, the estuarine dolphin who started the tradition, hasn\u2019t been seen in years, but her son Mystique and granddaughter Harmony still visit regularly, along with two other dolphins nicknamed Patch and Valentine. As with any wild animal experience, there is no absolute guarantee that we will see dolphins in Tin Can Bay, but it\u2019s extremely rare for none of these friendly locals to show up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For those who don\u2019t have time for a full Fraser Island Tour, we offer amazing Cooloola National Park Day Tours, which give you what we like to call \u201ca glimpse of Fraser Island\u201d \u2013 in one action-packed day, you can see sandy beaches, towering dunes, lush rainforests\u2026 aaand the tour also includes one special experience<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":9772,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4665","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-noosa-and-the-sunshine-coast"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Go Dolphin Feeding at Tin Can Bay with Drop Bear Adventures - Drop Bear Adventures<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Do you love this magical animals as much as we do?
