Monkey Mia

Monkey Mia is world-renowned for its friendly dolphins which visit its shores almost daily.

Monkey Mia is a conservation park area that's a must-visit destination for families and nature lovers alike. Best known as home to the Monkey Mia dolphins, famous for their ritual of swimming to shore most days to interact with humans, and who attract thousands of people to Australia's Shark Bay region each year, Monkey Mia is also the perfect place to unwind and to discover the wonders of the surrounding area.

Access to the conservation park is subject to a Reserve fee - this is different to a National Park pass. You can also learn more about these fascinating Monkey Mia dolphins at the Dolphin Information Centre, the proceeds of which support WA’s Monkey Mia Appeal Trust.

Scenic flights allow you to explore the Shark Bay area on a flight over the coastal area. There are ample opportunities to see sharks, rays and turtles, perhaps even humpback whales and the elusive dugongs. Watch the cliffs of Francois Peron National Park glow red and orange with a late afternoon flight at sunset. Flights depart from Monkey Mia Airport with a variety of tours on offer.
