Souvenir & Gift Store - Brand New Products

We are happy to announce our new partnership with Precious Plastic Margaret River . A non-profit organization that makes sustainable products out of plastic lids and empowers businesses, schools, and other community groups to a more circular economy.

We will not only be selling their amazing products in our Gift & Souvenir Store at the Dolphin Discovery Centre, making them available to our over 60,000 visitors per year but we are also a collection point for plastic bottle tops.

The idea is simple and fascinating. Plastic bottle tops from milk cartons and similar are not getting recycled through our Yellow Bin System and end up on landfill. But through Precious Plastics, they get a new life as fabulous useful products, taking recycling seriously and to the next level

.

You are able to see and purchase the products now in our store open daily 9am – 3pm. Perfect gift ideas for yourself or a loved one!

Mysterious Crab Bait Thieves

The ‘Mysterious Crab Bait Thieves’ have arrived exclusively to our Theatre.

A world-first short film about local Bunbury dolphins and how they learned to steal crab bait from fishermen. Runs daily in the Interpretive Centre Theatre (9am – 3pm) along with other informative and educational short films.

We also provide information for crabbers and how they can protect their bait by adjusting their baiting method. This secures the crab bait and keeps the dolphins healthier.
