I know you can swim with dolphins at SeaWorld but does anyone know where else, if anywhere, in Qld, preferably central or South that you can also swim with them?? and costs involved?? Thanks in advance............... C x

Drive up to Rainbow area, tin can bay that area, i cant exaclty remember.

Its north of brisbane, but worth the trip and stop over if you choose.

Barnacles Cafe @ Tin Can Bay have a regular dolphin feeding session. Each morning between 7 & 8am they hand feed a couple of wild dolphins. They have names for them Mystique & Scarry were the old ones though there are a few regular visiting ones. It's a pain in the arse when the trippers are standing all over the boat ramp as your trying to launch your boat, I've nearly cleaned a few up just recently. There are lines marked now so the tourists know where they shouldn't be
If you go and happen to see a grumpy old bloke in a 6m Quintrex aiming for wayward trippers You'll know it's me

The absolute best place to really swim with dolphins is Kaikoura on the NZ South Island (sorry I know its not Qld). Its out in the open ocean, sure the water is cold but they give you a wetsuit.

I fed wild dolphins at Tangalooma resort on Moreton Island.They feed them every night at about 6 I think.Rani was a bit grumpy and butted my knee with his snout cos I wasnt quick enough with the fish.

swimming with sharks would make you look much cooler to your kids.....

I've swum with dolphins on quite a few occasions, merely by visiting my beach and going surfing . Didn't cost me a cent, either.
