The reason why I planned such a long drive from Perth to Monkey Mia for this trip was for the wild dolphin feeding that happened here in Monkey Mia every morning. As such, no matter how tired we are or how early we need to wake up, we cannot miss the highlight of our trip. By 7:30am, there was already a long stretch of people lining up along the shore, waiting for the wild dolphins to arrive.
After waited for about 30mins, we still did not see any sign of dolphins. According to some websites, it mentioned that out of 365 days in a year, there is only an average of 7-8 days when the dolphins do not appear. At that point in time, we really hope we were not so unfortunate. Out of sudden, we heard someone shouted:"There"! Everyone automatically looked at the direction where he's pointing to. And yes, there they come. At least 4-5 of them. Within minutes, the dolphins were just a few body length from us.
Only a few lucky ones got selected to hand feed the dolphin. This is the first time we got so close to wild dolphins.
Throughout the session, Jerlene and Javier did not show much interest. In fact, they spent most of the time playing sand on the beach while I was busy taking pictures of the dolphins.
After the dolphin feeding session ended, Tracy, Jerlene and Javier were back to their shell picking exercise.
We spent quite sometimes on the beach as that's what I've promised to Jerlene and Javier yesterday. Great to see that the kids were enjoying themselves.
