Shark Bay lies on the extreme western coast of Australia between 24 and 27 degrees south of the equator. It is approximately 800km north of Perth, the capital of the state of Western Australia. Shark Bay comprises two large, shallow embayments, numerous islands and a coastline over 1500km long.
Each morning for more than 40 years wild bottlenose dolphins have swum to the shallows of Monkey Mia, in the Shark Bay World Heritage Area, to visit and interact with people. This rare and famous animal encounter is one of the world’s great wildlife experiences.
