Fantastic morning learning & feeding the local dolphin population. Staff presentation was very informative, even the kids loved it. Cafe was closed on a monday morning so cant comment, but the menu does look good. Special shoutout to Peter, loved the pink bunny ears mate!

Didn't eat at the restaurant, but the dolphins feeding was great. The presentation starts at 7.00am with a brief information session, then the feed starts at 8am. Dont 🐝 too worried if you're running late. The feeding is very orderly with no need to rush or push to the front. They also rotate the front viewing so everyone can get a chance to see. You get one fish for $15, and it lasts maybe 2 minutes in the water with the dolphins, no petting allowed. Definitely better experience with wild animals than viewing in a zoo.

I was in absolute heaven being here last weekend. I loved it so much I returned the very next day. All volunteers were absolutely lovely and friendly ( including the 2 gentlemen at the front gate, to the lady with the long blonde hair who was taking the orders in the canteen, to Annette & Roger and every other volunteer on both of the days ) . We ordered brekkie on our first day and the vegetarian wrap and coffees were so nice too - very impressive. These volunteers all showed such a huge respect for the dolphins too and also ensure that they remain safe in their own environment and ……. they were so organised too. They were even better than the Brisbane Entertainment Centre as I was there on the Tuesday before and it was a mess !! Considering they are all volunteering too - it’s so impressive to see. :-) On the second day at Barnacles, the dolphins were very playful and on both days, they had also brought gifts on their rostrums, it was just adorable. I would highly recommend going there and feeding the dolphins too, it’s really worth your time and money.

One of my favourite places on earth... so special to he able to feed the wild dolphins, the volunteers are welcoming and just want you to experience the beauty of these dolphins 🐬 and in top of that the cafe serves the best food. Get there early so you do miss the Dolphins arriving

Quite a busy cafe during the dolphin feeding experience, so worthwhile getting your order in early, otherwise it can take some time to get served. Food portions looked sizeable, and the coffee was pretty reasonable too. Live music was playing out the front of the venue at around 8AM which was a nice addition.

Had a wonderful time at Barnacles with the family. Feeding the dolphins was a lovely experience for my little one, and for the adults too. The feeding sessions are well organised by the amazing team of volunteers, who deeply care about the animals and deliver a valuable message to visitors about conservation and respect for dolphins and wildlife in general. Peter is fantastic (he told us to say that lol); but seriously, he and all the volunteers are wonderful. The cafe provides nice coffee and breakfast, and pets are welcome which is a huge bonus for us. 100% recommended.

School holidays so it was very busy, if you have never seen a dolphin then it would be worthwhile. You can get close up, volunteers are very good and helpful. It’s a private business so all proceeds go to the business which is interesting given it’s all run by volunteers.

Had breakfast here - Eggs Benny with mushrooms, and hot chocolate. Friendly and prompt service - even got a marshmallow with the hot chocolate. View was great and a few of the "locals" tried to help me finish my meal.

Was absolutely great food! I’ve never had a bad meal from here and I have eaten plenty of food from here. Great little place at Tin Can Bay.. 5 Stars…..

Service was exceptional - bright, upbeat and welcoming! Beautiful location - you can listen to the wattle birds in the grevillias and look out to Fraser island in the distance. Oh and the food was surprisingly excellent!! Lots of perfectly cooked beef in the Thai beef salad, and perfectly poached egg on the Caesar salad! Delicious fresh juice. Couldn’t have hope for a better experience! Thank you!

We didn’t wait long because we were 2nd in line but the others waited more than 20min . . The menu here is fabulous and the juice I ordered was delicious as was my wife’s coffee and the children gulped down the milkshake! There are good amounts of seating of different configurations and styles which makes for a comfortable spot and the artwork is appreciated alongside various items for sale. Some improvements I suggest are using metal straws and cups instead of plastic! There are sustainable alternatives for all plastic things and I would like to see them implemented at this venue.

This little Cafe was just gorgeous. From the lovely young ladies who served us, to the own who took time to have a chat. Food was amazing and very well priced. Next trip we will be back.

We really enjoyed the atmosphere there as they seemed rather friendly. We went about 10am for breakfast/morning tea in the winter right after a rather chilly night and the sun was warming the outta tables nicely and the tide was out but the scenery was beautiful. They sell some local knitting in the shop. So I think Bennie's $16? and a knitted poncho $32?, perfect for the colder seasons and some stuffed teddies and dollies. We had a large orange juice with chicken and cheese with avocado toastie. As well as a large mocha and apple/rhubarb muffin with pink cream (breast cancer awareness week) for about $23 -$26.

Had to wipe down my own table, just like the lady at the next. Where have the curious, milk-loving Banana Birds got to? Found out that I am NOT a fan of a dry rub on steak! The bottled sweet chili sauce is unnecessarily awful & the coffee is so bitter that I could not even finish an espresso!!

I am impressed and thoroughly enjoyed our day out on the water at Tin Can Bay. Tin Can Bay Boat Hire provided me with a walk on and walk off service for a small fee even though they are normally a tow and go boat hire. The bait and tackle shop they run is also well stocked with most the stuff you need and the stuff you forget. Boat handled well and very fuel efficient, all maps, stereo radio were included. Will use again...

Beautiful cruise of tin can bay

Great day on the water with the kids. Jim and Naomi were very knowledgeable of the local waters. They made it easy for us interstaters to enjoy a day out on the water.

We had an awsome day out on the water at tin can bay, and the guys at tin can bay boat hire are the most down to earth nicest people, we couldn't fault them or the boat, we highly recommend these guys, we will definitely be using their services in the future👍👍👍

Great place and exceptional service I took two of my grandsons fishing,Had everything at the one place

Waited for over an hour to hear back from him as the website said there was a boat for hire. All we got back was a text saying no boats available. Disappointing.

You guys are fantastic and prices are very affordable. Worth the visit. Thanks Margret!
