Tour Description
To swim amongst dolphins and seals is one of the great experiences of life. Swimming in their natural environment, not far from the coast of Melbourne, you can watch them, hear them, and just delight in them. The resident seals and dolphins of Port Phillip Bay are so close, yet another world!
Whether you choose to swim with the seals and dolphins or just observe them from the comfort of the boat, you will never forget this amazing experience. Our cruises commence with an introductory on-board snorkel demonstration, after which we travel out into the sheltered shallows of Port Phillip Bay. We then head off to Chinaman's Hat where you can put your newfound skills into action, a local spot where the ever curious Australian fur seals are waiting to share the water world with you. You will get to swim with the seals for approximately 25 minutes before continuing on your cruise. From Chinaman's Hat, we cruise over to Popes Eye, (Marine National Park) for a look at the Australasian Gannets and a 30 minute snorkel around Victoria’s oldest marine national park. From there on, we cruise magnificent Port Phillip Bay in search of the inspiring bottle-nosed dolphins that we call our friends. When the dolphins are located, it's on with your mask and snorkel and you enter the water, swimming into their domain. You will get to swim with the dolphins for 5 x 10 minute intervals. This is truly an awesome experience and one you will never forget! As all our cruises are weather dependent please allow for some flexibility due to weather and water conditions. While our guests have been enjoying our 94% success rate of swimming with the dolphins, it must be appreciated that there are no guarantees or refunds. Whether sightseeing or snorkelling, your seal and dolphin encounter on board our boat will be one to remember forever. PLEASE NOTE: This experience is available from September - April ONLY.
