I visited here and have to say....this is a MUST DO for every visitor to Nelson Bay. The ride into the bay was pleasant, the waves weren't too choppy at all, and the range of drinks and snacks on board was adequate, considering the hilghlight is seen on deck. The staff were so friendly, offering assistance to people with mobility issues...an outstanding feature of the trip. And then, there was the stars of the day...the dolphins. Its almost as though the staff had some sort of magical wand that attracted these wild animals. The dolphins frolicked and escorted us as the people onboard expressed great delight as the dolphoins put on a real show for us. *** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ***

Wild Dolphin cannot be guaranteed to show up to you but captain is doing best to show you Dolphin. Has Boomnet for swim even operates in winter. Can drink and eat some snacks and ice creams as well.

Boat staff are friendly. But it is hard to find out what all is included in trips. We were not the only people on our tour that thought we were going to be swimming with dolphins. But that is a different tour.

The Dolphin and Whale Watching experience is a delightful, must-do activity for any nature enthusiast. Our tour, brimming with awe-inspiring encounters, was truly a memory for the ages. The highlight was undoubtedly our encounter with a whale and her calf. Witnessing these majestic creatures in their natural habitat was an overwhelmingly beautiful experience. The playful innocence of the calf coupled with the protective demeanor of the mother offered a heartwarming spectacle that was both humbling and inspiring. Adding to this magical experience were the dolphins, gracefully slicing through the sparkling water with an infectious sense of joy and freedom. Their acrobatic feats were a visual treat, while their apparent curiosity about our vessel was incredibly endearing. The seals too made a wonderful appearance, their playful antics and sunbathing routines adding a charming quirkiness to the overall adventure. Their untroubled demeanor reflected the untouched beauty of the environment we found ourselves in. Every moment spent on this Dolphin and Whale Watching tour was steeped in the beauty and tranquility of marine life. It was not just a tour but an immersive lesson in appreciating the often hidden wonders of our planet. With friendly guides and a strong commitment to respecting the wildlife, this is an adventure I highly recommend for those seeking a genuinely unforgettable marine experience.
