5.00Tracy and I enjoyed a most relaxing, educational and enjoyable experience with Peter and Cassie. Although weather was at times a little windy , the sailing was smooth and relaxing and the small numbers onboard allowed for many conversations and happy moments. Morning teas were nicely presented and enjoyed. Overall a fantastic day out. Looking forward to returning for whale season David & Tracy

5.00Great boat, wonderful crew. Just the six of us on board for the half day cruise 21/2/26. Wonderful from start to finish, with three different pods of dolphins sighted, a swim in Crystal clear waters onto Pelican Island, and snacks and drinks (and sightings!) provided by Cassie. Big thanks to Pete for a great trip. Couldn't recommend Blue Dolphin any more highly.
Great catamaran experience

5.00Pete the Blue Dolphin skipper and key we're amazing, nothing was left out even though they had 6 people for the experience which included myself and partner. The team had exceptional knowledge and happily shared with their total enthusiasm, which came across throughout the 4 hour trip. Their hospitality and attention to detail is top notch....please, please, please book with Peten and his team! Happy visitors from the UK - Thursday 05.02.26.

5.00Loved the tour: Peter and Cathy were excellent hosts and made the trip unforgettable. They both have a lot of knowledge about the marine life and the area. We saw a lot of dolphins, rays and were able to swim at the sandy island and hang out in the net on the way back. Highly recommend.
