Snorkelling Equipment and full length wetsuit
Meet us at Sorrento Pier, collect your equipment and board the luxury ‘Moonraker.’ Once onboard we cruise into the bay your snorkel guides walk you through the activities and familiarising you with the boat. We firstly visit the shallow waters filled with seals of all ages and sizes, you will come face to face with these inquisitive animals and this experience is something that you will remember for life. Once back onboard we serve lunch, ensuring you’re energised and ready for our next snorkel. Once the dolphins are located we observe their behaviour and location before we approach the pod. In small groups of 10, we slide into the water, floating on the surface. We wait, for the dolphin's squeaks and whistles to get louder, a sign that they will join us and swim. Each encounter is totally unique, sometimes they will swim around us for endlessly other times they will glide past for a look and continue swimming, We spend as much time as possible swimming and sightseeing but need to ensure we are not changing their behaviour or lifestyle. The dolphins are resident to Port Phillip Bay, should you not see the dolphins you are welcome to come back for free anytime within 30 days.

The staff were so amazing and friendly! Best part was swimming with the seals! Visibility and process of swimming with the dolphins was not the best but you get to see the dolphins better when they’re swimming with the boat. Would definitely recommend! :)

The day didn’t start too positively because Viator told us to be there at 7:40am for an 8am start. Sadly, we were supposed to be there at 9:30am. We finally got onto the boat at 9:55am so we were pretty over it by then. The actual Moonraker tour was good fun and their staff ran a professional operation. I would recommend this tour but not Viator. I recommend going to the moonraker website for your booking and keep your eye on the weather.
