There was nothing going on here in town, so watch dolphins;) ABSOLUTELY competent and safe this sailing tour with swimming and beach. Small snacks and fruit and drinks on sufficient quantity and totally friendly people on board. Thx Peter

Great 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.

Pete 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.

We had an amazing time on the boat watching dolphins. And the swim on the Pelican Bank was unique. We highly recommend the tour.

Loved 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.

We love sailing with Blue Dolphin when we come to Hervey Bay. They are such a wonderful team and make every experience an absolute pleasure. Safety is a priority and the catamaran is a lovely boat to sail on. A smaller group than other tours in Hervey Bay which makes it a more personal experience. They have a keen eye to spot dolphins and wildlife. A must do when you’re in Hervey Bay.
