What To Expect
The Dolphin Eco-Cruise takes you for 60-90 minutes into Koombana Bay and the local waterways. We guarantee you to see dolphins *or you go again for free (subject to availability). Our vessel provides a 300 degree viewing platform designed to get you as close as possible to the dolphins without getting your feet wet. The protected bay offers the perfect opportunity to observe dolphins and wildlife. The team will introduce you to our local Bottlenose Dolphins as they interact in their natural environment. Many of the Dolphins seen on the cruise call Koombana Bay their home. They can be seen frolicking, playing, sleeping and feeding during the cruise. The informative commentary from the skipper of the boat will also keep you updated throughout the cruise. Toilet facility on board.

5.00We would have liked to swim with dolphins but to arrange this the information was too vague and unfortunately could not take place. This is the only minus here. We ended up taking part in a great dolphin tour in the bay and saw a lot of dolphins up close, this tour is definitely recommended. Visiting the aquariums of turtles and octopuses is also great where a lot of information is told in a super fun way during feeding by the volunteers where children are also involved.
Loads of excitement and fun seeing the dolphins in their wild habitat.

5.00The dolphin cruise was an amazing experience. We saw a pair of dolphins jump out of the water and a pod of four frolicking. However, this happened only after we visited four different locations. Initially, we were afraid that it might be a no show but our patience paid off when they finally showed up.
