What To Expect
Do you love Dolphins? We do too… Luckily Jervis Bay is home to nearly 100 Bottlenose Dolphins. All year round we cruise the waters of Jervis Bay Marine Park spending time with the resident pods as they feed around the various reef systems within the Bay. Jervis Bay has been a Marine Park for 20 years and is now one of the most unique and healthy ecosystems in Australia. That’s why the crystal-clear waters of Jervis Bay are home to the Bottlenose Dolphins who have an abundance of food. Friendly and active, you will fall in love with them the moment you lay eyes on them; with their long snout and distinctive smile Dolphins make everyone feel good. Come visit Jervis Bay and fall in love with the beautiful surroundings and our marine locals.

4.00Jarvis Bay Passage. Well organised, with an excellent and informative crew. The only downside - a lack of dolphins!
Exactly the relaxing trip we wanted, with loads of dolphins and a great crew

5.00An AMAZING morning! We took the 1030 cruise and it was incredible. We saw two pods of dolphins swimming right next to the boat. One of them had at least 17 dolphins in it. The crew was fantastic, punctual with timing, and the beer and crisps hit the spot! Would do it again next time.
Highly recommend doing this wonderful wildlife experience beautiful scenic views of Huskinsson

5.00It was a great experience, the family loved it, we saw 6 Dolphins near the bay area and later the ship cruised further into the sea showing the beauty of the bay. The crew were very friendly and good tour operators.
Poor customer service

2.00We’ve done this dolphin cruise a couple of years ago and liked it, but our latest experience was poor. It was a windy day and a bit choppy, and hard to spot anything. We stopped briefly after the captain said he’d spotted a dolphin but then could not find it anymore. So we went back without spotting any wildlife. Disappointing, but can’t blame the crew for that. We had a similar experience 2 years ago and then received a voucher to board another cruise free of charge. So we walked off the boat and went to the desk to get our vouchers but the staff informed us they do not have this policy anymore. They also said that the captain had reported a sighting so even if the policy was still in place they would not have offered us the vouchers. Even though no one on the boat saw a single animal. All in all we left disappointed, frustrated and unheard by rude and unprofessional staff. I would recommend to steer clear of this company.
Unprofessional

3.00There are other more seemingly professional companies operating from the dock - perhaps choose them instead !
Friendly Happy Dolphins

5.00Last minute idea, booked night before… lovely boat trip with captain giving details of the locations; a fabulous Dolphin sighting, at least a dozen of these beautiful creatures came right up to the boat and played around us. Very exciting!! Lisa
