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.

5.00Did the two-and half-hour Jervis Bay Passage Cruise on a gorgeous day this week. Definitely recommend doing this cruise!! Captain Henry and Paula were great and gave both light hearted and informative commentary. Fabulous way to get some great video of the gorgeous beaches of Jervis Bay from a different perspective. They took us up close to the spectacular cliffs of Bowen island and Point Perpendicular so we could get amazing video of the ocean pounding the cliffs!! Even if you have been to the beaches of Jervis many times, it is well worth taking this cruise.
Fun day

5.00Magical experience - sunny & calm ride, spotted lots of dolphins that put on a show under and around the boat. Friendly & funny crew. Thank you.
Not great if you get stuck with a tour group.

4.00The staff and boat are great and can’t fault them. We were onboard with a large tour group who unfortunately made the experience not great. Rude and pushing my kids out of the way to the point where we had to yell at them (even though they couldn’t speak English so couldn’t understand what we were trying to tell them). They were also trying to take photos of the kids and didn’t understand when I told them that wasn’t ok. The female staff member on the cruise that went in the boom net with another family and yelled constantly at the tour group no photos of the children deserves a raise!
Fabulous

5.00Was a good trip across the bay, crew was entertaining and easy to ask questions if you need. You aren’t guaranteed to see dolphins as they are wild but the crew will try the best to find them, saw a big pod of dolphins going after fish in a bait ball Well worth it
A great way to see dolphins!
