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.

High chance you won’t see dolphins if the navy are completing exercises. The cruise’s should not run when this occurs as it clearly impacts the chance a a dolphin sighting, plus a helicopter and coast guard vessel were active as well, disappointing overall. 😞😢
Fantastic, a lovely day...

I have done either a whale or dolphin cruise with this company every time I’ve been in the area (approx every couple of years). They are awesome! The staff are friendly and super professional. The boats are often full but never crowded. The information is great and, if weather delays a booked trip, you are told exactly what’s happening. Our cruise yesterday was the best yet… so many dolphins having so much fun. That’s partly luck, I know, but a lot is down to the attitude and knowledge of the great crew.
Beautiful experience as fun family day activity

I got sea sick and my child got bored as the ride was too long and we saw no dolphins. Not much snack variety or food and drinks.
Lovely tour of the bay

Great tour of the bay. No dolphins for us today but lovely to see around the bay. We couldn’t hear the commentary from where we were - might be handy to have some extra speakers
Great cruise with Dolphin watching

A very well organised and enjoyable cruise. We got to see dolphins. All the staff I interacted with were very great. Samantha was very helpful when I made my booking and on the cruise Kristy and Zaf made our experience on the cruise a great one!
