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.

5.00Due to diligent staff, the cruise is very safe. There are many vantage points to view the dolphins both outside and under cover. sightings were not guaranteed, but the crew were experienced in locating the dolphin pods. I took no photos as I was engrossed in the experience!

5.00It was a great cruise. The weather was great and the skipper gave us helpful information about the journey. We couldn't spot any dolphins but I do not blame the cruise for not trying. Great service and I would definitely try them again.
Definitely recommend

5.00We took the sunset tour in hopes of seeing whales, and we are not disappointed. There were plenty of whales breaking the surface, and a couple of breaches seen off in the distance somewhat. There were a couple of good dolphin displays, where they came right up to the boat and surfed the bow waves for a few minutes. The videos came out very well. The captain and guide Emily were very friendly and engaging, which made the tour like it was put on just for us.
