About this tour
Spend six hours swimming alongside wild dolphins in the protected waters near Rockingham, just 40 minutes southwest of Perth. The boat crew has built relationships with over 200 resident dolphins across three decades, giving you genuine chances to encounter these intelligent animals on their terms. You'll move between sheltered bays and islands, snorkel the surrounding reefs, and share a gourmet spread onboard. Photography is included, with images uploaded for you to download and keep.

- Gourmet platters and hot beverages included

What to expect
You'll board early morning and head out to the bays where dolphins congregate. The crew reads their behaviour and positions the boat to allow natural interaction—sometimes they approach, sometimes they don't, and that's part of the genuine experience. Between dolphin encounters, you'll slip into calm water to snorkel, exploring rocky reefs and seagrass beds. Lunch is a proper spread eaten on deck. The boat moves at a relaxed pace, so expect a full day of waiting, watching, and gentle activity rather than constant action. Conditions vary by season; bring layers.
