What to expect
You'll board a custom-designed boat and motor to prime snorkelling zones in Port Phillip Bay. Once in the water, naturalists lead you through kelp beds where sea dragons drift camouflaged amongst seaweed. Dolphin encounters happen in the shallows—they're wild animals on their own schedule, so patience and respect matter. The 90% success rate is strong, but sightings aren't certain each day. Between water time, warm up with hot showers onboard. Lunch and hot drinks sustain you throughout.
Good to know
Basic swimming ability is essential; children under five cannot enter the water. Infants and toddlers travel in prams. Tours run weather-dependent; wild animal behaviour cannot be guaranteed. If dolphins don't appear, return free within three months—no cash refunds offered.
