What to expect
After boarding at the jetty, you'll settle into your seat whilst crew members explain the safety procedures with playful pirate flair. Once underway, the boat winds through Mandurah's narrow waterways and wider canals at a leisurely pace. Crew offer bite-sized commentary about landmarks and local wildlife as you pass. The experience is fairly relaxed—you can actively participate by taking the helm or ringing the bell, or simply sit back and watch for dolphins and birdlife. The full loop takes 45 minutes, giving plenty of time to soak in the waterside scenery.
