Had such a great day with you. Loved your passion and the responsibility with which you interact with the dolphins. No "hunting" or "chasing" them. Seems they just enjoy joining and playing with us. Best tour ever👍👌

Very professional staff that are extremely accommodating. We got our booking mixed up but they still helped us out. An amazing experience highly recommend. Will do it again.

Watching dolphins swim in the bow wave of a boat in itself is a great experience however to be in the water amongst those swimming wild dolphins is an experience of lifetime. I had that experience recently with Dolphin Swim Australia, a world class outfit who have combined wild dolphin research with the ability to be able to swim and observe dolphin behaviour from below the water line in a safe controlled environment. This is the worlds only total wild dolphin experience, don't miss it.
