Swim with Wild Dolphins (meet the boat in Rockingham)

Highlights
Your adventure begins with cruising Rockingham’s sheltered bays and islands in
search of any of over 200 local dolphins that your crew have come to know as
friends. Before long, sleek, silvery grey dorsal fins start breaking the
surface of the water within meters of the back of the boat and it's time to
zip your wetsuit up, put your mask and snorkel on and get ready to take the
plunge! Our friendly guides will get you seated comfortably, ready to go, on
the swim deck. They'll be joining you in the water to ensure you make the most
of your wild dolphin encounter. Once the boat is in the right position, the
skipper gives the command that everyone's been waiting for- Go!
Suddenly, you are surrounded by flashing grey torpedoes and the water is
filled with whistles, splashes and laughter — both human and dolphin. They
don’t do tricks and we don’t feed them, we simply spend some time enjoying
each other’s company … it’s a wild encounter!
We are dedicated to ensuring the best experience for both visitors and
dolphins. We ask you to remember that we are working with wild animals. Please
approach each encounter with caution and respect and never assume that we have
control over the dolphins’ appearance or behaviors. The dolphins’ approval of
our friendship is reflected in our better than 99% success rate.
You don’t have to be an expert swimmer to join in and no previous snorkeling
experience is necessary. Our professional and friendly crew conducts
introductory snorkeling lessons and have an excellent track record of helping
nervous or less experienced swimmers through the experience. Just bring a
sense of adventure and be ready for an unforgettable, exhilarating encounter!
