Review for: Dolphin Discovery Cruise

In conclusion, I saw a lot of dolphins! I'm not sure if they were all the same dolphins, but I think I saw them more than 20 times. On the day of the tour, the wind was really blowing and it kept raining, so I was worried that the boat wouldn't sail and I wouldn't be able to see the dolphins. But once the boat entered Shoal Bay, the dolphins just kept coming out. I saw a lot of them from afar, and up close about 5 times. It was cold so I couldn't use the net, but it looked fun to see the locals playing :) After seeing all the dolphins, I was able to ride the boat for about 10 to 15 minutes on the way back. I took a lot of videos of the dolphins, but I regret not being able to capture them in photos. We parked at a paid parking lot near the dock, and considering the time to eat, we paid $14 for 3 hours.

Review for: Dolphin Discovery Cruise

I recently had the pleasure of taking this dolphin cruise at Port Stephens, and it was an unforgettable experience! The cruise started right on time, and getting there was a breeze thanks to convenient public transport options. The sunny day was perfectly balanced by a refreshing cold breeze, making the experience even more enjoyable. We were thrilled to spot a few dolphins during the cruise, and the highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the boom net. It was truly awesome! I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a fun and memorable experience. The staff were efficient, and the whole experience was well-organized. Don't miss out on this opportunity to get up close and personal with these incredible creatures!" 5/5 stars.

I was lucky to see dolphins as soon as I went out to sea, and the dolphin family has been playing with the boat.

Great experience and you will definitely spot dolphins. The only luck is whether the dolphin is swimming together with the cruise for best photo spot or far apart.

It was a nice and relaxing cruise. we managed to catch sight of some dolphins. the waters were not fantastically clear but that cannot be help. some dolphins followed the boat along for some distance and it was a cool sight.

around 10m encounter with dolphins! about 5min out and we already got to see a few dolphins swimming by! we could also get into the water using the boom net, unfortunately the water slide wasn’t operating on the day.
