A playful encounter with wild dolphins
Gather your family and friends for an unforgettable outdoor adventure on the Wild Dolphin Watch – a perfect opportunity to embrace curiosity and witness the playful intelligence of some of nature’s most beautiful creatures.
Relax aboard Temptation and enjoy the stunning views from its 360-degree deck as dolphins swim just a few feet away from you and your camera, offering a truly up-close experience. You’ll be amazed as you watch these graceful animals playing and interacting right before your eyes.
With the guidance of knowledgeable marine biologists, you’ll learn fascinating facts about the Indo-Pacific bottlenose and short-beaked common dolphins that call these waters home. The Gulf boasts over 1,300 resident dolphins and migratory groups of up to 2,000, so there’s always something new to discover.
If you’re looking for a day of wonder, exploration, and appreciation for the incredible wildlife of the ocean, the Dolphin Watch Tour is an ideal way to connect with nature and create lasting memories with your loved ones.

FAQs
- Opening Hours: Operating during the warmer months of September to April.
- Car Parking: There is secured underground parking in the Marina Pier, or alternatively there are time limited car parks nearby. Please view our parking map here
- Where do we board: Boarding is in the Marina Pier, Glenelg – at the bottom of the stairs/ramp in front of the Oyster Bar.
- What happens if we don’t see dolphins: We have an extremely high success rate and it is very rare that we do not get all customers to see a dolphin whilst on board (we have never had a day where we haven’t seen dolphins from above the water!) In the case that we do not see any dolphins from above water during the cruise, passengers are welcome to come back out on board free of charge within one year from the date of the tour. This cannot be passed on to friends or family. If you are travelling from interstate or overseas and cannot make it back out on board within the year, we will provide a 50% refund (FOR DIRECT BOOKINGS ONLY).
- Can I bring my own food and drinks: We recommend bringing your own snacks on board and bottled water or juice for the kids. Unfortunately our licensed bar will be closed, therefore no alcohol will be available for purchase either and no BYO allowed.
- If I book the watch, but decide on the day I’d like to do the swim, is this an option: This depends on the availability. If at full capacity of 24 swimmers, unfortunately you won’t be able to swim. If you are unsure whether you want to do the swim and think you might change your mind on the day (fomo is a real thing!), we recommend you book the swim so you’re guaranteed that swim spot. You can always change your mind after booking in, or even on the day and we will refund the difference of the swim to watch price (direct bookings only).
- Will I get sea sick: All of our cruises are in open water – therefore we suggest you consider seasickness tablets to minimize the risk of sea sickness affecting your trip. Please note we will not issue any rebookings or refunds for being seasick on board.Our catamaran is twice as wide as most vessels its size, this means greater stability and is designed to cut through water, rather than bouncing over them, all this adds up to a smoother cruise.
- What should I wear: Dress appropriately for the weather – bring a warm jacket or jumper for the wind chill on the water. Please remember to be sun safe as our cruise is outside with little shade/indoor options available.
