Wild Dolphin Swim

1. Opening Hours: Operating during the warmer months of September to April.
2. 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
3. Where do we board: Boarding is in the Marina Pier, Glenelg – at the bottom of the stairs/ramp in front of the Oyster Bar.
4. I’m not a confident swimmer/I’ve never snorkeled before, is the swim suitable: This is very common with a number of our passengers, so over the years we have refined our briefing and techniques to accommodate the most nervous of dolphin swimmers.-Upon boarding Temptation, you will be given a full length 5mm wetsuits, which also act as a full body floatation device
   -You are given a briefing from our crew (about 15 minutes) on what to do and not do when entering and being in the water
   -Colour visual charts are used to help show what to do and not do when entering and being in the water
   -Our fully experienced crew will demonstrate how to use your mask and snorkel and can provide assistance when trying masks on
   -All swimmers must hold onto a floatation line connected to the stern of Temptation
   -If at the end of the briefing and snorkel demonstration you are still not confident in entering the water you can stay on-board and do the dolphin We will then refund the difference between the watch and swim price to you if you booked directly.
5. 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).
6. 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.
7. 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).
8. Will I get sea sick: The cruise is 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. The 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.
9. 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.

**Please note: We operate both swim experiences throughout our Wild Dolphin Cruise and rotate customers between the Front Swim and Back Swim Experiences to evenly spread interaction time with the Dolphins. Children from the age of 9 years old are allowed to swim**
