You may see mothers looking after new born calves, learn how they use stingrays to catch their dinner or see them spectacularly jumping out of the wake of our boat!

Hi we had a great day out. The Dolphins and Sea Lions were fantastic. Crew were very friendly and helpful. Shoalwater bay and surrounds were calm as far as the sea goes - so recommended for all.

The Penguin Island and Dolphin Watch Adventure Cruise was an excellent experience. Every staff member - at the office, on the vessel and at Penguin Island - was very proffessional, considerate and courteous. I look forward to the next time, and hope to bring other family members along. My thanks are extended to all involved and I wish the companies involved great success and a very rewarding future.
