To swim with dolphins and seals at Sorrento on the Mornington Peninsula is to feel earth's greatest moments. In their natural habitat, south of Melbourne, you can watch these creatures, hear them, and delight in them. The resident dolphins and seals of Port Phillip Bay can't wait to meet you!
Experience a 1/2 day activity swimming with wild seals and dolphins only 90 minutes south of Melbourne. You will experience snorkelling alongside friendly fur seals and watch wild dolphins swim freely all around you. Your adventure begins at Sorrento Pier where you collect all your snorkelling equipment and step aboard your luxury tour boat to experience a magical three hour adventure.
Your cruise commences with an introductory on-board snorkel demonstration, after which we travel out into the sheltered shallows of Port Phillip Bay viewing the pristine coastline and cliff top mansions.
Arriving at Chinaman's Hat where you can put your newfound skills into action, this is a local spot where the ever curious Australian Fur Seals are waiting to share their underwater world with you.
From Chinaman's Hat, we cruise over to Popes Eye, (Marine National Park) for a look at the Australasian Gannets and a snorkel with the vast array of colourful fish inhabiting the marine park. From here on, we cruise magnificent Port Phillip Bay in search of the inspiring Bottle Nose Dolphins. When the dolphins are located, it's on with your mask and snorkel and you enter the water, swimming into their domain. This is truly an awesome experience and one you will never forget.

Had a great day, Staff were very friendly towards myself and my family that came to watch me on the day. Highly recommend
-
It was an AMAZING experience swimming with the Seals. Unfortunately on our day the Dolphins were in hiding but still worth every cent. We had a fantastic time and will be doing it again next summer!
-
Really fantastic company :D Very well run tour, great staff, really great activity. We saw tons of seals, a huge pod of dolphins and a heap of marine life :) Also, it was a pleasure having the company contact me so timely and efficiently with my booking date after I submitted several that dates that were best for us. I organised this for my best friend's 21st and I certainly didn't put a foot wrong :) Magical!!!

Definitely a top ten experience! Fantastic fun - I want to do it again as soon as possible!

Enjoyed it very much. A fun experience. Staff were very good, friendly and helpful. No complaints.
-
This was a super amazing experience, the crew were absolutely fantastic, and made our experience fun, and safe. My only recommendation would be that if you go, go in the warmer months, the cold was definitely the only downside. wonderful otherwise thank you :-)
-
Nice staff on board, amazing experience!
-
Absolutely amazing experience....everyone should do it...the staff are fantastic and very well informed..they obviously love their job and want to pass on their knowledge and enthusiasm to their guests and they do so beautifully. Yes it is cold in the water however you forget about the cold as soon as you see the dolphins and how awesome are the seals...Yes we will be recommending this experience far and wide...spruking it to the mountain tops...Well done!!!!

RedBalloon has become my first and favorite place for birthdays and Christmas presents. It definitely has something for everyone.
-
Great crew and everybody knew exactly how to look after all on board. I had a ball.
-
This trip was fantastic. Even though we didn't get to swim with the dolphins (they were busy feeding down deep) we still had a great time. The seals were so energetic and playful, it was a wonderful experience to swim with them.
-
it was a fantastic experience seeing the dolphins and swimming with the seals
-
I did enjoy the day, but I did find it very quick when I was in the water. It felt like I didn't have enough time to be able to see the dolphins when I was in the water.
-
The seals were amazing to swim with. It would have been good to have had a little more freedom to swim with the dolphins.
-
Great day, perfect weather, amazing experience. Best way to surprise a loved one. Experiences are what life is all about!
-
Very enjoyable
-
It was amazing. Thought I would have like if there was smaller groups so we could spend more time wit the dolphins in the water
-
Everything ran smoothly and the operators were very professional. We were told that not everyone gets to swim with the dolphins, so our expectations were managed. Luckily, we got two sessions with some very playful, frisky creatures. Swimming with the seals was just an added bonus.
-
I would do this again, only I'd pick warmer weather. Days of rain prior to our cruise made it harder to see the dolphins in the water. Loved and would do it again in a heartbeat!!
