Rockingham Swim with Wild Dolphins

Rockingham Swim with Wild Dolphins takes you on a guided cruise through the sheltered bays and islands of Shoalwater Islands Marine Park at Rockingham, south of Perth, in search of more than 200 local wild dolphins that the crew know well. Once the boat is in position, you slip into your wetsuit, mask and snorkel, take your seat on the swim deck and enter the water with your guide, who leads you by aqua scooter for an encounter with these playful animals in their natural environment. The dolphins are wild: they are not trained to perform tricks and are not fed, and a strict no-touch policy protects them, so every encounter is different and closeness cannot be guaranteed. You may see natural behaviours such as hunting, mating and sleeping. The cruise departs from Rockingham Jetty in the morning and lasts about three to six hours, depending on dolphin sightings. A light gourmet lunch of meats, cheeses, fruit and sandwiches is served on board with coffee and tea, and digital photos of your swim are included. No snorkelling experience is needed, but you should be able to swim. If you do not get to swim with the dolphins, the Wild Dolphin Guarantee lets you rebook free of charge within the current season.
