Departing daily from Sorrento, our cruises begin with a light snack. Afterwards, we travel out into the sheltered shallows of Port Phillip Bay to embark on an exciting once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
Arriving at Chinaman's Hat, you can put your newfound snorkelling skills into action. Chinaman's Hat is a local spot where the ever-curious Australian FurSeals are waiting to share their underwater world with you. Offering shallow water snorkelling and beautiful white sand seabed, this area has a maximum depth of 4m.
Once the dolphins are located, we prepare to enter the water. Floating on the water's surface, your guides try to entice the dolphins to spend time with our group. The dolphins swim beneath you and often circle swimmers, looking at you and showing off their extraordinary abilities. Every swim is unique, and our time with the dolphins varies. It must be appreciated that they are entirely wild, and their interactions are on the animals' terms.
Cruises also include a snorkel with the Sea Dragons. These prehistoric-looking sea horses are unique to our area and closely related to the leafy sea dragons - Victoria's Marine emblem.
The whole experience lasts for3 hours.

Very professionally run with a total safe and caring approach to customers and the dolphins. This is going into the must do list. I've told so many people what an amazing experience dolphin watching is. They must think I'm dolphin mad!
B Edwards
Excellent and very professional. Dophins were abundant. They certainly knew where to go and the dolphins weren't afraid. A great dolphin watching experience - highly recommend it.
T Ryan
The experience was fantastic. I can't sing the praises of the operators enough, as they kept us informed at all times as to what was happening and what to expect as the day went on. While the dolphins were not in a very playful mood, the experience is still one I would highly recommend to anyone.
G Goodard
My experience was great, we had a good amount of time in the water with the seals, reef and dolphins. The operators were fantastic. It was one of the best experiences I have had.
J Conroy
I thoroughly enjoyed swimming with the seals and snorkelling at Pope's Eye. It was incredible to see the marine wildlife.
P Didcote
Did not find it good value for money. Majority of time was on boat. Short swim time near seals was the only in water part of trip.Saw some dolphins briefly, but not swimming with them as the experience is named
