An incredible wildlife sightseeing cruise along the Portsea coastline to Port Phillip Bay entrance!

We will then cruise the calm waters of the Ticonderoga Bay Dolphin Sanctuary before returning to Sorrento Pier. Keep that camera handy for your chance to capture the Dolphins that often jump alongside the boat, the perfect way to top off a great tour!
