Enjoy a 60 minute cruise to see wild dolphins and sea lions before concluding on Penguin Island to meet the world's smallest penguins!

Highlights

  • Seeing rare Australian sea lions on the beach at Seal Island
  • Seeing wild dolphins at play (although sightings are regular, they are not guaranteed as our cruise is restricted to inside Shoalwater Bay)
  • Exploring the rugged islands and viewing nesting pelicans, cormorants and spotting other sea birds that live in the park
  • Drifting over seagrass meadows and limestone reefs spotting fish and other marine life through the glass bottom
  • Viewing the fossilised remnants of ancient tuart forests

Experience a 60 minute wildlife cruise through the ruggedly spectacular Shoalwater Islands Marine Park. Wild dolphins are the star attraction. You may see mothers with new born calves, learn how dolphins use stingrays to catch octopus or see them spectacularly leaping from the wake of our boat.

After enjoying some quality dolphin time, we return through the wildlife sanctuary zone to visit the sea lions at Seal Island and make the most of any other wildlife viewing opportunities. Our adventure boat is ideal for getting up close to the islands where we will be spotting pelicans, ospreys, cormorants, terns and more. The cruise concludes on Penguin Island to see the penguin feeding and then enjoy some island time before returning on the ferry at your leisure.

A very worthwhile adventure.

The staff were very friendly, inclusive and incredibly knowledgeable. We didn't see many dolphins and zero penguins but it was still a very worthwhile adventure. I took two of my grandchildren, including my 13 year old grandson who is usually not keen to leave his computer. It was clear he enjoyed the adventure too. Thank you all for a special day.
