Highlights
-
Portside Cafe - Do you love Dolphins? We do too… Luckily Jervis Bay is home to nearly 100 Bottlenose Dolphins.
All year round we cruise the waters of Jervis Bay Marine Park spending time with the resident pods as they feed around the various reef systems within the Bay.
Jervis Bay has been a Marine Park for 20 years and is now one of the most unique and healthy ecosystems in Australia. That’s why the crystal-clear waters of Jervis Bay are home to the Bottlenose Dolphins who have an abundance of food.
Friendly and active, you will fall in love with them the moment you lay eyes on them; with their long snout and distinctive smile Dolphins make everyone feel good.
Come visit Jervis Bay and fall in love with the beautiful surroundings and our marine locals.

Lovely views and friendly crew, unfortunately no dolphins - Lovely views and friendly crew, unfortunately no dolphins but they’re wild so that’s the risk you take.

No dolphin for you! - Our family adventure to see the Jervis Bay dolphins was a 90-minute cold and windy maritime endurance test.
Sadly we didn't see dolphins this time. obviously nothing the pleasant crew could do about this.
There are no consolation prizes here; it's just a pat on the back and a “better luck next time” kind of vibe.

Bad experience not worth of money. - Only 45 minutes but advertised as 1 hour 30 min. This is very bad experience as we expected to take full advantage of 1 hour and 30 min and no one will give any reason why it was shorter.

Bad experience - Absoloutely awful. The trip was only supposed to go for an hour but we ended out at sea for about 3 hours. Very poor conditions to be looking at dolphins. Didn't end up seeing any dolphins either which is very dissapointed. Lots of people got sick and was overall not worth my money at all.
