Great family visit - We did the tour in the school holidays. Dolphins were brilliant and the young girl’s commentary was great. Very knowledgeable and a lot better than I expected. Nice clean boat and good fish and chips.

The Best Hour You'll Spend on the Water - Really interesting and energetic commentary by the tour guide. You could see how much staff loves animals and conservation! And, we did see 5 dolphins with 2 babies, as well as many birds, including a swan family with a fluffy baby.

Good way to see some dolphins and the canals of Mandurah - Good trip out on the canals. Initially the boat sails to find the dolphins from the departure point with good commentary and informative information provided. A good array of dolphins spotted on our trip. The trip them joins the canals and passes the houses along the banks while heading to the wetlands before returning to the dock. It's a good one hour ten minutes or so trip.

Dolphins are lazy when I go to see them - The guide is informative..never see alot of dolphin and they are quite a distance away from the boat. The ride is smooth and the weather is good..due to the small number of dolphin we see...I find the $ never well spent..haha
