You have to do this trip - If you come to port Stephens you need to do this trip. We saw pods of dolphins - probably 20 in total including babies and had the opportunity for plenty of photos. Going down the slide and having a swim as well as hopping into the boom net (not for long as it was a bit chilly) were all great fun. This is such good value for money. Everything is clean, staff are friendly. No regrets.

A 'must do' activity - Great day out and we saw lots of dolphins. The team were excellent, the boat was perfect and overall I would highly recommend. The kids (6 years old) loved it too.
