Highlights
  • Rockingham Beach - Your day begins with a coach transfer from Perth or meet the boat at Val st Jetty, Rockingham (located in front of the Rockingham Cruising Yacht Club). On arrival you’ll board the Perth Wildlife Encounters custom-made dolphin swim vessel complete with a large rear platform, making access to the water very easy.

After your crew has located a pod, you’ll gear up with wetsuits, masks and snorkels (all equipment is included) and then dive into the fun, as you are quickly surrounded by excited whistles and splashes as the dolphins arrive to play. While many resorts provide opportunities to swim with dolphins, the crew’s rapport with these precocious marine mammals has created one of the best swim-with-dolphins excursions in Australia. Better still, Rockingham is a brief, 40-minute drive from Perth, making it an easy day trip.

Following your swim, you’ll be treated to lunch with gourmet Seafood platters.

Mind Blowing - This was my second time on the boat. I've sent three gift vouchers to friends in the past to do this tour. My girlfriend and I were absolutely enthralled. The Crew are so friendly and went out of their way to ensure we had a fully involved day. The running of the days activities were extremely well planned and carried out like clockwork, including snacks and lunch. To hear the dolphins chatting away in their whistles and clicks was truly a mind blowing experience. And seeing them underwater and close up.... wow....!!! I mean... wow...!!! no photo anywhere can do the sight justice! This is a must do event for any nature loving person.... and everyone else too!! We are definitely going again next March! Thank you "Perth Wildlife Encounters" for the event Thank you Crew of the 23 March 2024 WOW!!

Unforgettable and safe dolphin encounter in the wild - The tour is extremely well organized and safe. The guides are experienced and have good control of a large international group of tourist. At all moments the event was safe and I felt that the tour has been mastered as to find wild dolphins and create a controlled encounter. The guides are well trained naturalist with high respect for the environment, the animals and the overall tour. I am an experienced diver and marine biologist and had never seen anything like this tour. I highly recommend to tourist of all levels of experience snorkeling.

Just do it! - One of the best adventure experiences of our 70 years. The knowledge of the crew was exceptional. There friendliness was so appreciated by all on this tour. Because I can't remember all the names I just want to say all the crew were amazing. We did have the unforgettable experience of swimming with dolphins and seeing days old calves. After our dolphin experience we were treated to the most amazing lunch which topped off one of the best experiences ever. Please do it

A terrific experience - We saw so many dolphins, and it was magical getting in the water with them! The guides were very knowledgable and enthusiastic, and they respected the dolphins and didn't push if they didn't seem in the mood to have people in the water with them. However when we did come across dolphins that were comfortable with us the guides were very conscientious to make sure everyone had the chance to get a good look. The food was excellent too!

Great experience - Our friend booked this trip for us and it was a great experience. We managed to see dolphins several times, the instructors made sure everyone seen one if not we would return to water again. I personally enjoyed the educational part where they were explaining how did they build relationship with dolphins and some interesting facts about the particular ones we’ve seen. Also the lunch was great, enough fresh food for everyone I have a dietary requirements and they were all accommodated. 10 stars 🌟
