Rated 4 out of 5 by More adventurous than expected! We had perfect weather and we found lots of dolphins. The experience was more adventurous than expected because when dolphins were found, we were required to jump off the back of the boat, grab a rope which had bouys fixed at intervals, and hang on while being towed gently along. This took more physical effort than snorkelling around a stationary vessel. One problem was the water was not clear, which meant that even though dolphins were only a couple of metres away I couldn't see them while looking underwater. I had a better view while on the deck. Cruising up and down the coast on a big catamaran was a fun way of spending a morning and it was well worth the trip. 28 December 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dolphins Glenelg Dolphins Were Lovely! We went on our dolphins boat trip recently. The boat trip was lovely in itself. The staff were lovely too. We lowered ourselves in the water, and were greeted by 2 inquisitive dolphins staring at us as much as we were staring at them. We saw 3 groups of dolphins, one with a baby! Overall, I was really impressed with the boat, the people, and especially the dolphins. Thank you! 27 December 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Not on my list of things to do again The water was too rough and even if they had found dolphins we wouldn't have been able to see them as you couldn't see anything underwater. Many of the people on board ended up being very sick 18 December 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Saw lots of dolphins from the boat but swiming with them proved difficult. Sould be renamed 'Wild Dolphin watching with the option of being draged behind a boat in the vicinity of dolphins'. The information about this experience needs to emphasise the physical nature of the activity. ie climbing in and out of the boat very quickly and doing this several times plus ability to hang onto a rope whilst being dragged through the water behind the boat. Also tell people to be wearing their bathers when they get on the boat as changing facilities are very limited. Despite the above we had a fun morning out in the gulf, saw lots of dolpins from the boat, wore a wetsuit for the first (and last) time, had a good giggle and returned to shore absolutely exhausted. 6 December 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Watch don't swim Dolphins were scarce during our morning trip, and getting in and out of the water when it was rough was hard work. Dolphins don't come near you and you hang onto a rope hoping they swim by. However due to sea sickness, staying on top of the boat and was a bonus in the end as we ended up seeing a pod of around 25 dolphins but it was a very long morning going to lots of different locations trying to find them. Had we been trying to swim with them we wouldn't have seen the pod at all. Not sure how elderly people would sit on the boat if they were on a tour to watch as there are only a couple of seats available. 24 November 2012

Rated 3 out of 5 by It was a little disappointing as I didn't see any dolphins while swimming (my hubby saw more form the deck) but the provider was very good. Very friendly, very enthusiastic and very knowledgable. I enjoyed the boat ride even without seeing much. 12 April 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by This experience is fun, but much depends on finding the dolfins, getting them to come near, and the weather. Visibility yesterday was a bit poor, but when a group of dolfins came close enough to be seen under water, it thrilled the whole group! The tour leaders were professional and helpful., and they took great photos. All up, it was a great experience! 28 March 2012

Rated 4 out of 5 by Great concept but the weather wasn't great for us, so visibility was poor - didn't see one dolphin underwater! Saw plenty close up from the boat though, which was pretty cool. I recommend not going out in windy conditions - there were a few seedy, seasick folks on board... 5 March 2012

Rated 5 out of 5 It was a great way to spend a Sunday morning - I thoroughly enjoyed my experience! 20 February 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Swimming with the dolphins was a great experience, it was a glorious day, we had a load of fun, especially trying to get in and out of the wet suits and best of all we saw lots of dolphins, some were less than a metre below me and we could hear them talking to each other too. I would recommend this to anyone, it was amazing. 15 February 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by I believe the crew to be very organised and the day went well. It is hard to see the dolphins when in the water, but when on the boat, we had a magnificent view. My only real criticism of the day was the wet suits. My zipper did not work (was fixed by a crew member) and had many holes in it. The zipper broke when I got up out of the water. Time to invest in some new wet suits perhaps?! 14 February 2012

Rated 5 out of 5 It was an awesome adventure, loved seeing the dolphins in their natural environment. :) 30 January 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 I was excited and nervous all at once. When the call came "swimmers in" we slid into the ocean and I was floating over the top of 6 wild dolphins which were swimming three feet from where I was floating. What an exhilarating experience!! 30 January 2012
