What To Expect
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.

1.00I got sea sick and my child got bored as the ride was too long and we saw no dolphins. Not much snack variety or food and drinks.
Lovely tour of the bay

4.00Great tour of the bay. No dolphins for us today but lovely to see around the bay. We couldn’t hear the commentary from where we were - might be handy to have some extra speakers

5.00Great experience! Friendly crew and very informative. Even though it was overcast and a bit windy, we saw lots of dolphins. This is our third time cruising with Jervis Bay Wild and definitely won’t be our last.

5.00We had a fantastic time on the Jervis Bay dolphin cruise. It was such a great experience, the kids had so much fun, and the trip was absolutely worth it. We were lucky to see lots of dolphins swimming right near the boat, which made the whole experience even more special. Definitely a memorable and worthwhile activity for families.
Great Family Activity on the south coast

4.00We booked the dolphin cruise during our recent trip to Jervis Bay and it was a great experience. We were looked after well during the tour and the staff was courteous and energetic. It took a while to spot the dolphin pods but it was worth the wait. the kids absolutely loved it. We spent over 2 hours on the boat which we were informed earlier. There were drinks and chips available to buy and coffee was free for all.
