We had such an awesome dolphin cruise today around the canals. Saw plenty of dolphins, had fish and chips for lunch – so delicious. The crew were very professional and friendly. I came with my daughter and granddaughters and we all totally loved it! Thank you!

further details

¹ Mandurah’s dolphins are wild creatures viewed in their natural environment. We know a lot about them, thanks to our dolphin project with Murdoch University. So while sighting them is likely, it may not occur on every cruise. Our Dolphin Guarantee ~ included in every Dolphin Cruise & Views tour and Giant & Dolphin Sightseeing Cruise ~ guarantees the tour’s dolphin sighting. It’s very simple – if the cruise you travel on does not see dolphins, you can travel again for free until you do! If you live overseas, we can allow the return within the next three years,

See below for Terms & Conditions.

¹ OUR DOLPHIN GUARANTEE T&CS

Our crew will determine whether there was adequate dolphin sighting during your cruise. This will be confirmed to all guests at the end of the tour and noted in our records. It can also be checked retrospectively with our Booking Office. 

Should there be dolphin sighting during your cruise, the Dolphin Guarantee is not valid for return trips. 

Should a dolphin sighting not occur and you wish to use your Dolphin Guarantee to return, you are free to make another booking within 12 months of your original tour date, subject to availability, however if you are from overseas we will extend the booking period to three years.

You may return as many times as you wish until you are on a tour where there is a dolphin sighting. 

Return bookings must be made by phone – by calling our Booking office on 08 9581 1242. Dolphin Guarantee bookings are non-transferable and can only be made for passengers who made the original tour booking. 

Once you are on a tour with adequate dolphin sighting, the Dolphin Guarantee is no longer valid. Should you wish to travel on our Dolphin Cruise & Views again, a new ticket must be purchased.
