Mandurah Sundowner Cruise

sunset over mandjar bay

October to April*

Western Australia is famous for its stunning sunsets, and there’s no better way to catch nature’s nightly show than aboard our 1.5-hour Mandurah Sundowner Cruise.. Departing from Mandjar Bay on our twin-level sightseeing cruiser Dancing Dolphin, this scenic sunset cruise takes you through Mandurah’s picturesque inland waterways as live local musicians set the mood on deck with acoustic sets.

On summer evenings between October and April, watch the sky turn gold as you sip a drink from our fully licensed bar and keep an eye out for wild dolphins along the way. Add a shared cheeseboard or fish & chips from Cicerello’s, and settle in for one of Mandurah’s most relaxed sunset experiences on the water.

Excludes the Christmas Lights Cruise season in December and early January.

Went on an evening cruise around Mandurah to have a look at the sites. Loved all of it. We were lucky enough to see the dolphins too. Lovely sunset and great staff and service. The young singer was wonderful. Very enjoyable to listen to. Full bar service if you fancy a beer or wine.

What a lovely relaxing cruise. Staff were great too. I really enjoyed the ‘live singer’ on board. I pre-booked the additional food – grilled fish and salad – and it was one of the best pieces of fish I’ve ever had. I’m so glad I did this. Highly recommend.

Visitor but I grew up years in Perth. Mandurah is still a great place and highly recommend people taking this cruise to enjoy the environment

We had lovely weather early September 2026

Great time was had by all. The squeals from the little kids each time a dolphin surfaced put a smile on even the hardest old grumpies face
