Missed dolphins but great service and definitely recommended - It was a great cruise. The weather was great and the skipper gave us helpful information about the journey. We couldn't spot any dolphins but I do not blame the cruise for not trying. Great service and I would definitely try them again.

Sunset tour recommended in whale season - We took the sunset tour in hopes of seeing whales, and we are not disappointed. There were plenty of whales breaking the surface, and a couple of breaches seen off in the distance somewhat.
There were a couple of good dolphin displays, where they came right up to the boat and surfed the bow waves for a few minutes. The videos came out very well.
The captain and guide Emily were very friendly and engaging, which made the tour like it was put on just for us.

Love it! - We have been on many, many of these cruises and they never disappoint. We have been on dolphin cruises, whale cruises, the boom net (so fun!) and hired kayaks for years and Jervis Bay Wild always makes everything nice and easy. The staff are professional, knowledgeable, friendly, funny, safe and are always up for a chat or a photograph. The vessels are always clean with plenty of great vantage points and I just love how there is a cafe and toilet right on the dock. They accept NSW Companion Cards if you want a free ticket for your loved ones carer or support worker and if you're like me, take a sea sickness tablet before going on the whale cruise. This particular dolphin cruise was the quickest I have seen dolphins arrive to play (within 5 mins) and they were super active and playful. The baby dolphins were hilarious. Seeya next time!

Never again!!! Such a waste of money!!! - It was nice, quiet & peaceful until some morons ruined it! They made so much noise even after the skipper told them to be quiet if they sat in the area where the skipper was. They were about 12 of them. We decided to go to the lower deck since it was too noisy & annoying! However, my daughter & I had seasick in the lower deck! We didn’t enjoy the entire cruise! The worst cruise ever! Thanks to those morons ruining our anniversary trip!

Disappointed. - While it was disappointing that we didn’t see any dolphins, what was more disappointing was that there was no commentary or information provided during the tour. We were given no information on where we were going or why, points of interest around the bay or included in dolphin watching. The captain seemed more interested in eating his chips or being on his phone. It could have been a completely different experience dolphins or no dolphins if the guests were included in the experience instead of left sitting and wondering what was happening
