Highlights
-
Portside Cafe - 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.

Dolphins galore! - Excellent! The crew were friendly and knowledgeable. The captain knew where to look for the dolphins and we found them in large numbers. I've done three dolphin cruises in various places in Australia and this is by far the best.

A must when visiting Huskisson - The dolphin cruise was great value for money. Well organised, efficient and the crew were all very friendly. Jervis Bay is beautiful and we had fantastic weather so we really enjoyed our cruise. Luckily we did manage to see a dolphin.

Brilliant day out on Jarvis Bay. - We were lucky enough to see multiple pods of Dolphins on the day. The commentary was also quite entertaining too.

Family scenic cruise - Very nice conditions in the bay meant it was calm and not windy. Unfortunately the dolphins where probably outside they bay as we didn’t see any this time. There is a bar onboard too and you can swim off the back on a net. Hope to see dolphins next time. Kids loved the experience of being on their first cruise.

Wonderful opportunity, would do it again! - Amazing experience seeing the bottle nose dolphins swim up nice and close to the boat. Friendly staff, not too crowded and a wonderful opportunity to see these marine animals out in the wild. 1.5 hours was long enough, especially with kids (ages 11 & 9). Would highly recommend. Good price too.

Ok. But not as good as it used to be in the past. - We had been to the dolphin watching cruise twice before this. But those experiences were far more better than this one.
Though we saw a couple of dolphins, this time, the overall experience was disappointing.
In the past, when the dolphin activity was low, the crew decided to show us the other historic spots and beaches in the bay.
But this time they just kept circling in the waters to spent the 1.5 hour time.

Nice boat ride but no dolphins sighted. - The boat ride was enjoyable, but regrettably, we didn't catch sight of any dolphins, which was quite disappointing. The crew had mentioned beforehand the dolphins sightings weren't guaranteed, but I wouldn't have booked the cruise if it relied solely on luck to spot them.

Waste of money - No dolphins at all. Spent 90 mins after paying the money to see dolphins didn’t see any at all. Very disappointing. Should be more clear upon booking that they don’t see them all the time. Won’t be back & do not recommend.
