An experience you will never forget! - It was truly an experience I will never forget!! The team went above and beyond in everything - they were soo friendly too. Learnt so much and I can’t believe I swam with dolphins so close to me. Worth every penny and I will be back - safe to say my 3yr old dolphin/mermaid obsessed self is feeling all the feels right now! Thank you all at Perth Wildlife Encounters for such a magical day!

Solo Traveller? Have No Fear! Best Day Out in the Ocean with Wild Dolphins EVER - Oh my goodness. Such a special treat to snorkel and watch the indo-bottlenosed resident dolphins off Colburn Sound play in gorgeous weather! Our guides were very attentive and careful, and made sure that both dolphins and humans needs’ were taken cared of. Afterwards we had a scrumptious buffet lunch and some time to swim and snorkel to ourselves well within protected boundaries made by the Perth Wildlife Adventures team to ward off sharks. It was precious! Must do this again and never regret that I made this decision to enjoy one last final day in Perth by myself! Although I came solo, the team and fellow adventurers made me feel welcome and part of the family. Thank you so much!

Highlight of our WA trip! - The tour was definitely the highlight of our WA road trip! We were lucky to spot a pod of dolphins very early on. I wasn't able to see them in the water but then we went on to find an even larger group of dolphins with young calves as well! The dolphins were so playful and super active.
Staff were really friendly and knowledgeable. They really respect the wildlife and were very familiar with the dolphins around the area that they even named a few of them. I like that they divided us into groups and let us take turns to get into the water. They really made sure that all of us had a chance to see the dolphins in the water.
Lunch was delicious too. Coffee/ tea and water, biscuits were all available. Overall an amazing experience and I would recommend anyone who're visiting the area to join!

A few minutes of your life you will never forget. - Who would have thought a few hours racing around the sea followed by a few minutes with the dolphins could be so memorable.
Those precious few minutes in the water alongside the dolphins are etched in my memory forever. The markings on their backs, the speed through the water, it was thrilling. And it wasn't just me; as we returned to the boat even those who were quiet for most of the trip were buzzing - people I hardly knew were united in those brief few minutes of joy.

Great dolphin experience, bad snorkling, and rude management - We recently returned from doing 2 tours with this company: the 3 islands snorkeling tour and the swim with the dolphins tour. Our experience was very mixed.
During the snorkeling tour, we got lucky to see many dolphins which was very exciting. This made up for the disappointing snorkeling experience, there were hardly any fishes to see, no penguins or sea lions. The water was very murky. We had our 6-year olds with us and the water condition was definitely more suited for someone who is an advanced swimmer. The staff was very nice, and showed my son some pictures eventhough he was too scared to go into the water.
The week after, we went on the dolphin swim. This were very chaotic, and there were lots of miscommunication between the staff. No one paid attention to our 6 year-old son. During the one time the dolphins showed up, all the adults rushed to the water and my son was trampled and hurt his ankle and toes. No staff came to check on him. My husband was able to see 1 dolphin and spent about 3 mins in the water. I was able to swim with 3 dolphins and spent 5 mins in the water out of the entire 6 hours of the tour. We were the last group to go in, and the others were able to spend more time in the water so we wish they managed the time of each group in the water beter. Perhaps the staff thought there will be other opportunities, but we didn't find any more dolphins after this one encounter.
What was disappointing was that during our snorkeling tour, we were told that the Skipper was going to discuss with us the best way for our son to enjoy the dolphin tour. But that didn't happen. He didn't speak to us at all. When my son couldn't get in because he hurt his ankle and was too scared with all the adults rushing in, we were told he would get a free swim at the end. But this also didn't happen. All empty promises.
Afterwards, I emailed the tour to ask if we can change my son ticket to a spectator ticket and get a small refund, since we invested so much money with both tours. We received rude responses. They made up stories about warning me that the dolphin swim was not suitable for my son (which never happened) and that the skipper tried to accomodate (which again never happened). He only spoke to us during wet suit fitting and then nothing. They didn't even know that my son hurt himself even when he was crying out. Tracy said "if a parent is with a child. if they are at all upset, it's not our place to intervene'. REALLY? how about asking us nicely if the child is ok? Show some emphaty?
So sad that this has ruined our memories of the tour. For a tour this expensive, we definitely thought we would be getting better treatment.
A shoutout to Grace during the snorkling tour, she was very nice but it appears management does not value customer service much.
