Your day begins with a coach transfer from Perth or meet the boat at Val st Jetty, Rockingham (located in front of the Rockingham Cruising Yacht Club). On arrival you'll board the Perth Wildlife Encounters custom-made dolphin swim vessel complete with a large rear platform, making access to the water very easy. After your crew has located a pod, you’ll gear up with wetsuits, masks and snorkels (all equipment is included) and then dive into the fun, as you are quickly surrounded by excited whistles and splashes as the dolphins arrive to play. While many resorts provide opportunities to swim with dolphins, the crew’s rapport with these precocious marine mammals has created one of the best swim-with-dolphins excursions in Australia. Better still, Rockingham is a brief, 40-minute drive from Perth, making it an easy day trip. Following your swim, you’ll be treated to lunch with gourmet Seafood platters.

IT was awsome to See dolphins in their natural environment!! I can 100% recommend it!! If you really wanna see dolphins, book this trip instead of going to the zoo or aquarium!! Support this organisation, the team was so kind and they told really interesting knowledge about this special animals!! They also try their best, that you can see the animals in a good way, close and many times!!

Everyone had numerous encounters with multiple dolphins. We were able to see a ~ 3 week old infant with mom and an older calf. There was no feeding of the dolphins, only curiosity on their part! The guides were very friendly and new a lot about individual dolphins and their habitat. Great day on the ocean!

Once in a lifetime experience to spend time with wild dolphins. Suitable for all ages, I went with my husband and teenage boys and we all agreed this was the highlight of our WA trip. The crews passion for dolphins is genuine along with their desire for you to share their joy. Very profesional!!!

Absolutely loved this tour. Have been on dolphin swimming tour before but never got so close to dolphins as on this trip. There were so many of them and we had so much time swimming with them. Heaps of food, warm tea, wetsuits, even a towel, and snacks were provided. This is a MUST DO when in Perth!!

The trip far exceeded my expectations. I didn't realise how many dolphins there were or how close you actually got to them. It is just you, a snorkel and a dolphin next to you absolutely amazing.
The trip is really well managed, the staff are clearly well trained and are very helpful.The tour organisers have clearly put a lot of thought into the trip as shown by the nice touches like the warm shower on the boat which came in really handy as the sea was quite cold.
The staff were really keen to give us as many opportunities to swim with the Dolphins as possible. Once a pod moved we would move the boat to find another and jumped straight back in the water.
I want to say a personal thanks to Will, Kameika and JT for one of the best days I've had.

I loved everything about the morning we spent with swimming with wild dolphins. Beautiful day, the guide was punctual, the crew was nice and very easy to connect with, great group. We saw dolphins at our first stop already. It's important to be aware of the fact that they are wild. Don't expect to touch a dolphin or playing with them. It's all about observing them in their natural habitat. I guess we were in the water about five times for a couple of minutes each. Last time we were in, we could watch the dolphins eating some fishes which they caught with help of a sting ray. We even got free pictures sent to us by e-mail.
