Tuesday 24th August on board "SuperCat"

Tuesday 24th August on board the "SuperCat"

Thank you to the Christie family for sending in some great vidoes from Tuesday's cruise.

"While we are aware that dolphin cruises are often at the mercy of nature, the cruise was fantastic and we never expected to see dolphins leaping out of the water so close to the boat. I have to say this was an experience we will never forget!" - John Christie

Dolphins put on a show for our over seas visitors







On board the "SuperCat" 12pm Lunch Cruise with Kat & Kim on Tuesday, was an exciting day for all.
On board they had visitors from the UK and a family from Malaysia all keen to see dolphins.
The boat was heading back from the new traffic bridge and spotted a dolphin coming across to the boat. At first it went under the bow and then dropped back to the stern (port side) and started jumping in the wake of the boat.
The family from Malaysia were down stairs and got splashed from the dolphin jumping right along side the boat, but they loved it and screamed with joy!
Everyone on board thoroughly enjoyed the experience and had come from half way around the world to do so.

Thank you to the Christie Family from the UK for sending us in these great photos!

Mandurahs Playful Dolphins!


Alluka one of our baby dolphins has become very independant from her mother in the last couple of months. We have seen Alluka around the water ways and have often wondered why such a small dolphin is off by herself but her mother is never far behind. (Bendy) Wendy as all good mums tries to teach Alluka about fishing and the skills she will need in the future however Alluka is more interested in playing games and showing off to passengers onboard our boats.

Another dolphin was found in the canals after just catching an octopus, dolphins however cannot chew their food they must find a way to rip pieces off to make it smaller, of all the times we have seen dolphins with octopus we have never seen them eat one just play and throw them around until they get bored.

"Super Cat" had a great time on the 12noon cruise on Saturday with a very playful dolphin jumping next to the boat. All on board had a great time watching as the dolphin leaped into the air and splashed passengers as it hit the water.
