As we have mentioned before, the Mandurah dolphins are already a cheeky bunch of animals, so on a day like April Fool's Day you can never be sure what sort of tomfoolery they will be up to! And they did not dissapoint. One of the smallest calves that we have seen this year was leaping and twirling and playing in our waves near the Anzac Memorial Park. The passengers were absolutely ecstatic that

The sun was shining, the water was glistening and the dolphins were leaping - Wednesday was the perfect day to cruise the Mandurah Estuary!Just as the Super Cat was cruising through Mandjar Bay our sister ship, the Dancing Dolphin, radioed through that a pod of six dolphins had been playing with their boat, and they were heading straight towards us! True to form, within a few minutes the dolphins

The past few days have been particulary interesting on the Mandurah waterways not only have we been seeing our playful dolphins but this week they had a new playmate, Sammy the sea lion who visits us from Seal Island in Rockingham. The dolphins and Sea Lion swam together outside the Mandurah Ocean Marina on Sunday morning.We have also had the opportunity to watch on two separate occassions on

As we headed out on our 3pm cruise we quickly spotted a pod of dolphins near the Mandurah Ocean Marina, this pod came for a quick surf next to the boat but were more interested in catching an afternoon snack so we left this pod in search of some more dolphins. As we exited the Port Mandurah Canals we spotted the mums with the baby dolphins. There were 6 dolphins altogether including the babies.

After all the excitement from the 11am cruise, "Super Cat" headed out on its lunch time cruise an hour and a half of fish and chips, canal homes, bird life and yes you guessed it Mandurah's friendly dolphins. On this trip we caught up with an old friend Scar was out and about in the Mandurah estuary near Boundry Island. Scar and his pod then followed us through Sticks channel into the Peel Inlet,

The 11am cruise onboard Bouvard Cruises "Super Cat" started well with passengers getting an up close look at two of our baby dolphins, later on as we were cruising back towards the Port Mandurah canals from the Estuary Bridge we heard a loud thud only to look over to our right and from the top bridge of the vessel see a dolphin looking at us. By this stage both crew and passengers were quite

Yesterday Tuesday 9th Feb was an amazing day for the crew and passengers alike onboard Bouvard cruises "Super Cat". The day started with a visit from two of our cutest dolphins bubba Sonic and the youngest calf who is yet to be named. The mums both brought their babies into Manjar Bay to teach them how to fish, however we think the calves were more interested in playing. The passengers onboard,

We have been so lucky over the past few days as we are seeing more and more of the dolphins and they have been very playful. The dolphins have been playing in the wake of our boats quite often lately which is great to see and always alot of fun. The mother dolphins have also been very trusting with our boats around the newborn calves, normally they will keep them away from boats until they learn

Bouvard cruises "Dancing Dolphin" has just seen another newborn dolphin calf out in the estuary younger and much smaller than baby Sonic who was only too happy to show off and play with the boat to the delight of our passengers and crew. The newest arrival wasnt shy either and mum bought him over to the boat for a quick ride under the bow giving us a rare chance to get a photo of such a young

What an amazing week it has been for the crew and passengers onboard Bouvard Cruises this week. There have been dolphin sightings on nearly every cruise this week and the dolphins have been amazing, from baby dolphins just about every day to dolphins leaping out of the water and playing in the wake of the boats. One of the local pods including Nikky, White Spot and 22 have been chasing after our

In the last few weeks we have had two new arrivals. The crew at Bouvard Cruises have been happy to introduce two baby dolphins to their passengers with regular sightings of a 7 week old calf and a smaller calf that is about a week and a half old now. Both calves are doing well and are getting more and more confident, which is great for us to get a good look at them. Like any baby they are still

Bouvard Cruises are celebrating the arrival of two baby dolphins in the Mandurah area. One of our favourite pods of dolphins Nikkys family have introduced two calves to our passengers in the last couple of weeks. They are very cute and we are trying to get photos of the calves but it is so hard as the calves are still learning to swim properly however we did get a quick shot of the older of the

Our passengers often ask us on our cruises where are we going to see the dolphins or when will we see them, and our answer is always the same, we're not sure. This is because all of the dolphins we see are wild and they come and go when they wish. We feel this is the best bit about going out in search of the dolphins because you never know where they will be or what they will be doing.

Gavin & Tara sighted a dolphin in the Dawesville Channel on Sunday with half a fin " It looked like it had been chopped off" and contacted us to see if we knew what dolphin it was.We believe it was possibly Nicky, she has half her fin missing and has been in the Mandurah waterways for many years. We often see her playing in the wake of our boats. Nicky has raised several calves over the years in

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

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

Doug and Kim were out and about last Sunday onboard the "Dancing Dolphin" and heading from the Port Mandurah Canals into the estuary when they spotted a dolphin fishing in the shallow waters of the Creery Wetlands. They headed over to the dolphin who at first was only interested in one thing, breakfast but after finding enough to eat the dolphin decided to have a bit of fun and play infront of

Winter is here! Lucky for us dolphins can be seen in Mandurah all year round, which means you don't have to wait until the sunny weather returns to see some of our playful friends. In the last few weeks the dolphins have been in and out of the estuary every day playing with the boats and looking for food in the shallow waters. Mandurah is a great place for the dolphins as the shallow waters are

The votes were close between Tide and Alluka...Alluka was the winner with 158 votes compared to 116 votes for Tide.Congratulations to Shanae Miller who suggested the name Alluka you are the winner of the Mandurah Stay & Play Package.There have been a number of new dolphin calves recently so I'm sure one of the Bouvard Cruises crew will name another calf Tide.Alluka was born on the 3rd of March

Today onboard the "Dancing Dolphin" Kim & Alex had an exciting afternoon near the starboard marker near the sticks channel. They sighted a pod of dolphins moving quite quickly upstream and were not interested in interacting with the boat. They had there eye on a school of fish on the point near the sand bar. All of a sudden a seal popped up amongst the dolphins! It popped it's head above the

Up to 5 dolphins were seen on Monday feeding in this spot on large school or herring.

Dolphins have to be conscious to breathe, this means that they cannot sleep like you and I do in a deep sleep as they would suffocate. To sleep dolphins sleep half of their brain at a time, we often see the dolphins snoozing on the surface of the water with their blowholes exposed, however it depends on the individual dolphins as to how they sleep. Some choose to swim slowly and surface

We have had beautiful sunny weather over the past week with crystal clear water in the Mandurah estuary and the dolphins have been spending alot of time in and around the waterways with both "Super Cat" and "Dancing Dolphin" seeing dolphins on most cruises. We have seen a few of our favourites this week including Nikky, Scar, White Spot and the young calf who we are currently running a baby

One of Bouvard Cruises Captain Club members and Mariners Cove resident Moira Walton was out and about on the Mandurah waterways this week taking photos of a home she had just listed for sale, when she saw a pod of dolphins in the estuary. We are not sure if they were chasing fish or just having some fun but they definately put on a great show. Moira who has only lived in Mandurah since December

There is always something happening in Mandurah, and the dolphins are usually a big part of it, especially for those cruising with Bouvard Cruises. "Dancing Dolphin" has had alot of fun this week with the playful dolphins spinning and twirling on the bow wave and jumping off the side of the boat in its wake. They have also been spotted exploring through the shallow water on Fairbridge bank

Passengers often ask us where we are going to find the dolphins and do they swim through the marina and canal systems and the answer is yes! It is not uncommon for dolphins to be found in the canals and are usually looking a food, which could be a number of different types of fish and even octopus. The dolphins are very smart and know that if they chase the fish along the rock wall at great

In recent months there has been a baby boom in Mandurah’s Dolphin population with at least 4 new baby dolphins born since Christmas. To celebrate this fantastic population boom with Mandurah’s dolphins we are going to hold a naming contest for the latest baby dolphin who arrived only 4 weeks ago.The contest is open to everyone and we are putting up a fantastic prize to whoever comes up with the

Last week 19 month old Zen visited Mandurah with his family including his Grandparents - Janis & Barry from the UK.Zen saw his first dolphin jumping in the wash of "SuperCat" near the New Mandurah Traffic Bridge. The young dolphin followed "SuperCat" for about 10 minutes and put on a fantastic display for all passengers onboard.

We have been seeing good numbers of dolphins travelling through the Mandurah waterways in the past few weeks and they have been very playful often playing near the boat, in the wake or one of their favourite games is to play with seaweed where they put the seaweed on their dorsal fin then onto the tail and flick it to their mate. Feeding time is also fun to watch as the dolphins can be very quick

Here is the first photo of Mandurah's newest baby dolphin. It's been swimming strong and has plenty of support from it's pod. Put your thinking caps on because very shortly (just organising some cool prizes) we are going to be holding a competition to come up with a name for the baby dolphin. Stay tuned for more information coming soon.

This is our best dolphin movie so far, two dolphins recently were having an absolute ball next to our ferry and getting some serious "air-time" with some amazing high leaps and jumps. All this right next to the ferry and only a couple of metres from our guests. And the best part is this happens all the time!!! Enjoy.

The Mandurah dolphins have been pretty busy over the Christmas season mating, feeding in the shallows, throwing fish but also finding time to play with seaweed and with our vessels "Dancing Dolphin" and "Super Cat". Nikky and her calf who is now one year old have been sighted quite often in the last few weeks, Nikky is teaching her calf how to survive once the calf leaves her side. This week they

Another "Amazing" clip of Mandurah's dolphin playing in the wake of Bouvard Cruise's ferry "Super Cat". There were about 6 dolphins in the pod swapping from one side of the ferry to the other. The Mandurah dolphins seem to really like the wake that the "Super Cat" puts off because when ever they are around they always come over and play.

Today Ron our skipper onboard "Super Cat" saw two dolphins in the marina, one of them was Nikky our local female dolphin. We know it was Nikky because she has the top part of her dorsal fin missing. Maybe she was hanging out in the marina, heading in to Dolphin Quay  to get some early Christmas shopping done. If you would like to see our Mandurah Dolphin's Phone: +61 8 9581 1242 Email: info@
