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 Monday dolphins playing with octopus, which is alot of fun to watch as the dolphins throw them through the air then chase them and do it all over again. Wednesday was another good chance for us to introduce our passengers to our baby dolphins as they played together while their mums chased fish. The babies are growing fast and are quite active and very playful learning about the boats and they seem to be just as interested in taking a look at us as we are in them. We also got the chance to show our passengers just how high our dolphins can jump with Scar and the rest of the pod joining us at the southern entrance to the Port Mandurah Canals as soon as we left the canals the chase was on with the dolphins enjoying every minute leaping out of the water and splashing people as they landed. They dolphins followed us all the way to the Mandurah Estuary Bridge and then all the way back to the canals again to the delight of our passengers.
The 4pm cruise we found the same pod of dolphins just outside the canals again and they were ready for round two. Once again they chased the boat and leaped out of the water having a great time, this time past the estuary bridge then back again. Hope you enjoy the photos as much as we did taking them.
