WHAT A WONDERFUL WEEK WITH THE RAIN!

Another week through winter means another week closer to summer! But don’t let the cool weather put you off as we have had dolphin encounters the past week and even more this morning, Monday the 6th August, 2012 with two dolphins playing it up in the rain giving all customers a wonderful show. With cruises running everyday don’t miss out on seeing our beautiful dolphins all year round.


Dolphin Sightings:

Tuesday 31st of August - 8 dolphins were sighted on both cruises! Our vessel “Mandjar” departed at both 11am and 1pm and saw this playful pod on both trips. The pod was feeding and rounding up fish while playing and showing off to the customers. With dolphins seen to be chasing fish up to 30 - 40km in short bursts, what a sight!

Friday the 3rd of August - 2 dolphins got close and personal hitching a ride off our vessel “Dancing Dolphin” wake, while heading out to the ocean swimming north from Mandurah’s new Bypass Bridge towards the Old Mandurah Bridge.
