Listed Below are the best Australian Dolphin Tours, Cruises, Charters, Packages, Swim, Play and Dive Locations.
There are about 33 separate species of Dolphin throughout the world, many living in Australian waters. The Bottlenose Dolphin is the most common species of Dolphin and is able to live in a variety of climates.
Dolphins, like their cousins the whales are warm-blooded mammals that breathe air and often live in pods of 15 or more. Some groups live permanently in various bays, estuaries and inlets around Australia such as
Port Stephens, Hervey Bay, Jervis Bay, Moreton Bay and other areas. This increases the chance that visitors on dolphin cruises in these areas will see dolphins. Often you will see dolphins in pods cruising along
beaches just outside of the breakers or playing in the surf. They are also attracted to boats and play in the bow wake. But the best way to see dolphins is to join and dolphin watch cruise which operate all around Australia.
At some location such as Monkey Mia the dolphins come to the shore and can be fed by visitors on a beautiful safe beach, and play with these incredible creatures? At other locations you can swim, dive and snorkel
amongst the dolphins. Australia is fortunate to have many places around its coastline that are ideal for whale and dolphin watching, and many operators cater for viewing of both species. Other operators combine
dolphin and whale watching trips with diving and snorkelling adventures, sailing and scenic ferry cruises. The most popular dolphin tour areas are # Jervis Bay, Port Stephens, Newcastle, Sydney, Byron Bay in NSW
# Hervey Bay, Moreton Bay, Barrier Reef waters, Whitsunday Island in Queensland # Glenelg, Adelaide, Port Lincoln and Kangaroo Island in South Australia# Monkey Mia, Shark Bay, Kalbarri, Rockingham, Albany in Western Australia
