Polperro Dolphin Swims
đ Sorrento, VIC
Polperro Dolphin Swims departs from Sorrento for intimate encounters with wild dolphins and Australian fur seals in Port Phillip Bay. All snorkelling gear provided. Both swimmer and spectator options available on the same boat.
This was our second time doing this dolphin cruise, and it was just as wonderful as the first. The first time I went in the water, and this time I was a spectator - both experiences were equally enjoyable. The crew are incredibly warm, friendly, and attentive, and they genuinely make you feel relaxed and comfortable from start to finish. Their professionalism and care really stand out. We were lucky enough to see so many dolphins, as well as seals, which was absolutely amazing. The tea and scones were a lovely touch and made the experience even more special. I would highly recommend this cruise and would happily go back again and again.
đ Family Action Verdict
Best for families who want a genuine wild-animal encounter rather than a staged experience. The small group size means the crew can attend to nervous swimmers and younger kids personally. Non-swimmers or parents who prefer to watch are equally catered for from the boat.

âStaff were fantastic, vey laid back and knowledgeable about marine animals. 100% recommend, we got to swim with the dolphins and seals which was unreal!!!!!!! I had a dolphin swim under me. The seals were the highlight of the trip, the most funniest animals to watch. The scones and hot chocolate was a nice touch at the end of the trip.â

âWe had the most amazing experience with the Polperro crew a few weeks ago. The whole team are amazing - I would definitely recommend the experience (we are keen to go again!). We saw heaps of dolphins and swam with seals! Ben - I'm sorry for my over-excited jumps into the water!! Jess - thanks for the hot cuppa just when we needed it.â
