What To Expect

Board your spacious catamaran at the designated spot in Mandurah and step aboard to begin your dolphin-watching cruise.

Cruise past the luxury homes that perch beside the canals as you head into the Peel Inlet and Mandurah Estuary. The shallow waterways shelter wild dolphins as they rest and eat. The dolphins love to play, and if you're lucky you can watch them riding in the wake of the boat and leaping out of the water. Keep an eye out for some of the 130 species of birds that live in the renowned Creery Wetlands. Hear informative live commentary about the region from your onboard guide.

Enjoy a tasty local fish-and-chip lunch on late-morning cruises (extra cost). Several departure times are available throughout the day.

Mandurah’s dolphins are wild animals living in their natural environment, and on this tour you're guaranteed a sighting.

Dolphins
Dorothy_W, Jan 2025
Beautiful relaxing day seeing the dolphins wildlife, the guide was wonderful in explaining, beautiful houses to see
Amazing experience
Jennifer_B, Jan 2025
Fantastic experience and wonderful commentary on board. She was bright, enthusiastic and clearly passionate about the flora and fauna of the area. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour and loved watching the dolphins ride along side the boat. Recommend this experience. Will definitely do it again and try some of the other Mandurah cruise options. Thank you for a great afternoon!
Maybe include another place if interest
Cheryl_K, Jan 2025
Was a lovely boat ride, but not too many dolphins around as years ago. Maybe include another place of interest

Philile_D, Jan 2025
Very educational trip about Perth and it's surroundings. Money well spent and we saw plenty of dolphins
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Thank you for your review and pleased to hear you had a great time on board - we look forward to seeing you again soon!
Waste of time and money
Andrea_O, Jan 2025
I’m sure it’s hit and miss to see the dolphins but ours was definitely a miss. We saw two fins from a far distance and it was over an hour ride. The lady speaking didn’t take a breathe the whole trip. So we had to listen to a constant monotone voice of some narrating our trip ‘there’s a seagul, there’s a house etc’. Myself, my husband and 3 kids travelled from Perth and we were unfortunately all very bored and very disappointed with the cruise.

Thank you for your review and for taking the time to cruise with us - we hope to see you again soon!
Just a bit disappointing
Debra_M, Jan 2025
Couldn’t hear the commentary, only saw the fins of two dolphins. For those that had to sit inside perhaps don’t allow people to sit on the front of the boat because you can’t see anything
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Thank you for your review and sorry to hear you found the commentary level low, I will follow up on this with our crew and hope to see you again soon!
I was disappointed as we...
Faizan_B, Dec 2024

Highlight of our trip!
Joseph_W, Dec 2024
It was much more than what we had expected. The cruise was probably the highlight of our trip to Perth and though we only managed to spot a couple of dolphins, the entire ride around the bay gave us a most memorable and mesmerizing picture of Mandurah! The commentary was professionally done as well! Great job and thanks for a most wonderful experience!
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Wow thank you for your amazing review and so pleased to hear our cruise was a highlight of your trip. We hope to see you again soon!

We laughed, took pictures, and made memories we’ll never forget!
Jasmeet_S, Dec 2024
Watching the dolphins jump and play was so exciting and magical. The kids loved spotting dolphins and waving at them from the boat. The cool breeze and sparkling water made the cruise extra special.
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Thank you for your review and for taking the time to cruise with us on board - so happy the dolphins came over to say hello and we hope to see you again soon!
We couldn’t see dolphins. Only once time very quickly and my daughter was very sad.
Mina_Y, Dec 2024
Actually when I saw your website and pictures completely different than our experience. No dolphins to see, only far from us very quickly.

Disappointing
Pallavi_A, Oct 2024
The cruise was for one hour with guaranteed dolphin sightings but we could just see dolphins for 5 minutes.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Hi. So sorry you were disappointed, So our dolphin guarantee works in that if we don’t see dolphins, you can travel again for free on us for until you do. Here you saw dolphins. We don’t want guests to have inadequate dolphin sightings - a fin in the distance is our judgment of an inadequate sighting - but equally it’s a judgement call by our tour guides on what is a decent dolphin sighting and seeing dolphins swimming up close for 5 minutes we judged sufficient quality sighting. I’m not sure what we could have done differently on the basis of this, however of course we are happy to investigate further if you wanted to reach out and talk to us on reservations@mandurahcruises.com.au
Dolphins at Mandurah.
Ludger_R, Oct 2024
Good experience to watch the dolphins in natural habitat. The crews are professional and atmosphere was relaxing.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Thank you so much for your review, so glad to hear you enjoyed yourself
boring
Simone_G, Oct 2024
unfortunately there wasn't any dolphins around that day. it's should really be called the Canal Cruise as you see more of these and the expensive home than you do Dolphins
Response from Host, Oct 2024
So sorry to hear, we have a dolphin guarantee which allows you to return on us so you do see wild dolphins; which are frequently in our waterways
Unforgettable cruise
Vesna_R, Sep 2024
