Swim with Wild Dolphins Day Tour

Itinerario

1. Your day begins with a coach transfer from Perth or meet the boat at Val st Jetty, Rockingham (located in front of the Rockingham Cruising Yacht Club). On arrival you'll board the Perth Wildlife Encounters custom-made dolphin swim vessel complete with a large rear platform, making access to the water very easy. After your crew has located a pod, you’ll gear up with wetsuits, masks and snorkels (all equipment is included) and then dive into the fun, as you are quickly surrounded by excited whistles and splashes as the dolphins arrive to play. While many resorts provide opportunities to swim with dolphins, the crew’s rapport with these precocious marine mammals has created one of the best swim-with-dolphins excursions in Australia. Better still, Rockingham is a brief, 40-minute drive from Perth, making it an easy day trip. Following your swim, you’ll be treated to lunch with gourmet Seafood platters.

• 5A fun day out on the water

  25/4/2026 As a dolphin lover I was excited to visit Perth to have a chance to see dolphins.. The weather today was calm and sunny which was fabulous. All the staff on this boat tour are very friendly, helpful and professional. The boat itself was clean and comfortable. There is plenty of seating areas and the wet suits provided were in excellent condition. It was lots of fun searching for the dolphins and finally seeing them appear in the water. A few of them came close enough for us to see easily although they swim and jump up and down in the water very quickly so it’s sometimes not easy to capture photos. I was very happy to be part of this event and highly recommended this day trip to other tourists visiting Perth.

• 5Fantastic experience swimming with sea lions!

  We had an amazing experience with Perth Wildlife Encounters and highly recommend them. We got to swim with so many sea lions and saw several pods of dolphins swimming right next to our boat, the overall experience was exceptional! The staff were friendly, patient, and incredibly supportive. My 11-year-old struggled at first with breathing through the snorkel, but the team took the time to calmly guide her and build her confidence. The seal encounter was absolutely superb and something we’ll never forget. The food was also excellent and added to the overall experience. The staff truly went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt comfortable and had a fantastic time.

• 4A morning chasing life dolphins with an enthusiastic crew

  The boat goes chasing the dolphins in the open sea, which is quite an endeavour. They can be found earlier or later, so it can get frustrating if you've been waiting a few hours on your wet suit - but that is the beauty of wild dolphin encounters! The crew is absolutely lovely and makes the experience, even the wait, much nicer. I could have had more explanations about dolphins, and specifically about those living here during wait times, since they know a lot. The jump in the water is done in groups of around five, three at a time, so it gets a bit busy and messy. I wondered if practicing the jump in and chain swim in advance wouldn't maybe have helped it go smoother once dolphins were spotted. The shark-scaring machines can be intimidating. Lunch was good; it makes sense to not eat too much or you might not feel like jumping in the water again! All in all, a positive experience, yet few improvement opportunities are there to make it top notch.

• 5Must do experience!

  From the moment we got there, the team were so welcoming and accommodating. A lovely crew to have enjoyed this experience with. Being able to swim with dolphins in their natural habitat was a feeling myself and my parents can’t even begin to explain. We would recommend this to anyone looking into it whether you are with your family, children, friends or even going solo. Once again big shout out to the entire team for a magical day.

• 5Dolphin Swimming

  Amazing day! I had read some of the more negative reviews (e.g about overcrowding) and been worried, but glad I booked in the end! The dolphins swim around and between you, a fantastic experience. 8am - 2pm, approx £150 per person. Large size boat and day with calm waves so didn’t experience any sea sickness. Lots of free parking on nearby streets. In the morning we boarded the boat, with clear instructions about the day and assistance fitting into wetsuits, then set sail. Found two pods of dolphins within the first three hours but they weren’t displaying the correct behaviours out of five types (feeding, socialising, fighting, etc) so the boat continued. In the next two hours we saw dolphins almost constantly, and each team got in the water 3 times to swim with the pods (for a couple minutes each time). You slip into the water while holding onto a belt on the person in front, floating instead of swimming/kicking, with the guide at the front using a little jet device to pull the chain of people a few feet through the water if the dolphins/boat moved further away. There was twenty participants on the boat, so 4 groups of 5 chained people, and the order of the chain is switched each time so those at the back (who can still see well) get an even better view on the next swim. The water was a decent temperature, and a hot shower hose available to warm inside your suit if you start getting cold on the boat between swims. Definitely recommend bringing a gopro with waterproof case for fantastic views, though the guides have a camera too on the end of their jet device and share photos of the dolphins for free. While on the boat we also saw a huge manta ray in the water, which is apparently very rare as they are only seen 1-2 days a year in this area. Finally lunch was served buffet style, a decent size mix of charcuterie meats and veg/dips/salad. Good allergy labelling for milk/gluten/nuts/vegetarian but high risk of cross contamination (could be improved by serving people with allergies first or separating the trays/tongs further apart). A high price for a quick experience, but definitely worth it if you’re an animal lover

• 5Fabulous day snorkelling with 20 dolphins

  What a wonderful friendly show the dolphins put on for us today. We saw way more than we expected. Really friendly crew, lots of advice and information. Lunch was excellent, really fresh and tasty. Plenty of equipment on board and enough space for everyone in the group.

About Perth

Perth is the capital of Western Australia, a sunny Indian Ocean city on the Swan River with a large hilltop park, white beaches and the port of Fremantle.

Perth sits where the Swan River widens into a broad estuary on the Indian Ocean coast, and it is often described as one of the most remote large cities in the world, with Adelaide more than two thousand kilometres to the east. Kings Park, a large reserve of bushland and botanic garden on a hill, looks over the skyline and the water, and the Elizabeth Quay waterfront anchors the centre.
