DOLPHIN SWIM TOUR
Have you ever dreamed of swimming with wild dolphins? Well, here’s your opportunity! Tomorrow morning you could join the Rockingham Dolphins crew in their daily swim with wild dolphins. You’ll cruise out to the sheltered shallows, then it’s on with a mask and snorkel, and into the crystal blue waters of the Indian Ocean. Suddenly the water is filled with splashes and laughter- human and dolphin. Meet Logo, Boomerang or any other of over 180 local wild dolphins in their natural environment. They don’t do tricks and we don’t feed them, we simply spend some time enjoying each others company….
It’s a wild encounter! Our Dolphin Swim tour is popular with people of all ages. You don’t have to be an Olympic swimmer to join in and no previous snorkeling experience is required (although it is helpful)! Our professional and friendly crew conducts introductory snorkelling lessons and have an excellent track record of helping nervous/ less experienced swimmers through the experience. The tour is not recommended for children 6 years or younger unless the child has previous ocean experience and the parent is confident in their ability.
