Itinerary:
Valid for 01APR25-31MAR26:
Meet the tour guides at Sorrento Pier, collect your equipment and then board the luxury ‘Moonraker.’ Where you can meet your captain and check in onboard. cruise into the sheltered shallow waters of Port Phillip Bay. Once onboard you can relax on the upper sundeck, inside lounge area or taking in the salt air on the front of the boat in a beanbag lounge. As you cruise out into the Bay your snorkel guides will walk you through all the activities, help familiarize you with the boat and all the features and areas to explore and then gear up and get ready to slid into the water. Visit the Australian Fur Seals and search the coastal locations for the resident dolphins. You will love the Australian fur seals and these friendly, fun and inquisitive Seals are just as special as the dolphins. The clear shallow waters surrounding the boat are filled with seals of all ages and sizes, the seal structures often attract small sea stars, giant smooth rays which glide beneath on the seafloor and sometimes spider crabs at one of the structures. You will come face to face with these inquisitive animals and this experience is something that you will remember for life. Once back onboard you will be served with lunch, hot drinks and snacks ensuring you’re energised and ready for the next snorkel. Once the dolphins are located observe their behaviour and location before approaching the pod. In small groups of 10, we slide quietly into the water, floating on the surface. Wait, watch and listen for the dolphin's squeaks and whistles to get louder, a sign that they will join and swim beneath the group. Each and every encounter is totally unique. Being wild and free, Each encounter is entirely based on what the dolphins are doing when located, sometimes they will swim around for endless minuets and other times they will glide past for a look and continue swimming, Spend as much time with them as possible both swimming and sightseeing but need to ensure we you are not changing their behaviour or lifestyle. The dolphins are resident to Port Phillip Bay however they are completely wild and aren’t always located on every cruise. It is believed this is part of the experience of seeking out an encounter with wild animals. Should you not see the dolphins on your tour you are welcome to come back for free anytime within 30 days. All cruises include a variety of inclusions at no additional cost! So your cruise ticket is all you need to pay, include lunch, snacks and drinks marine park fees and taxes
