What you can expect
Watch in wonder and amazement as pods of dolphins and seals swim right alongside the vessel on this Queenscliff dolphin sightseeing cruise. Over the course of 90 minutes, you’ll get up close and personal with a myriad of curious and playful marine creatures including Australian Fur Seals playing, pods of dolphins gleefully darting in and out of the water and Humpback Whales making their annual winter migration.
The vessel is equipped with a rooftop viewing platform and plenty of viewing decks to enjoy uninterrupted views of the wildlife throughout the Queenscliff dolphin cruise. This is a wildlife encounter you'll remember forever. Head to Queenscliff Boat Harbour to join the dolphin cruise every day at 12pm.
We proudly partner with Southern Ocean Environmental Link (SOEL) to deliver educational sessions for schools and community groups. A portion of every ticket sold contributes directly to supporting their initiatives. SOEL’s programs focus on sustainable practices, including plastic recycling, microplastic assessments of local beaches, and the use of Harbour Filters to remove rubbish and pollutants from stormwater runoff, helping to keep our waterways clean.
