You probably wouldn't think it even exists, but Polperro Dolphin Swim offers a chartered cruise our into the Post Philip Bay and gives guests an opportunity to swim with the large Dolphin pods of the bay. Indigenous to the bay area, these unique fellas are inquisitive enough to swim up from the deep and frolic around the swimmer. Don't expect to get too close or to touch them, but do expect to be left in awe of their sheer wild beauty.
You'll meet the charter on the Sorrento Pier before setting out to sea. Each diver gets a wetsuit (the water is pretty chilly, but not unbearable), and goggles. The charter accommodates sight seers too! Chug along and drop in as the pods swim around the vessel, giving you a magnificent display.
As you move on with the cruise, marvel at their dexterity in the water as they coast the waves create by the larger vessels that comes into the bay from Tasmania. You'll witness incredible jumps and flips up close.
The last stop is Seal Island where you can enjoy free swimming with the local seals. They are pretty friendly and inquisitive and will come up close. If you have the skill, swim along exploring the floor of the bay to see crabs, rays and more!
This is an adventure not to be overlooked. It was worth every cent and delivered on the promise. If you are a fan of the wild and enjoy it from a unique point of view, this is something you have to do.
The team is punctual and professional and have a great knowledge of the bay and the locals. Dress warm as the winds can be rather chilly, even in summer, and be sure to keep a dry change of clothes in the car in case. read more
