Cần Quan Tâm

Meet us at Sorrento Pier, collect your equipment and board the luxury ‘Moonraker.’ Once onboard we cruise into the bay your snorkel guides walk you through the activities and familiarising you with the boat. We firstly visit the shallow waters filled with seals of all ages and sizes, you will come face to face with these inquisitive animals and this experience is something that you will remember for life. Once back onboard we serve lunch, ensuring you’re energised and ready for our next snorkel. Once the dolphins are located we observe their behaviour and location before we approach the pod. In small groups of 10, we slide into the water, floating on the surface. We wait, for the dolphin's squeaks and whistles to get louder, a sign that they will join us and swim. Each encounter is totally unique, sometimes they will swim around us for endlessly other times they will glide past for a look and continue swimming, We spend as much time as possible swimming and sightseeing but need to ensure we are not changing their behaviour or lifestyle. The dolphins are resident to Port Phillip Bay, should you not see the dolphins you are welcome to come back for free anytime within 30 days.

We had a fantastic day with a family of five. We were lucky enough to see a lot of dolphins on the day and even luckier to get to swim with them. Great day and the weather was fab which made it more special. Crew on board were also great
Great experience well worth the money. Great service, nice boat and the inclusions make it a great experience

I traveled with two friends and we absolutely love this tour. The staff were really lovely and really helpful and the boat was awesome, lots of space, toilets one had a shower to rinse off and there’s a cafe/bar where you can buy snacks if you need, although lunch is included! They had lots of new wetsuits and as it was October the water and air was cold so they had thermal jackets for over our wetsuits. I thought this was a great tour and we really had a good time. Value, fun and we got what we paid for plus more.
Ok

Trip was ok. More about other things than actual seeing dolphins. Even though we had a thick wetsuit it was freezing especially after getting back to the boat and waiting another 20min to get to the next spot.

Nice boat trip with a very good crew. Trip was Informative. Sadly no dolphins, which was the main reason for booking the trip. I thought you'd be fairly certain you would see a few dolphins, so we were a little disappointed, having driven 90 mins to get there. The boat was clean, toilets were on board, and we were given a couple of biscuits too. Trip was good. We saw the seals and some birds. We understand these are wild animals so it's up to them whether they decide to show up...
It was an extremely warm...

It was an extremely warm day ,sat it the heat for an extra 30 minutes due to a late arrival of ten people,missed the chance to swim with dolphins as way to much waiting and watching in the end so many people were so hot and bothered and uncomfortable we stopped at the seals, everyone was so happy to get in the water just to cool off! staff were lovely but $175 each pretty disappointed 😞

TLDR : Go to Kaikoura in New Zealand - way better I was surprised to see to see dolphin tours in the busy Melbourne bay. The tour operator gave a high chance of success and apart from dolphins we would also see seals and sea horses - great. In case the dolphins were not there on that day the Moonraker team stated on their website that we could just try again for free. A few friends of mine had already gone on a first trip, but no luck and they did not see any dolphins. When they tried a second time (for free) I decided to join in. Again we went without really seeing any dolphins. The captain tried hard and at one point there was the fin of a single dolphin in the distance, but quickly disappeared. Maybe that was because there was several other boats trying to claim the best spot and just chasing away the animals. Swimming with seals was the best part. We also stopped at a port with a lot of anglers to see sea horse. I did not see any and neither did anyone else in the group. All this would not have been a huge deal. Sometimes you are just not that lucky. But when I asked how to book the next trip for free (as I had not been swimming with dolphins as advertised) Moonraker just told me that I had seen the dolphin and that was apparently it. No second trip, no swimming with dolphins. No refund or discount either.
Wonderful moments

It was certainly an amazing time swimming with the seals closely in the sea. Their movements is beautiful. It was very pity that we were not able to spot the dolphin that day though I do understand you cannot guarantee anything from wildlifes. I would do it again for swimming with dolphins if I ever traveled Melbourne, but would be in a warmer season, this time the sea water was still in low temperature. We were freezing and shaking hard for long after coming out from the water.
Absolutely Wonderful tour!

I chose the sightseeing tour with my parents, we saw the groups of dolphins swimming just behind the boat! Took tons of photos of them. Lots of fun! The staffs are friendly and the food is delightful. Definitely will recommend to my friends and come back for swimming tour.
Best to have realistic expectations about 'swimming' with the dolphins

We initially did this trip in December but did not see dolphins, so returned in March to try again. The crew are all very kind and helpful and made sure everyone was safe. I had read all the glowing reviews and perhaps my expectations were unrealistic so decided to write this review. Their website states that only 10 swimmers can be in the water near the dolphins at a time but I did not realise its implications. We had over 20 swimmers on the boat so had to divide into 3 separate groups and were hustled and in and out of the water after less than 5 minutes. Even with all the crews efforts to find the dolphins and get each group in and out 2 or 3 times in different places to be able to see them, in the end some people saw dolphins while swimming, some did not. Although I enjoyed the trip, watching the dolphins from the boat and swimming with the seals, I don't consider the effort and cost worth it to possibly be in the water for a few minutes of the 3 hour trip to see a dolphin swim past you in a flash. Afternoon tea consisted of some broken chocolate chip biscuits, a plate of mini muffins and a plate of fruit, none of which I got because there was just not enough for everyone.
