Temptation Dolphin Swim cruise is an absolute must-do while visiting Australia.

You'll have the amazing opportunity of swimming with wild Dolphins - one of the Earth’s most fascinating and curious creatures - while in their natural environment!

“Temptation” is a 58ft colossal sailing catamaran. As soon as you board, the professional and enthusiastic crew make you feel welcome and also excited about the adventure you are about to encounter. Their love of dolphins shows as they brief you about what to expect from the cruise and swim.

Sometimes within minutes you get to see the first dolphins of the day, which seem to come out of nowhere to play and frolic around Temptation’s hulls. They don’t even go looking for dolphins; the dolphins come to the vessel. Please be assured the dolphins are NOT fed or coaxed in any way. They are wild dolphins that know the vessel and know they are not in any danger.

Front Swim Experience: You don't want to miss this - by way of a custom made swim net you'll experience wild dolphin swimming up close and personal. Feel as if you're part of the dolphin pod whilst swimming within arms length of the dolphins, playing and socializing on the bow of the boat.

Back Swim Experience: Interact with the dolphins in their natural habitat from a unique perspective. Jump on and hold onto the mermaid lines off the back of the vessel and interact with the dolphins as they play and jump. An amazing and unique experience.

Nice experience

Great experience and nice crew. We could see some dolphins swimming around us and some seals also. The ship and the equipment provided was ok. The only thing we didn't enjoyed was the cold water.
