Have you ever dreamed of swimming with wild dolphins? Join Perth Wildlife Encounters, a company with over 25 years of experience & friendship built up with local dolphins, for a magnificent encounter experience from Shoalwater.
Highlights
- 3 to 6 hour cruise on our luxury, custom built boat (toilets and showers onboard)
- Full length wetsuits, mask and snorkel & snorkeling lessons
- Our wild dolphin guarantee! If we don't swim with dolphins on your cruise, you can come again for free.
- Expert guides riding underwater scooters to get you up close and personal with the dolphins
- Light lunch and refreshments served onboard
- Self serve tea, coffee, hot chocolate & fresh water.
Your adventure begins with cruising Rockingham’s sheltered bays and islands in search of any of over 200 local dolphins that your crew have come to know as friends. Before long, sleek, silvery grey dorsal fins start breaking the surface of the water within metres of the back of the boat and it's time to zip your wetsuit up, put your mask and snorkel on and get ready to take the plunge! Our friendly guides will get you seated comfortably, ready to go, on the swim deck. They'll be joining you in the water to ensure you make the most of your wild dolphin encounter. Once the boat is in the right position, the skipper gives the command that everyone's been waiting for- Go!
Suddenly, you are surrounded by flashing grey torpedoes and the water is filled with whistles, splashes and laughter — both human and dolphin. They don’t do tricks and we don’t feed them, we simply spend some time enjoying each other’s company … it’s a wild encounter!
We are dedicated to ensuring the best experience for both visitors and dolphins. We ask you to remember that we are working with wild animals. Please approach each encounter with caution and respect and never assume that we have control over the dolphins’ appearance or behaviors. The dolphins’ approval of our friendship is reflected in our better than 99% success rate.
You don’t have to be an expert swimmer to join in and no previous snorkeling experience is necessary. Our professional and friendly crew conducts introductory snorkeling lessons and have an excellent track record of helping nervous or less experienced swimmers through the experience. Just bring a sense of adventure and be ready for an unforgettable, exhilarating encounter!
Included: Luxury Platter Selection - please let us know if you have any dietary requirements.

Rockingham wildlife encounter swim with dolphins
This was the best of days. There are not enough positive things to say. Our team were fantastic, supportive, inclusive, organized, and respectful to the dolphins. They made sure every person in the tour had the opportunity to be in the water with the dolphins but also were able to read the situation when these amazing animals had enough of us. All the food was beautiful too... the doorstop buttie was delicious and needed. Paula and Mel

Swimming with dolphins in Rockingham
Even though it was a slow start to the day, not seeing dolphins at first, they served a delicious fruit platter, with tea and coffee. Once the dolphins arrived it was go go go. A fantastic day out, the staff were incredible, and always checking to see if we saw dolphins. Highly recommend this tour.

must do bucket list moment!
What an incredible morning it was from first stepping onto the boat the crew were incredibly friendly and professional. Everyone on the boat had 5+ opportunities to swim with dolphins and we were so lucky to see pods of them nearly every time. The lunch was beautiful, the crew and experience created such a great environment it was lovely to see everyone on the boat chatting to each other and enjoying this experience as a collective. There’s something about dolphins that no matter what age you are, turn you to back to a child! They’re so majestic and beautiful and playful.. we all just had the best day and it’s an experience I’ll never forget! So glad I got to share it with my child too.

Just watching already worthwhile
I’m afraid of water so just be a spectator while my husband and girl join swimming. My worries was gone seeing the professionalism of the crew and the equipment. Jackson is super. The sea is also calm. Will definitely go into the water next time. It’s safe even for non swimmers like me. A must try in wa.
