Memorable experience

Janet_K, Mar 2023

This was a most memorable trip. We saw more dolphins than expected and they came so close to the boat. It was definitely good value as because of tides our trip was actually for 2 hours. Lovely scenery along the way as well. Would highly recommend.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Thank you for your review Janet. Pleased you enjoyed the Ultimate Jervis Bay Expedition.

After participating in...

Chont_p, Mar 2023

After participating in the Jervis Bay Dolphin Cruise, I was left with an unforgettable experience. Seeing the wild dolphins swimming and playing in their natural habitat was truly magical. The clear waters and stunning coastline only added to the beauty of the experience. The knowledgeable crew provided interesting insights and made the trip even more enjoyable. I left feeling grateful for the opportunity to witness such amazing creatures and the breathtaking scenery. It was a highlight of my trip to Australia and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Kay_K, Feb 2023

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Thank you for your review.

Great way to send an afternoon.

Madaline_A, Feb 2023

The crew were lovely and they did everything to ensure we saw dolphins, which we did. It would have been good, if at the start they told us we were going to do a tour of the beaches before heading out. As we thought that was all were going to do for the first 20 minutes.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Thank you for your review and feedback, which will be forwarded to Management.

Danielle_D, Jan 2023

It was my son’s first time on a ship and he got a bit sea sick. The staff on board were magnificent with him. They made sure he was ok and moved him to the back. Then continually checked in on us. We got to see the dolphins as well. Highly recommend the staff and experience

Kimberly_H, Jan 2023

Too many people on the boat so very difficult to get close enough to the rail to get good pictures. Refreshment booth should be open longer.

Dolphin cruise jervis bay

Chandan_P, Dec 2022

Cruise was amazing experience 90 mins and time well spent within the bay and dolphins , well maintained cruise with clean deck areas. Also, I would suggest to take morning cruise 10am one we took considering the summer hot towards afternoon hours and morning hours cruise was pleasant in middle of sea breeze.

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Thank you for your review and pleased you enjoyed your tour with us.

Addina_Z, Aug 2022

It was fun and an exciting day. We didnt see any dolphins even after half of the trip and I started to lose hope but almost at the end of the trip, we managed to see more than 3 dolphins. Overall, it was so fun.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Thank you Addina for your review. Yes our resident Bottlenose dolphins sometimes love to play hide and seek. Pleased you enjoyed your tour with Jervis Bay Wild.

Amazing

Lesley_W, July 2022

Unfortunately we didn’t see any dolphins however we were very fortunate to see a Southern Right Whale and her cub which was an absolute bonus and honour. The captain of the cruise was brilliant in his knowledge and respect for the marine life. 10/10

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Thank you Leslie for your review and how lucky were you to see a Southern Right whale, as it is not often that they come into the bay. I will pass on your comments to the boat crew.

Decent Tour!

Duane_W, May 2022

This tour was OK. I guess for me I was disappointed because it was supposed to be a boom netting excursion. It was canceled because of the bad weather in Australia, no one's fault. It was just changed to a regular dolphin excursion. We did see dolphins, and Viator did a good job of informing me of the change and getting me a partial refund because of the tour modification. I just say the tour was OK because I was set for something different, and the location was 3hrs outside Sydney and cost me $200 bucks to get there on an airport shuttle, just to do a regular Dolphin excursion. I would not have gone there if it was a regular dolphin, but again no one's fault, except mother nature...lol but the tour itself was good and we did see dolphins and the guides were nice and professional!

Response from Host, May 2022

Thank you for your review and yes mother nature lately has played a part in our tours.
