Amazing experience to swim with Wild Dolphins and witness them in the ocean! The whole team and crew were very friendly, helpful, informative and ensure safety first. Thanks again Adam for assisting to slot us in, really do appreciate it. Highly recommended :)

This was a last minute booking for me but thank the universe I did. I booked as a spectator spot whilst my friends booked the swim and both options were worth every dollar. An extremely immersive experience for anyone on board whether you are swimming or just watching. We were lucky to come across a maternal pod on our day so we got to see easily over a hundred dolphins… I’ve never experienced anything like it. On top of the wildlife turning it on for us, the staff lifted the experience to 10/10. Extremely kind, attentive at every moment and most of all you can tell they really LOVE what they do. The energy of the day was so palpable I actually became emotional. Thank you to the team for sharing this incredible experience with the world. We are so lucky. Will probably be back for the swim option now.

Saw some big oceanic bottlenose dolphins then a pod of 50-100 commons we were looking for.
Amazing how interested in the humans the dolphins are. They come super close. When the swimmers hop out the dolphins lost interest until people jumped in again and the dolphins jumped back o to the bow wave.
We got 4 swims of 5-10 minutes which seemed like good value for money.
Crew were fantastic, very helpful and enthusiastic. Special shout out to skipper Rob who did a great job keeping us tight on the pod.

My partner and I took part in this amazing experience, and it was one of the most incredible adventures we've ever had.
The team was truly exceptional-highly skilled, passionate about their work, and deeply respectful of nature and wild dolphins. Their enthusiasm and love for what they do made the experience even more special.
Everything was perfectly organized, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the moment. A huge thank you to the entire team for their kindness and enthusiasm.
Highly, highly recommended!

Had a wonderful time there today for my mums birthday, the staff were amazing and of course, so were the Dolphins. Never seen so many in my life and it was a beautiful experience! I highly recommend DSA, couldn’t have picked a better group of people to show us the ropes and to teach us about all things marine! Perfect! Will definitely have to go again!

I had the most amazing experience swimming with dolphins! From start to finish, everything was perfect. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, making sure everyone felt comfortable and safe.
The dolphins were absolutely incredible! So intelligent, playful, and gentle. Getting up close with them, swimming alongside them was definitely a bucket list experience.
I can’t recommend this enough! If you’re looking for a magical and unforgettable adventure, this is definitely it. Thank you to the amazing team for making this such a special experience!

This is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity- an ETHICAL and environmentally friendly dolphin swim.
My partner and I had the most magical time thanks to Adam and crew. Even though we didn’t have any luck with the dolphins first time around, Adam managed to squeeze us in to the next day’s tour.
Matt (I hope that was his name!) had so much enthusiasm and excitement about the dolphins and that made the early morning so entertaining, while we waited for the dolphins to come out to play.
If you have any doubts about going on this tour: DO IT.
Even if you think it is pricey, think about what you get for the money- you get to go on a clean, safe catamaran, run by an excellent enthusiastic boat crew who have no hesitation in helping with all things dolphin, AS WELL AS the wonderful DSA team, who are the most dolphin enthusiastic people you’ll ever meet and who obviously adore their jobs. You are paying for amazing customer service, a continental breakfast and mimosas, and you get to swim with dolphins who are in their natural habitat, without any coercion or force. You also get photos and a video to remember it with- although I definitely recommend bringing your own go pro/ underwater camera for more personal footage.
After your safety, their first priority is the dolphins- they even have a marine specialist on board to monitor the dolphins’ behaviour and ensure they are happy. You can ask them as many questions as you have! Dr. Dave, part of the DSA team, was excellent with answering all of our questions.
Adam and team, thank you again, for a magical, once in a lifetime experience.

Absolutely unbelievably amazing experience!!! The staff were all so knowledgeable, friendly and great fun! Swimming with the dolphins was such an amazing and unique experience, I highly recommend to everyone. The boat was comfortable and had toilets and we were given breakfast and mimosas. We were given the opportunity to swim more than once with the dolphins who were so playful and close by. Really recommend to anyone! 🐬

Despite inclement weather, dolphins out in great numbers! Had a blast swimming just metres away from these magnificent mammals. Highly recommend Dolphin Swim Australia. One of the highlights of our Nelson Bay getaway.

My family and I went on the Dolphin swim tour on New Years Eve and was blown away with how amazing it was. Soooo worth the money and can’t explain how breathtaking being so close to these beautiful animals was. The team on board were incredible, so helpful, informative, and professional. My daughter is 10 and I was hesitant she would back out but the whole team were so encouraging she was a little mermaid and loved it. Thank you so much for such a fantastic end to 2024. Will do it again for sure

Amazing crew of absolute frothers who are genuinely passionate about marine conservation and offering a world class experience.

WOW! A must-do! We had a absolutely wonderful trip with a very lovely crew. They took care of us very well and made this experience even better! They even prepared snacks and we got some Mimosas after swim. So lovely!
After passenger swim the crew went in. They were as happy as we were, which underlined their passion.
It may take some courage at first, but absolutely worth it. You are secured underneath the boat and swim along with the dolphins. Crew is always at your side and cheering the whole group. It‘s the most natural experience you can get with dolphins.
Looking forward to see the photos the crew took and will send to us.

The team was nice and the staff to participants was good. They were organised and rotated with the groups, but I am very disappointed that when I received the photos there were none of me there. I understood this was part of the package.
For $354 I expected photos and videos.
When I enquired, I was told they don’t offer videos and photos with the dolphins.
False advertising and not good value for money.
I had a lovely experience in two short bursts holding onto the rope but was disappointed with the price and lack of photos and videos of myself.

Had the most amazing experience last week on the wild dolphin swim. Got to see hundreds of dolphins before our eyes and see there interactions under the water. Would go back again and again to do this experience, even just to see them from the boat was unbelievable. The team onboard went above and beyond for us and helped rearrange dates when needed. Highly recommend!

Also a huge thank you to the staff. Every single one of them is lovely, friendly, positive and clearly adores their job. Truly one of the best run tourism businesses I think I’ve ever seen. Food and drinks were a nice touch. Plenty of swimming time with around 100 dolphins
A day my wife and I will remember forever. Thank you to everyone for making it so memorable

We had a fantastic experience swimming with wild dolphins. The team were amazing and explained how everything worked. Their enthusiasm was awesome. A big thank you to the whole team who made it so much fun! We had perfect conditions and superb visibility! Highly recommend! We also loved the fact that the experts on board only put you in the water if the dolphins are happy and interactive. We learnt a lot too!

My 8 yr old daughter and I joined the Dolphin swim on Sunday. The staff were amazing and Adam really took care of my daughter while she was in the water.
They really do their best to make sure you get the most of your swim/s, while still respecting the dolphins if they want their space.
I loved how the staff still get so excited with the dolphins. You can really tell they're passionate about what they do, and want to share their amazing experiences with whoever joins them.
My 5yr old son was a bit cut he wasn't old enough to swim, so has requested it for his 7th birthday ???? So we'll be back!

It is a great way to spend a morning- I love seeing the dolphins underwater as they swim just ahead of the boat and cross in front. The enthusiastic and extremely well trained team ensure we are safe and facilitate the experience in the water. Conditions were fantastic for last weeks dolphin swim and after checking the dates and next week's sea conditions I've booked again. Looking forward to it.

An incredible once in a lifetime experience
Our first tour, me and my partner didn’t manage to get a swim in because the dolphins took off just before our swim - they are wild after all!! It was still incredible to see them from the boat. We were offered a free return, which is so appreciated- not everyone does this! We were due to try again the following day, but due to bad weather the trip was cancelled. This was a GOOD THING! We’ve had so many other trips where they push through and the experience is not what you paid for. This company truly cares. They want the best for everyone involved and it shows.
We headed back to Sydney & tried again a month later and we truly had the most fantastic morning. We were put in the first swim group and we all got 3 swims each. The dolphins are so curious and playful and we were lucky to see a super pod (approx 1000 dolphins!!)
What really makes the trip is the crew - they are absolutely incredible. We can’t thank them enough - they are so passionate about the dolphins, they are incredibly attentive with the swimmers - it was quite a surprise even to a strong swimmer how powerful the water was, but we felt completely looked after the entire time and able to completely immerse ourselves in the experience without any worries
I’d return in a heartbeat and recommend it to anyone considering. Best day ever!

The most amazing experience would recommend to everyone! We had such an amazing day the crew are so helpful and fun - thank you to Adam, Shannon, Joel and Dave for making our day so special! Everyone is so knowledgeable about dolphins and happy to answer any questions you might have! You can tell they all really care about the animals and not just about making money.
We got the amazing opportunity to swim with a big pod of dolphins and it’s the most surreal experience. The whole time in the water you feel safe and supported by the crew.
It is so great to know the dolphins have chosen to swim with you and can leave anytime they want. Even after your swim with them it is still a beautiful to watch them from the boat.
Afterwards we had a lovely breakfast, great selection and spread! Mimosas too for the journey back!
Was one of the best things I have ever done and would recommended to anyone to do this tour - I can’t wait to hopefully come back again some time! I can’t thank the crew enough for the great experience we had!

We just had an amazing swim with wild dolphins courtesy of Adam and his friendly crew at Dolphin Swim. They were very attentive, plenty of information and safety briefings. Swimming under the boat with the dolphins was incredible and the whole team is so enthusiastic.
Adam say they usually find wild bottle nose dolphins to swim with 95% of the time

I can't believe I've been able to overcome seasickness, be completely immersed in the vast deep ocean, and swim with the dolphins! What a journey! If I've done it, everyone can do it.... I loved in particular seeing the mummy and baby dolphin swimming together. What a highlight! Thanks guys for your passion and dedication. And thank you wild dolphins for your curiosity and playfulness!

Must do experience when in/around Sydney! Most amazing tour with a crazy encounter with wild dolphins and your chance to get super close to them! This was my second time on this tour as the first time the dolphins took off before I had a chance to swim with them, so I was offered to come back for free. Even just watching them playing and swimming around the boat is very entertaining but if you get a chance to watch them underwater it´s just unreal! On top the team is most lovely and friendly and is really looking after everyone and their needs, exceptional service! Ellie and Adam are such sweethearts and have build a great buisness, best of luck!

Absolutely incredible experience run by an amazing team. They are all so passionate about and caring towards both the dolphins and their excursion participants. I had been waiting to do this for over a year after following them on Instagram and the swim exceeded expectations.
Whether you are actually doing the swim or just on the boat to watch, it is a worthwhile experience. If you’re on the fence — don’t be! Just book it.

What an absolutely amazing day!
We flew up from Melbourne and were definitely not disappointed.
Everything from the greeting of the energetic, friendly staff to the boat trip and then the swim. We were lucky enough to find several pods of dolphins, over 100 in total. Felt totally safe and in fantastic hands every step of the way. Can’t thank Adam and his team for memories my wife and I will never forget.

Absolutely the best experience ever! Highly highly recommend this. Adam and his team go above and beyond to ensure the dolphin swim is safe, memorable and exciting. We had 3 generations do this dolphin swim and it will be a memory we will treasure always. I am bringing the rest of the family for sure to experience this wonderful eco tour. It’s great to be able to interact with wild dolphins and know that they are not being forced or trained they just want to come up to you and play.

A once in a lifetime, exhilarating, truly awesome experience. The whole team make you feel welcome, and every one of them are super helpful. The whole process is streamlined and highly organised. Every single person is highly skilled, knowledgeable, and outstanding at their job. I highly recommend this activity. I definitely want to do this again after I gain a little more snorkelling experience. I had zero experience and that was my only disappointment in myself. I know I would've enjoyed it much more if I had a little idea of what it is like to wear a mask and breathe through a snorkle underwater for an extended period. Thanks so much to everyone involved in Dolphin Swim Australia. You are all doing a fantastic job!! Absolutely awesome!! Thank you!!!

We got to have a few turns swimming with the dolphins which was amazing and I honestly felt like I was dreaming with the dolphins swimming all around us! I love how it was truly up the the dolphins if they wanted to come to us and the staff had people on the boat making sure they weren’t getting stressed and did want to be interacting with us.
It felt very very safe, with only a small number of people in the water at a time and the staff constantly watching us and making sure we were ok as well as helping us in and out of the water.
The staff were incredible, so so friendly and truly wanting us to have an amazing time!
We loved every single second and have so many incredible memories! Will absolutely return when we are back this way!

The first day of the season was outstanding in every aspect. Our family of 5, with 3 teens, loved every minute. Adam & his whole team were friendly, fun, professional & sensitively attuned to people's needs in the water to ensure they felt safe & had the best experience. Their combined local knowledge & experience enriched the tour. The extra highlight was getting close to not only dolphins, but humpbacks & their calves & a seal...& the homemade slice was delish! We highly recommend Dolphin Swim Australia.

I highly recommend DSA to anyone. The concept of swimming with dolphins in their natural habitat rather than in captivity is truly remarkable. The entire crew contributes to the overall enjoyment of the experience. While it would be nice to have more dolphins around, the fact that the crew ensured we had the opportunity to swim alongside them even after a couple of attempts speaks volumes. A heartfelt thank you to Adam, Ellie, and the entire crew for creating such a memorable experience! ????????
