Mandurah Cruises
The Dolphin and Scenic Marine Cruise visits the world class Ocean Marina as well as the luxurious homes, with no expense spared, on the Venetian Canals.

Book for an enjoyable cruise
It was quite enjoyable with views of dolphins and boat cruise as well. The customer care was on notch.

Dolphin experience
Friendly staff, boat good but unfortunately didn’t see dolphins until our return to the jetty area. Could have seen these without going on boat itself.
C
Great family fun
Great crew and commentary telling us all about the area and wildlife. Got to see dolphins, pelicans, an osprey and of course, lots of cormorants. We all really enjoyed it.
A
Not worthy
It is basic cruise to see some 3 or 4 dolphins at max that also do not dive for any shots. The scenic view is OK but at this price it is not worth it. Better if the price is at 25AUD , then its fine.

Fantastic experience
Exceeded expectations. Kids had so much fun during school holidays. Really recommend giving it a go.
Operator response

Good
The crew were awesome. Sadly a lot of the guests with children let the children climb all over the railings, scream (i want more dolphins screamed continuously by one child), they were yelling inside, run around and then outside they banged and hit the unused steering wheel on the outside area til it drove most of us insane. It would be a great idea to make the steering wheel outside unavailable as a playground and playtoy. We were hoping to have a closer encounter with dolphins i.e. alongside the boat. But they didnt come near the boat as they were doing what dolphins do and fishing. We did see dolphins closer when we were walking the marina and dolphin wharf. The boat was comfortable, crew great. But it gets pretty crowded when full and noisey with badly behaved kids. I really appreciated the commentary and it was fantastic. We had to move inside as we couldnt hear it outside over the noise of the yelling kids.

Thank you for your review, I understand the excitable children on board must have been quite noisy and do understand your frustration with this however pleased to hear you enjoyed seeing the dolphins and listening to our guides commentary.

A truly wonderful experience !
We recently enjoyed the most wonderful experience with Mandurah Dolphin Cruise and Views and could not recommend them highly enough. From the moment we stepped onboard, the staff were welcoming, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the beautiful waterways of Mandurah. The cruise itself was absolutely stunning, with calm waters, breathtaking scenery, and of course the highlight — seeing the dolphins swimming so naturally and playfully alongside the boat. It was truly wonderful watching them up close in their natural environment. The commentary throughout the cruise was informative and engaging, making the experience both relaxing and interesting. The vessel was comfortable, clean, and perfect for taking in the spectacular views. Whether you are visiting Mandurah for the first time or are a local looking for a memorable day out, this cruise is an absolute must-do. A beautiful experience for couples, families, and visitors of all ages. We will definitely be back again!
