    • Please be at the boat by 8.00am sharp. Return time is normally between 11.30am and 2.30pm depending upon dolphin sighting and behaviours.
    •  The return bus (via Penguin Island Visitor Centre) to Perth will depart at 2:30pm sharp and will drop off at the same pick up location.
    • Swim with Wild Dolphins is not permitted for children 6 years or younger as the child needs to be able to follow instructions. 
    • You must wear your bathing suit underneath our wetsuits. Bring a towel and change of clothes for after the dolphin swim (a warm weather proof jacket is a good idea). Comfortable shoes, thongs or sandals are appropriate footwear. There are storage crates underneath your seats on the boat for keeping all your bags and clothes dry.
    • Passengers will need to show their booking confirmation or travel agent voucher onboard the boat and sign a waiver of liability prior to boarding.
    • Feeding the dolphin is not Permitted. Feeding wild dolphins (and most other species of wild animals) results in an increased mortality rate and decrease in reproductive success.
