Why We Love This Unique Experience
Melbourne Experience Gifts: Swim with seals and dolphins during a once in a lifetime Snorkeling Excursion in Port Philip Bay, hosted by qualified local tour guides.
Departing from Sorrento Pier, you’ll cruise out to the beautifully crystal clear waters of the bay, and once you’re fully suited up with wet suits and snorkel gear, you’ll slide into the water to begin your amazing marine wildlife experience. The coastline here is home to pods of playful dolphins, curious fur seals and the colourful, weedy sea dragons that are the marine emblem of Victoria. Listen for the clicks and whistles of dolphin song as a pod approaches, and watch them dart back and forth playfully in the water. You may even see giant mantra rays gliding past majestically. See the adorable whiskers of the shy fur seals and be mesmerised at the sight of the delicate, multicoloured sea dragons drifting along beside you. Warm up with a complimentary snack and hot drink onboard, or if you’re really hungry after your adventure in the water, treat yourself to something more substantial from the boat’s bar.
A Half Day Seal and Dolphin Snorkelling Excursion on the Mornington Peninsula is a magical bucket list experience for animal lovers, and a superb gift idea for special birthdays.
