Dolphin Swim

Welcome on board Sunset Charters luxury catamaran for a Dolphin swim experience in style. Sail right out into the heart of beautiful Coffin Bay to the home of our resident Burrunan Dolphins and get up close and personal in the water with these beautiful creatures. 

Not keen to get wet, don't worry you can also book on this tour as a Dolphin Watch passenger and view all the action from the deck as these playful creatures frolic right under your feet.  

Once on board you will sail straight out of the harbour on a five hour Dolphin Swim expedition. Transit to the Dolphin Swim area is a scenic 3 hour return trip through the most beautiful part of the sheltered waterways of Coffin Bay. Once at the swim area we will get you in the water to experience these playful creatures. We offer two swimming options; our swim net out the front of the boat and our mermaid tow lines at the back of the boat. Swimmers will be rotated through both experiences.

We interact with wild Dolphins in their natural environment, we do not pursue, feed or train them. Any interaction with the Dolphins is on their terms and for their enjoyment. Interactions may vary between trips depending on their level of interest and curiosity on the day. 

We will take care of all the finer details and keep you well fed, watered and comfortable.
