Great dolphin experience

"Had a fantastic time. The journey on the boat was fantastic. And swimming with the dolphins was an experience we will never forget. We went mid April and with wet suits the water temperature was bearable. But even if you don't get in the dolphins come right up close to the boat. The skipper & his offsider were very informative & professional, and we even got a hot cuppa and home made slice to warm us up after the swim"

A morning with Dolphins, Seals, Eagles and the coastline

"Andrew and Debbie run a fun, friendly and interesting trip which doesn't just focus on the dolphins but they spend a lot of time introducing other wildlife on the coastline and introducing visitors to life on Kangaroo Island. After a bit of a wait (due to some plonker bringing 'bad luck' bananas onboard) we were entertained by 2-3 pods of dolphins and jumped into the water a number of times to take photos and watch the adults and juveniles swimming past. A well run trip with coffee, tea and home made cake. The boat was fast and comfortable and we were blessed with good warm weather. Worth noting that Andrew didn't clock watch and was keen to make sure that we saw the dolphins which were apparently taking their time on this particular day. Thanks both of you for a very special morning which we really enjoyed. Highly recommended for any visitors to this part of the world."

Great day with the dolphins

"This was a wonderful trip. Andrew & Issy were great hosts & leaders, sharing their knowledge in a fun & engaging way. The dolphin swim was done in small groups, with the boat positioned for maximum opportunities for swimming with the dolphins. This is a great tour to do whilst on K.I."

Wow, just wow...highly recommend this company

"We went out with Andrew and Debbie today, and it was magical !!! We spent a long time having multiple dips into the sea to swim with the dolphins. Andrew was very knowledgeable and pointed out various things along the way. We didn't feel at all rushed, and as a party of 5 with ages ranging from 9 to 62, we all had a fabulous trip and would highly recommend this company. The honey and oat cake made by Debbie was a very welcome snack with a hot cup of tea. Thank you both. We have some fantastic footage and memories to last a life time."

Free swimming with wild dolphins - most amazing experience ever!

"Absolutely awesome! This is one of the best experiences I have ever done, either in Australia or overseas, and I have done some fabulous ones! I can't recommend this enough - on a good day. So much is dependent on the weather, the water clarity and the cooperation of wild animals! We were fortunate to luck a beautiful, hot sunny day. The water was still a little cloudy from a swell the day before but it was fairly good, better in the shallower spots. After a slow start with only 2-3 dolphins during the first couple of swims/turns in the water, more dolphins joined the pod and (safety in numbers) the dolphins became more curious and willing to swim around you rather than past you. During my best turn in the water, I found myself free swimming in the middle of a group of 12-14 wild dolphins (including a few young calves), all swimming on either side of me and below me. I literally felt like I was a part of the pod! It was amazing! I have done another wonderful dolphin swim experience in Australia before, but this was better because you are free swimming, not holding on to a rope on a boat. Andrew and Izzy were wonderful hosts, very helpful, informative and friendly. The honey slice was delicious! Can't recommend this enough! Hope we will be back to do it again some time."
