The Dolphin Explorer takes your for a river cruise in the area where the Port River Dolphins live and feed. Although seeing a dolphin cannot be guaranteed as they are living in the wild, it is highly likely that you see them close to the boat.

There is a man made breakwater just off the beach and seals and dolphins regularly visit the area to feed. Worth a look but do not try to swim or walk over to it as the tide is very fast and can be dangerous.
