Dolphin Swim Australia#JoinThePod
Wild Dolphin Swim
Snorkel with oceanic dolphins off the coast of beautiful Port Stephens! The dolphins are completely wild and free and each swim is dependent upon them choosing to be near our in-water guests!
Are you looking for an unforgettable, bucket list adventure?
Our wild dolphin swim tours offer the thrill of a lifetime! Come and see the dolphins on their terms and move along with them in the water - it's just like being a part of the pod!

Only a 2.5 hour drive north of Sydney
Dolphin Swim Australia offers the only permitted wild dolphin swim in NSW and the first swim of its kind in the world! Tours operate out of Port Stephens - the dolphin capital of Australia - which is a little touch of Paradise on the East Coast. With 26 beaches and only 2.5 hours north of Sydney, it is the perfect location for a weekend getaway!

What We Offer

Wild Dolphin Swim
You will be fully immersed and gently pulled through the water, while safely harnessed at the front of our boat, between the two catamaran hulls. The dolphins love to play and choose to swim with you up close! It is the most interactive and safest way to swim with dolphins as they are constantly moving with us. This is how we have long, magical experiences of being ‘part of the pod’.

Dolphin Watch
Our amazing dolphin watch option brings you as close to the dolphins as possible without getting wet! Stay dry and be thrilled while watching dolphins swim and interact with humans in the wild! As these are oceanic dolphins, they are far more interactive than the dolphins you may normally see from shore. These dolphins don't see humans as often, and love to show off! This is why we consider this the best dolphin watch you can do!

I SWAM WITH WILD DOLPHINS ON THE WEEKEND!!
Absolutely amazing experience thanks to the Dolphin Swim Australia!
Have done many dolphin cruises before but THIS was... read more unforgettable experience. The crew were amazing and so helpful as they wanted to ensure everyone had the time of their life. We got lucky with the weather and these beautiful creatures were keen to put on a hell of a show!
Anyone thinking of heading up next season please reconsider the usual boring cruises and join Adam and his rad team for a much more intimate and enjoyable experience.
4/18/2022I have to recommend the observer package as a stellar dolphin watch option in the area. I've done a lot of different dolphin watches, including in Port Stephens, and I... read more thought this was both excellent value and really special. The staff are persistent about finding dolphins who are willing to be engaged and stick around playing, and since this process can take some time and you're out there for a while, the result is that you just see a ton of different dolphins at varying distances, often right at the bow.
I went on my honeymoon and loved it. My partner and I saw two different species, some dolphin calves, and multiple pods. It's also just a really lovely morning boating trip; unlike the other dolphin watches I've been on in the area, you go further out into the open waters of the marine park.
The staff are really friendly and VERY energetic. I felt looked after, and I believe that the swimmers were taken pretty good care of and that the staff did a great job making sure all the groups got a worthwhile swim after an initial disappointment. We'll be back 🙂
3/27/2022It was a great morning in perfect weather, low seas with lots of dolphins. The crew are such a well trained team, enthusiastic and extremely helpful.... read more They have a great system for ensuring safety and maximising the whole experience. The dolphin Swim team and Frank the captain of Imagine work perfectly together. With such an early start it is so thoughtful to provide breakfast on the way out of the bay . We had time for two swims each with the plenty dolphins visible and also the joy of observing them while the others had their turns. It was such a happy day with a happy joyful team. It is great that the package includes photographs and a video of the day. So much planning has gone in to make this an experience to remember. I certainly will plan to go again! Thank you everyone
