Enjoy your experience! ----- With over 35 years of experience in the field, this cruise provides an insider's guide to one of the friendliest marine mammals in Queensland's waters dolphins. Aboard a comfortable multi award-winning sailing vessel, the crew will take you right to the spot where the dolphins are. This enables you to watch pods of the bottlenose dolphins (aduncas) and Australian humpback dolphins (Sousa sahulensis) as they play along the coast of the Great Sandy Straits. These magnificent marine creatures will take your breath away as you get up close and personal with them in their own environment, creating memories that will last forever. The bottlenose dolphin is the better known of the two species, and there are now about 25 individuals the crew can recognise by their dorsal fin. They've been working on a photo ID catalogue for the last couple of years. Meanwhile, the Australian humpback dolphin is smaller, a little harder to find and photographing them can be a difficult task but can be well worth it. Most guests have never seen this species before, so it is always a good day when you see them. In addition to finding dolphins on the tour, you may also spot turtles, dugongs, seabirds and other marine life. Finally, the vessel itself is a luxurious 11.6m catamaran, with expansive decks and plenty of undercover seating. There's a full walk-in bathroom, 240v power, wifi-enabled, hydrophone so you can listen to the dolphins communicating with each other.
