DOLPHIN WATCH ECO-CRUISE

The Dolphin Eco Cruises are operated by A.B.Sea Charters an extremely experienced and friendly operator. This is a one and a half hour cruise (approximately)  within Koombana Bay. This experience will give you an amazing insight into the wonderful world of dolphins. The vessel provides an excellant viewing platform designed to get you as close as possible to the dolphins without getting your feet wet!
