Port Stephens Dolphin Swim -Dolphins everywhere!
The trademark swim with dolphins program AMVE (Aquatic marine viewing experience) had another successful morning at Port Stephens.
Observing our catamaran enroute the pod immediately raced to our bows, criss-crossing and rolling as they looked up at our very excited faces. Captain Frank Future pulled up and allowed the dolphins to move away to the mandatory distances. They knew something was up because as soon as we hit the water there were dolphins swimming all around us.
Our vessel, a large cat has two bows and dozens of dolphins took turns coming over to us, rolling on their sides and filling our ears with their high pitched ultra-sonic communications. Today there were three to four main pods of many hundreds of dolphins swimming and fishing in the clear waters. One family group came in time and again, we were able to identify this group by one females distinct dorsal fin that had a sizable piece missing.
Our people all had three to four sessions on the bow rope, gliding in and with the pods. Smiles and laughter filled the air. Aquatic marine viewing experience BOOK NOW or follow this link to reserve your place.

Do you want to swim with Dolphins?
I’ve been asking people that question for years. Traveling the world, visiting many places that offer ‘dolphin swim’ programs left me scratching my head. There must be a better way!
For us it was right under our noses, we have been doing it for six (6) years!
The Aquatic Marine Viewing Experience™ is unique.
Commencing 4th & 5th October you can swim with wild Dolphins allowing complete integrity for the Dolphins while you participate in the most amazing and exciting experience of swimming with dolphins.
Imagine entering into the clear waters offshore in Port Stephens blue water wonderland.
As you enter, you’re aware of the water filled with a matrix of sonic communication, as dozens of Pacific Common Dolphins fish and play in the distance.
You feel their sonar probing you as you slip into position on the bow. You smile as the excitement of a close encounter with one of the most amazing being on this planet appears imminent.
Gently you move forward with the boat, within moments you are surrounded by the cheeky and playful commons as they roll and play, crisscrossing the twin hulls of our ocean cat.
This is the AMVE! This is a close encounter of the most wonderful kind.
I invite you to come and share this experience. BOOK NOW to reserve your place.
Maximum 20 swimmers per trip. Observers welcome Saturday and Sunday mornings early. The weathers warming up fast what are you waiting for?
