Took my dad (from Ireland, on holiday here) on the dolphin cruise. It was my second time doing it. It was great seeing a dolphin and all the sights around Mandurah

    The boat ride was relaxing, unfortunately google maps told me to go to the marina side of the canals, so I missed the boat, thankfully the staff helped me to get on the arvo and then after that there was no dolphins, but I understand that you can't predict where they are
