We had a wonderful time with Mandurah Cruises—it was such a relaxing and enjoyable experience for the whole family. The cruise itself was smooth and very scenic. We loved cruising through the canals and seeing the beautiful waterfront homes. The highlight for us was definitely spotting dolphins swimming nearby—it made the trip extra special, especially for the kids. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was calm and not crowded, which made it even more enjoyable. It’s a perfect activity if you just want to unwind and take in the views. Overall, it’s a great experience and highly recommended for families, visitors, or anyone looking for a peaceful getaway close to Perth. We would definitely do it again and recommend to our friends! 😊 And to top it all off, we grabbed some buy 1 get 1 churros after the cruise 😋—such a fun little treat that made the day even sweeter!

Enjoyed an amazing cruise in Mandurah 🐬✨ Got to see so many dolphins—it’s mating season, so they were everywhere, playing and enjoying themselves. Truly a beautiful experience

Had good view of Dolphins. Nothing wrong with cruise. However there was bunch of people who were soooo noisy. They didn't care about other passengers and was only taking photos while making big noises. We couldn't hear anything guide was saying because of these people. It is better to avoid people with prams as these children wouldn't enjoy this cruise anyway. Also better to advise people to respect others

This was a last minute decision for us - but we are so glad we did! This cruise was incredible. We didn't just see one Dolphin in the distance, we saw heaps, right up close next to the boat. Was a fantastic day!

This was by far the best dolphin cruise we've been on. We'd only just set off and we could see the dolphins! The grandkids really enjoyed it especially when they were swimming at the bow!!
