Swim and snorkel with wild dolphins and seals and see some of Kangaroo Island's stunning coastline! Arrive at Christmas Cove Marina in Penneshaw where you will be fitted into a wetsuit, mask, snorkel, and flippers and provided with a safety briefing. Then jump on board the vessel in search of the marine life that inhabits the incredible coastline.
 

Spot the cheeky seals lounging on the rocks or playing in the water. Then dive in with them! These curious seals can be quite interactive and playful and are super fun to snorkel with! This tour is the only operator in South Australia that provides the opportunity to swim with the long-nosed seals. The tour will help you spot dolphin pods that live in the coastal waters. If they're feeling playful, you'll also be able to swim alongside them in the wild. A swimmer line with buoys is often used at the back of the vessel for the dolphin swim so you have something to hold onto. Your friendly tour guide will provide informative commentary along the way. This is a truly unforgettable wildlife encounter!
 

If you're not into snorkeling, join the tour as a view only experience! You can still enjoy watching dolphins and seals play in the water. The boat ride itself is incredible. Travel along the beautiful coastline and enjoy the informative commentary from your guide. Don't forget your camera so that you can snap a pic of the seals sunbathing on the rocks. They usually like to play with the swimmers in the water while the dolphins like to ride the waves alongside the vessel. You'll also have the opportunity to spot an abundance of birdlife including eagles, gulls, and cormorants. This is a great family activity to do on Kangaroo Island and a once in a lifetime wildlife experience!

Please bring a warm jacket! There will be waterproof jackets on board, but you can put your warm jacket over the top when getting out the water.
