A truly remarkable experience and event you must try and partake in.
with a friendly professional crew, swimming with the Dolphins and seals is the ideal thing for you to do.
What a great way, to see and do things in the bay!

I recommend anyone to take this wonderful opportunity to interact with these unique creatures. The tour staff very proffesional, friendly and accommodating.
Dolphins, seals and the diving experience when shared with some friend who had oversea visitors put it down as the highlight of their trip.
Go on give it a go I say !

I would love nothing more than to swim with the dolphins as I have been told it is very theraputic and a fantastic experience. I also love the area of Queenscliff where I have read you can experience this thrill.It would be something I could tell my grandchildren or perhaps take them along with me on the day.

Simply THE BEST day I’ve ever had! Swimming with wild dolphins and seals is nothing short of an amazing experience and one I’ll never forget. The friendly crew at Sea All Dolphin Swims- Queenscliff are incredible! It’s awesome!

Swimming with the Seals was a fun enough experience, then we found the dolphins, having these magnificent creatures swimming right towards me and all around is an unforgettable adventure, at one stage I turned my head and startled a dolphin that had been floating beside me, one even touched my sisters foot. To be so close to wild animals is a truly amazing experience that I have recommended to everyone.

We had a wonderful day with Queenscliffe Dolphin Swims. The crew was fantastic, all very helpful and a great sense of humour. The wetsuits and other gear were in great order, very clean and half the fun was trying to get them on. There was a group of 14 of us and every person had a ball. We will definately be going again.

Sea All Dolphin Swim in Queenscliff was awesome. The crew/owners were very knowledgeable, patient instructors and a lot of fun. After spending 10 days in Melbourne, this weekend was the highlight of the whole trip. I would encourage everyone to take this tour. If you do not want to get in the water, just ride along. You will be thrilled to see the dolphins and the seals. Queenscliff has a beautiful Inn to stay at and the main street is charming.

Sea All Dolphin Swims
Boat leaves from Queenscliff where you are taken out to a marine park shown how to snorkel if you don’t know how to do so already, then taken to where the seals are for an amazing experience of swimming with and around them, then taken on the search for dolphins which you also get to swim with if they are about . Even if you don’t have the opportunity to swim with the dolphins its a wonderful experience.

For locals and visitors alike, a day on the Sea All boat with the friendly crew has to be a highlight of any holiday. To be able to swim in wonderful clear water, observe breeding gannets closely at Pope’s eye as well as seeing all the surprises under the water, then playing in the sea with friendly seals at Chinaman’s hat and hanging off a rope behind the boat as dolphins swerve and duck around you, these experiences are unique and make me so grateful that I live here, beside this wonderful bay which brings me so close to nature. A Sea All cruise is not to be missed.

Ecologically sound and internationally renowned, Polperro Dolphin Swims offers the marine adventure of a lifetime. Polperro is a Hall of Fame Victorian Tourism Awards Winner for Environmental Tourism and the tours have earned a reputation as exciting, responsible and safe experiences that provide the unique opportunity to swim with the wild bottlenose dolphins of Port Phillip Bay. The intention is to highlight the presence of these majestic mammals to ensure their protection as well as the preservation of their marine environment.

Join us on a marine adventure of a lifetime. Snorkel with very cheeky Fur Seals, explore untouched marine parks filled with amazing colorful fish, and swim with wild bottlenose Dolphins. Cruises are in the sheltered shallows of Port Phillip Bay. Just off the coast of beautiful Mornington Peninsula. Whether you choose to swim with the seals and dolphins or just observe them from the comfort of the boat, you will never forget this amazing experience.

This is with out a doubt the most amazing thing I have done in my life. Swimming with the wild bottenose Dolphins, and visiting the Australian Fur Seals in their natural environment was also an amazing experience. Thanks so much see you again soon.

We really enjoyed the experience of swiming with dolphins. We would do the trip every time we had a holiday in Melbourne if we could. The people who took us out on the boat where very friendly and gave you lots of help if you where any way nervous. Such a memory to have!!

Just the interaction and reaction of my grandaughter with my daugher in the water in a total natural environment. The communication with skuba masks on was so entertaining and yet so warming. The total experience for all of us was just a must you have to do in one’s lifetime. My family havent stopped talking about it with their friends in the UK . So you better expect a influx next season from the UK.

To swim with the dolphins has been a long held desire of mine. These majestic and magical animals would be an absolute delight to interact with in their natural habitat, freely choosing to approach us in their domain. It will certainly be must-do before I get too old to really appreciate it.

The qualifications of the team at Sea All are remarkable! The crew cater for all levels from non-swimmers to the more advanced snorkelers. Their knowledge of marine life and the history of the area are very impressive. Their passion for conservation and care for the environment is evident in all the staff. I would highly recommend anyone to part take in one of their tours!

This was real value for money. The crew (one a student of Marine biology) kept us entertained with the most amazing facts about the sea creatures, birds and plant life. Not only did we swim with the seals at Popes eye but also snorkelled amidst the coral, swam with the dolphins, had a great dive off the top of the boat and even got to have a ’sea-spa’ on the way home. Will never forget this great experience.

What a fantastic experience! See-all Dolphin Swims are a fun, friendly and professional crew who provide an unforgettable experience. I learnt heaps about our local environment and had an awesome, up-close encounter with the beautiful seals and dolphins that live in our bay.

Not only do you get to see the unbelievable beauty of our very little known “Pt Phillip Bay” with Seals, Dolphins, Bird life, sea views to die for and several stunning marine parks but the crew actually enjoy looking after you. They go out of their way to see that all are looked after regardless of who you are, they’re professional and fun is a large part of their successful recipe.(Lets face it, there are thousands of tours we can all do these days) but if you want to have a unique marine experience in or out of the water, where you are treated as a real guest not some punter as any of us are these days “Sea - All dolphin Swims ” is for you
See You in the “DRINK”

Three and a half million people living around the bay - and most of them have no idea what’s on their very doorstep. Pods of dolphins, seals that you can swim with, National Parks under the ocean filled with sea life of all shapes, sizes and descriptions… There’s no team better qualified to deal with this than the guys at Sea-All - they’re friendly and fun, yet professional and no one’s better equipped to introduce people to the water, even if you’ve never swum a stroke in your life. Unforgettable.

The experience with Sea-all Dolphin Swims is absolutely amazing. The family business has the kindest and most knowledgeable staff I’ve ever met, and the premise behind the business of eco-tourism, conservation and care for the environment is to be applauded. Plus we had the most fun we have had on the bay. Highly recommended
