Ecologically sound and internationally renowned, Polperro Dolphin Swims is a Hall of Fame - Environmental Tourism multi-award winning tour operation that offers people the opportunity to observe and swim with wild bottlenose dolphins in Port Phillip Bay.

Our tours have earned a reputation as exciting, responsible and safe experiences with passenger safety and the dolphins’ protection as paramount importance. We purposely limit the size of our trips to guarantee a high standard of customer and environmental care.

Wetsuits, masks and snorkels are provided. Reef and seal swims are a regular part of our trips, so be prepared to see and experience much more than just dolphins.

Polperro, a fully crewed vessel of highly trained and experienced staff and divemasters offers a wide range of other services including bay cruises, educational and historical tours, fully catered charters or a trip of your own personal design.

A galley provides refreshments between swims, serving hot scones, tea, coffee and hot chocolate. Trips depart daily from Sorrento, a picturesque, historic township on the Mornington Peninsula, from October to April inclusively. Onboard facilities include change-rooms and toilet.
