We took the half day dolphin-spotting cruise in early April and spent a blissful morning's sailing with Peter. Of course, the highlights were the two dolphin pods that we saw: the first, a little way off as we left the harbour and the second, a family group that we encountered off Fraser Island. This latter encounter was quite magical: as... More

My husband and I rececntly visited Hervey bay for a weekend escape! The highlight of our trip was definitely a dolphin tour with Blue Dolphin MarineTours. There was plenty of room to move around so as to get the best vantage point to see beautiful creatures in their natural environment and Peter(our guide) kept us well informed with his wealth... More

Recently returned from a family holiday trip to Hervey Bay. Went on the Blue Dolphin Champagne & Sunset Cruise. WOW ! What an amazing experience. From the moment we stepped foot onto the beautiful, clean, "Blue Dolphin" we were treated like Royality. There was no shortage of Champagne and yummy, abundant nibblies. The Captain was funny, attentive and informative. We... More

Took this one day tour while traveling in Australia. Due to the boat being small it is easy to make your way around and cover all sides trying to spot the whales. The crew was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. The weather was fantastic. And we did see whales for most of that day, but they were feeling lazy, so... More

This trip was incredible - Peter is very knowledgeable about the area and right out of the harbour the first thing we saw was a group of turtles. It just got better and better as the trip went on and the highlight was seeing a pod of 7 or 8 humpback dolphins who let us get close enough to watch... More

We've been out with Peter three times now in as many years and every trip has been fabulous. Always lovely people on board, always something new to see, always something to learn, yet we still get surprised by the close encounter at lunchtime! How do the whales know when you've put your camera down? Looking forward to next year already. More

No elbows/heads etc in pictures its wonderful. As you are low to the water in this vessel you get a whales eye view :-D It almost feels... More
