Blue Dolphin Marine Tours

With over 40 years experience in the field, Blue Dolphin Marine Tours provide an insider's guide to one of the friendliest marine mammals in Queensland's waters; dolphins. Aboard a comfortable multi award-winning sailing vessel they will take you right to the spot where they enable you to watch pods of the Bottlenose and Australian Humpbacks dolphins, as they play along the coast of the Great Sandy Straits. These magnificent marine creatures will take your breath away as you get up close and personal with them in their own environment, creating a memory that will last forever.

Blue Dolphins Marine Tour's dolphin tour has been going for over 25 years with a 95 per cent success rate in finding dolphins each time! The tour lasts approximately four hours and morning tea is provided. In the summer, weather permitting, there is often the opportunity to take a swim near one of the shallow sand banks or try out the boom net.

In addition to finding dolphins on their tour, you may also spot turtles, dugongs, seabirds and other marine life.

Be one of the few, not the many, to experience their award-winning exclusive full day whale watch (mid July to late October).

For an up close and personal experience that you will never forget, see the magnificent humpback whale from the uncrowded deck of Blue Dolphin. As one of the smallest vessels and a luxury sailing catamaran, you will experience the trip of a lifetime. See the whales eye to eye and listen as your skipper shares his 35 years of experience working with marine mammals. A whale immersive platform for those who wish to see a whale eye to eye underwater.

Carrying a maximum of 24 people, your day on Blue Dolphin will be an intimate and personal tour. Take your time, slow down and take an enjoyable day to see the whales. The Blue Dolphin is a modern luxury 38 foot sailing catamaran, offering wide flat decks and room for all to see. WiFi available and hydrophone onboard.

The full day tour includes morning tea, lunch (with a drink included), and afternoon tea. Eco-adventure and Sunset Sails operate outside of the whale season. Their quality and experience sets them apart from the rest.

Pink Queensland skies, the crystal clear azure waters of Hervey Bay, and a cold glass of bubbles in your hand – it doesn’t get much better than this!

So sit back and relax on their luxury yacht whilst they take you on the cruise of a lifetime, allowing you to soak up the panoramic views of the skyline as the sun sets, casting shadows of amber and gold on the Great Sandy Strait as the warm night invites the stars out to play. A tropical paradise? You bet! It’s the perfect setting for a special evening.

Sailing for 90 minutes around Hervey Bay and Fraser Island, drinks are all-inclusive (champagne, beer, wine, soft drinks) as is a delicious finger food platter for all, allowing you to just relax and unwind. There can be no better way to start the evening!
