Long-Nosed Fur Seals are back 💙💙🦭

We have missed them over the past couple of months whilst they were breeding in the summer forming large harems to mate and raise pups.

We have been lucky enough to spot them again during our Wild Dolphin tour as they have ventured back out to sea to forage and rest up on the rocks along our metropolitan coastline around our key dolphin hotspot areas

There’s nothing better than seeing 3 different marine mammals during our Wild Dolphin Tour 🦭🐬🐬

We hope you enjoy these pictures!

Wild Dolphin Tour highlights 🐬🙌

The past couple weeks have been beautiful weather wise, this week especially, feeling like summer again 💙

These past 2 weeks we have been spending lots of time with mothers and calves from both species in nursery pods. Also, a couple very special encounters with our ID dolphins, such as Lizzy breastfeeding her adopted calf whilst bow riding and an appearance from Starboard today who we haven’t seen in a long time! Of course we have to mention the very exciting return of a couple Long-Nosed fur seals resting on the rocks and frolicking in the water after being away for their breeding season 🦭

The next couple days are looking beautiful with limit remaining spots, get in quick and join us for all the wildlife action on Temptation ⛵️

We hope you enjoy these pictures!

Happy National Dolphin Day 🐬🐬🐬

National Dolphin Day is an annual celebration dedicated to raising awareness about dolphin conservation, protecting their habitats, and appreciating their intelligence. We wouldn’t be the same Temptation sailing without these incredible dolphin species and our dedication to respect, passion, and education surrounding this amazing marine mammal.

Here are some photos of the short-beaked common dolphins we spent our morning with during the Wild Dolphin Tour!

We were lucky enough to swim with and watch two separate pods. The first pod included a mother and calf around 5 months old. The second pod had a mother and neonatal calf that we were able to spot from a distance. How special is that!! Two tiny babies in one morning

We hope you enjoy these photos 🫶🐬⛵️

We whipped out the 360 camera to capture the swim & watch in action on our Wild Dolphin Tour. Spend a minute with us including interpretations with our marine biologist crew 🐬🫶

Here we had a very cheeky large pod displaying lots of courtship behaviour such as biting, vocalisations and acrobatic displays. At one point you can see two individuals biting each other on the face almost simulating kissing 😂 and one particular male doing lots of biting attempting to get access to a female to mate with by making her roll over.… what a wild experience for our guests. We look forward to meeting those little calves in 12 months time 🐬

You can also see some unique fin ID’s in this pod along with some new damage on one of the males dorsal fins. This is useful for us to capture as we use fin ID as a means to track and research our metropolitan population.

For all of our tours you will have 4 Marine Biologists guides who spend their day ensuring you have an incredible time learning about and ethically interacting with our Indo-Pacific Bottlenose dolphins.

We look forward to welcoming you aboard! Book now via our website 💙🐬🤿⛵️
