About This Tour
The Ballina & Byron Bay coast plays host to hundreds of bottle nose dolphins all year round. They always provide our passengers of all ages a thrill, an experience to remember; something that always brings a smile to everyone’s face. Take a short and scenic 30 minute drive south of Byron Bay to Ballina (transfer not included), where you will board our vessel. Our friendly Marine Biologist will share in-depth knowledge of the area & marine creature encounters we experience. Learn about our local pods of dolphins, their habits and behaviours. We are so sure you’ll spot a dolphin that we offer a free return trip if you don’t see one on your first Dolphin Cruise!
