Dolphin Sanctuary

Discover Marine Life, Local History and Port Phillip Bay!

Paddle the Dolphin Sanctuary

Be an explorer in Port Phillip Bay, discover the marine life and learn the local history.

Sea kayaking is the ultimate way of exploring the pristine coastline of the Mornington Peninsula. Our fun and eco-friendly vessels present a quiet and tranquil experience. The opportunity to spot the Burrunan dolphins, Australian Fur seals and Fairy penguins makes this the perfect tour for those craving a little adventure and connection with nature.

What to expect from your experience

The tour will begin with a short briefing to cover the equipment use, terminology, safety procedures and skills. Once out on the water your guide will share some history on the Point Nepean National Park, Port Phillip Bay and Dolphin Sanctuary, including local information and facts on the marine life you may encounter.

After travelling up the coastline through the dolphin sanctuary towards Point Nepean you’ll be instructed to turn around and head towards Sorrento, keep any eye out for those hilltop mansions and private piers on your way.  A halfway stop at a secluded beach will allow you to stretch your legs before continuing the final stretch of the journey. If its warm enough you might even be able to go for quick dip!
