Snorkeling with dolphins in Australia
About this list
If you want to go snorkeling with dolphins in Australia, the useful question is not whether the dolphins are there but who will take you to them that way. Maptlantis lists only the 17 operators in Australia that name the dolphin as a target species and actually run snorkeling. 16 of the 17 operators (94%) publish prices on their own channels, so you can compare those directly; ask the rest. Estimated prices are not shown. Operators list different seasons, May–Nov, May–Oct and Oct–Apr among them. There is no single season for dolphin trips in Australia, so check each operator's operating period before you set your dates. Operators with structured encounter data list humpback whale, dolphin, seals (species unspecified), bottlenose dolphin and australian fur seal as target species. Ways to meet them: boat-based watching, swimming, snorkeling and kayak wildlife watching. Whether you may enter the water and what distance rules apply differ by country and operator. Check the program details and legal status on each operator page first.
