You’re cruising along the stunning Hastings River, a refreshing drink in hand, the ocean breeze on your face, and the excitement of spotting playful dolphins in their natural habitat. Now add to that delicious food, a licensed bar, and the chance to order a bucket of fresh prawns at unbeatable prices—welcome to Port AdVenture Cruises’ Dolphin Cruise! 🐬🚢

More Dolphins, More Fun! Can You Beat the Record?
Dolphins love the Hastings River, and they love making a splash near our boat! The highest number of dolphins ever spotted on one of our cruises is 14—can you beat that? Keep your camera ready because these playful locals love showing off! Whether they’re racing alongside the boat, jumping in the waves, or playfully interacting in pods, every cruise is a new and thrilling experience.
