10 Holdfast Promenade
We offer two different swim experiences during our Wild Dolphin Cruise, a Front Swim and a Back Swim. On a typical day, all swimmers should get the opportunity to try both swims, however some days swimmers may only get the opportunity to try one. Our goal is to get all swimmers to see a dolphin underwater so please know how friendly staff will do their best to make this happen.
Front Swim Experience:
Lay down and feel as if you’re a part of the dolphin pod, our Front Swim is an experience you don’t want to miss!
Our custom made Front Swim net is secured between the bows of Temptation and allows customers to experience wild dolphins swimming within arms length, playing and socialising on the bow of Temptation.
Back Swim Experience:
Submerge yourself in the water with our Back Swim Experience, an amazing way to view wild dolphins in their natural habitat.
Our Back Swim Experience allows customers to interact with dolphins from a truly unique perspective. Jump in and hold on to our mermaid lines off the back of the vessel and enjoy amazing interactions our wild dolphins offer.
Please note there is no direct physical interaction with the dolphins such as touching or feeding.
