Have the opportunity to swim with wild dolphins OR among seals and snorkel
some of Kangaroo Island's stunning coastline. It's an amazing wildlife
encounter! We provide wetsuits, mask, snorkel & fins.

Arrive at the Kangaroo Island Information Stop in Penneshaw (Howard drive)
where you will be fitted into a wetsuit, mask, snorkel and flippers and
provided with a safety brief. Then jump on board our 28 seater vessels in
search of the marine life that inhabits the incredible coastline.

Spot the cheeky seals lounging on the rocks and playing in the water. Then
it's time to dive in! These curious seals can be quite interactive and playful
and provide a fun snorkelling experience. Kangaroo Island Ocean Safari is the
only operator in South Australia that provides the opportunity to swim with
the Long-nosed Seals.

Search for the dolphin pods that reside in these coastal waters and take the
opportunity to swim alongside them in the wild. A truly unforgettable wildlife
encounter. Your friendly guide will also provide informative commentary along
the way.

PLEASE NOTE THESE ARE WILD ANIMALS. THIS TOUR IS SWIM WITH DOLPHINS OR SEALS
- It depends on what occurs on the day and what the wildlife chooses to do. We
will try our best to swim with both, however it may on be with DOLPHINS ONLY,
SEALS ONLY or COASTAL SNORKEL ONLY.
