Finding comfortable accommodation in Port Stephens, settling into enjoying the novel weather and way of life, you might be on the lookout for something exciting to do. One thing you must try is Dolphin Swimming, an endeavor that is the only one of its kind, and enables you to swim with the dolphins while causing no adverse effects on the creatures.
Located a mere ten minutes away from Oaks Pacific Blue Resort, Dolphin Swimming launch point will give you a lengthy and detailed briefing. Their speciality is that you will be attired in a wetsuit, goggles, and a snorkel, and will be dragged in between two catamarans holding onto a rope. Setting off before sunrise itself, you will then encounter dolphins up and about after their dinner hunts, and have them bow-riding alongside you. Use of a catamaran minimalizes the impact on the dolphins, and having you in the water alongside them gives a sense of pleasure to the dolphins. In fact, it is highly likely that you will be entertaining the dolphins and not the other way round! Dolphin Swimming tours usually lasts for about four hours, with each group of dolphins keeping you company for at least an hour. What you must note is that Australian regulations strictly forbid any boat from approaching dolphins closer than 50m. Thus, if you want to see these lovely creatures up close, the dolphins have to decide to come to you; the boats are forbidden from chasing them. The dolphins that swim with Dolphin Swimming choose to come closer to the catamaran because they love bow riding. In addition, a bunch of two legged creatures with weird contraptions on their faces must arouse curiosity too.
Dolphin Swimming at Salamander Bay is an approved method of swimming with the dolphins. No dolphins are forced to stray from their routine for the activity, and your effect on the eco system as a whole is minimal.
