The pier-based departure removes much of the logistics anxiety, and the format is well-suited to families with children aged 8 to 14 who want a genuine wildlife experience rather than a passive boat cruise. ### Not suited for Families with children under 8 who want to swim, and guests seeking a spectator-only wildlife experience. Anyone with a strong aversion to cold water should note that Port Phillip Bay temperatures range from around 13 degrees Celsius in winter to 22 degrees in summer. ### Visit Polperro Dolphin Swims directly Pricing, seasonal departures, and group bookings are managed on the operator's own website.
