There’s no better way to see Mandurah than aboard a cruise with Mandurah Cruises! And one of their newest tours, the Giant & Dolphin Sightseeing Cruise, takes the experience to a whole new level. My three kids and I recently hopped on board and had the best time exploring Mandurah’s stunning waterways, uncovering one of Thomas Dambo’s famous giants, and of course, spotting dolphins!
We made ourselves comfortable on the bean bags at the front of the boat—the perfect spot to take in the views and enjoy some prime dolphin-spotting. What’s greatis their dolphin sighting promise: if you don’t spot any dolphins during your excursion, they’ll provide you with a complimentary pass for another cruise!
Having previously tracked down all the Giants of Mandurah, we were so excited to view Seba’s Song from the water. There’s something magical about seeing him from the boat—a whole new perspective that makes you feel like you’re in on his secret as he gazes out to sea.
I loved that as we admired this incredible giant, the crew made their way around the boat offering to take family snaps for everyone. It’s these little touches that make the experience so memorable!
The highlight for the kids? Definitely the dolphins! Every time one popped up alongside the boat, they squealed with excitement. It was like the dolphins knew we were watching and decided to put on a special performance just for us.
I also loved that the Giant & Dolphin Sightseeing Cruise took us to explore parts of Mandurah we hadn’t visited yet. From cruising past Mandurah’s luxurious canal homes to spotting pelicans and black swans along Mandjar Bay, spying Osprey Waters Foreshore Reserve, and exploring the Dawesville Cut, the tour was filled with unexpected gems.
The crew were incredibly knowledgeable, sharing everything from facts about Mandurah’s rich history and wildlife to the fun discovery that the Dawesville Cut Bridge is the tallest traffic bridge in the Southern Hemisphere.
If you’re after a family-friendly day out that combines giant sculptures, dolphin spotting, and an insightful journey through Mandurah’s waterways, the Giant & Dolphin Sightseeing Cruise is the perfect choice! Trust me, it’s a giant-sized adventure your family will love.
