October might just be the best-kept secret of dolphin season 👀

Here’s why we’re VERY excited to get back in the water:

🐋 Whales are still making their way down the east coast often with their fresh baby calves in tow!

🐬 You can swim with wild dolphins WHILST listening to whales sing underwater. Yep. It’s as magical as it sounds.

🌅 Plus, sunrise on the way out, fewer crowds and generally cheaper accommodation = winning!

And if you’re thinking “but isn’t October cold?”, we’ve got extra thermal vests to layer under your wetsuit, so you can stay nice and toasty out there 🤌🏼

October, we’re ready for you. 🐋🐬☀️

Bookings are open via the link in our bio 🤍

Which fact surprised you the most? 🐬

They’ve got best mates, their own way of communicating and somehow manage to sleep while keeping half their brain on the job 🌊

The more we learn about these guys, the more impressive they get! 🥹

Netflix: “Are you still watching?”
Us: “Nah mate, the dolphins are on.” 🐬

Honestly, we reckon this is a pretty good reason to put the remote down!

Would you swap your next Netflix binge for this? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Not every dolphin pod behaves the same 🐬

Just like us, every pod has its own personality!

Some are playful and curious, some are full of energy… and some are just absolute chillers like these guys 🤙🏼

That’s one of the best parts about encountering wild dolphins, every day on the water is different and every interaction happens completely on their terms 🌊

What would your dolphin personality be? Let us know in the comments 👇🏼

25/26 SEASON WRAP UP 🐬🎬

This was filmed the morning after our end of season party with a few dusty stragglers that we roped into interviewing on our back deck 😂. We are sorry for the raving and delirium - it had been a big season and quite a big night of celebrating!

To follow on from the video:
We are so grateful for the last season, firstly to the wild common dolphins who consistently charged over to the boat to get on the bow and give our guests the most mind blowing wild life experience. And secondly, to our INCREDIBLE team who show up every single tour with the same passion and enthusiasm as if it were their first shift - and some have been doing this for 15+ years!! Without you guys, we wouldn’t have these insane stats to spit out or hundreds of glowing reviews about the experience (which are mostly about the staff anyway 🥹.)

And lastly, thank you to each and every one of the 2000+ FROTHERS who chose the wild way and joined us out in the open ocean. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for keeping the dream alive and giving people the ethical option of swimming with dolphins on their terms, in their environment! Legends! Every single one of you 🙏🏽

Bring on the 26/27 season!!!! With just over 6 weeks to go , the countdown is officially ON 😱

Where the adventures are pretty hard to beat! 🐬

From sunrise hikes with RIDICULOUS views, to giant sand dunes, hidden rock pools and some very curious locals of the dolphin variety 😂

This little corner of NSW had a bit of everything and we think it deserves a spot on your next adventure list ⛰️

Now the only question is… when are you popping in to say g’day? 👀
