Dolphin SwimAustralia

Andrew Parker founded Dolphin Swim Australia in 2010 after studying the resident dolphin population of Port Stephens Great Lakes Marine Park — initially as a dolphin-assisted therapy program for children with autism, before opening to general guests. The operation holds the only NSW permit for swimming with wild dolphins. The method is specific: a harness system off the bow of the vessel rather than a chase swim, no feeding, no touching, dolphins approach on their own terms or don't. No guarantees. The Port Stephens population includes both resident bottlenose and oceanic dolphins. Worimi country.
