¹ OUR DOLPHIN GUARANTEE
Terms & Conditions
Mandurah’s dolphins are wild creatures viewed in their natural environment. We know a lot about them, thanks to our dolphin project with Murdoch University. So while sighting them is likely, it may not occur on every cruise. Our Dolphin Guarantee ~ included in every Dolphin Cruise & Views tour and Giant & Dolphin Sightseeing Cruise ~ guarantees the tour’s dolphin sighting. It’s very simple: if the cruise you travel on does not see dolphins, you can travel again for free until you do! If you live overseas, we can allow the return within the next three years.

Our crew will determine whether there was adequate dolphin sighting during your cruise. This will be confirmed to all guests at the end of the tour and noted in our records. It can also be checked retrospectively with our Booking Office. 

Should there be dolphin sighting during your cruise, the Dolphin Guarantee is not valid for return trips.

Should a dolphin sighting not occur and you wish to use your Dolphin Guarantee to return, you are free to make another booking within 12 months of your original tour date, subject to availability, however if you are from overseas we may extend the booking period up to three years.

You may return as many times as you wish until you are on a tour where there is a dolphin sighting.

Return bookings must be made by phone or email – by calling our Booking office on 08 9581 1242 or emailing [email protected]. Dolphin Guarantee bookings can only be made for passengers who made the original tour booking unless with our explicit agreement.

Once you are on a tour with adequate dolphin sighting, the Dolphin Guarantee is no longer valid. Should you wish to travel on our Dolphin Cruise & Views again, a new ticket must be purchased. As a customer, you receive a 10% loyalty discount for future bookings of any Mandurah Cruises’ cruise or hire experience.⁵

Our Dolphin Guarantee is only available for fully-paid bookings with Mandurah Cruises ~ not available to customers who travel for free, such as Companions of Companion Cardholders. Each customer receiving the Guarantee must have initially booked our Dolphin Cruise & Views tour.

⁵ excludes Christmas Lights and special event cruises.

TERMS & CONDITIONS

• Minimum numbers apply for the tour to depart. There is a possibility of cancellation after confirmation if there are not enough passengers to meet requirements. In the event of this occurring, you will be offered an alternative or full refund.
