Giant and Dolphin Sightseeing Cruise in Mandurah

See the fourth Giant from the only angle that works: the water

A sightseeing cruise through Mandurah's waterways and wetlands on Bindjareb Noongar Country, departing from Port Mandurah to view Seba's Song: one of five Giants of Mandurah sculptures made from recycled wood by artist Thomas Dambo. The boat passes through the canal-side homes of Port Mandurah, the RAMSAR-listed Creery Wetlands, and the 136-square-kilometre Peel-Harvey Estuary, with live English-language commentary, a dolphin guarantee, and a restroom on board. The cruise lasts two hours and fifteen minutes and does not include stops or additional transport time.

Step-by-step itinerary

Mandurah waterway and giant sculpture cruise

• Travel through Port Mandurah Canals
• See RAMSAR listed Creery Wetlands
• View Peel-Harvey Estuary
• Observe the 4th Giant, Seba's Song

The experience

Mandurah's waterways open up a view of Seba's Song that land cannot offer. This Giant (a towering sculpture of recycled wood facing the water) reveals itself fully only from the boat, in a 360-degree perspective impossible from shore. The cruise departs Port Mandurah and threads through the canal-side homes of the port before moving into open water, so you see the sculpture emerge as the landscape changes around it.

Between the sculpture and the return, the boat moves through the Creery Wetlands, a RAMSAR-listed site where birdlife congregates in numbers most visitors never encounter on foot. The guide provides live commentary as the boat crosses into the Peel-Harvey Estuary: 136 square kilometres of inland waterway and one of Western Australia's largest, home to dolphins and rare animal species. The whole passage takes two hours and fifteen minutes without stops, so the day stays intact.

Boarding requires independent movement: small steps, a ladder-style staircase, and a narrow walkway to the bow. You'll need to stay upright on moving water. A restroom is on board, and infants can ride in a pram or stroller (small children sit on an adult's lap). The operator guarantees dolphin sightings, and service animals are welcome. If you want lunch, Cicerello's Restaurant, Mandurah's famous fish-and-chip spot, can pack a meal for around $13 per person when you contact them directly.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

Can I see Seba's Song from the shore, or do I need the boat?

Seba's Song faces away from land toward the water, so the boat is the only way to see it fully. The sculpture's waterside location means you get a complete 360-degree view from the water that is not possible from land.

What wildlife will I actually see on this cruise?

The cruise includes a dolphin guarantee, so you will see dolphins. The Creery Wetlands host abundant birdlife, and the Peel-Harvey Estuary is home to diverse and rare animal species, all visible during the two-hour-fifteen-minute journey.

Does the boat stop anywhere, or is it a continuous cruise?

The cruise does not stop anywhere. It is a continuous two-hour-fifteen-minute journey through Port Mandurah's canals, the Creery Wetlands, and the Peel-Harvey Estuary, with no additional transport time built in.

What is included in the ticket price?

The cruise includes a tour escort or host, live English-language commentary on board, the dolphin guarantee, and access to a restroom. Fish-and-chip lunch from Cicerello's Restaurant is available separately by contacting the restaurant directly.

Do I need to be fit or have good balance to board?

Guests must move independently around the vessel, including boarding, navigating small steps, a ladder-style staircase, and a narrow walkway to the bow, and must be able to stay upright on moving water. Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller, and service animals are allowed.
