Our experienced Kayak Guides will take you past the Ticonderoga Bay Dolphin Sanctuary Zone, which is a refuge for dolphins and a significant component of their habitat, and the picturesque Point Nepean National Park.
Port Phillip Bay is home to a population of around 80 bottlenose dolphins. These mammals rely almost entirely on the bay for all their daily needs. They rarely, if ever, venture outside its waters. The small population size makes these dolphins vulnerable to extinction.
Marine mammals are given special protection under law in protected areas including the Ticonderoga Bay sanctuary zone, located north-west of Portsea near Point Nepean, is a refuge for the dolphins and is a significant component of the dolphins’ habitat. Dolphins often feed, rest and socialise in this area due to the availability of food and its protected nature.
