As your Eco Certified Kayaking Guide and a trained Dolphin Watch volunteer, Chelle Fisher invites you to be part of a unique adventure that combines exploration with citizen science. This is your special invitation to participate in some dolphin watching as part of the 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗵 𝗗𝗼𝗹𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗻 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁🐬
We'll paddle under the 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗵 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲 and along the eastern foreshore, passing by the new estuary pool, 𝗞𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗮 𝗚𝗮𝗯𝗶. Throughout the tour, you'll learn how to identify individual dolphins that inhabit Mandurah's waterways, and how to report your sightings, contributing to research on the Mandurah dolphin population. All participants will receive a free copy of the latest finn guide to help identify our local dolphins📖
As we navigate 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗷𝗮𝗿 𝗕𝗮𝘆 to 𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁, we'll keep an eye out for the breathtaking beauty of ospreys, the elegance of black swans, and cheeky cormorants dining on the iconic 𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗮 𝗖𝗿𝗮𝗯. We'll pause to admire the majestic 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗕𝗮𝘆 𝗙𝗶𝗴 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗲 at Stingray Point and look out for 𝗣𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗰𝘆 at 𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗳, often seen mingling with local fishermen🦢
Our adventure continues through 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗵'𝘀 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘀, marveling at the grandeur of million-dollar homes lining the water's edge. At 𝗗𝗼𝗹𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗻 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝘆, we make a short pitstop at 𝗞𝗲𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 and take a brief walk to 𝗟𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀, a French Cafe & Patisserie specializing in beautiful macarons, meringues & croissants. Enjoy a delightful bite and drink, rejuvenating ourselves before resuming our kayaking expedition🧁🧋
On the return paddle, we pass the poignant 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗵 𝗪𝗮𝗿 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹, paying our respects to its significance. The journey along the western foreshore allows us to soak in the scenic vistas and reflect on the captivating stories and sights encountered throughout our adventure🛕
