Marine Life Experience As we endeavour to look at wild animals while on our Marine Life Cruises there is no guarantee that we will sight animals during the cruise. The skipper and crew have many years of experience in Shark Bay and will always try their hardest to find animals for you to look at. Unfortunately due to seasonal changes our sightings will vary. Dugong season is August to May.
