  • Overview

    Come face-to-face with the Australian Fur Seals in a small group environment on our 2-hour Popes Eye and Fur Seal tour experience.

    Fur Seals are one of the most incredibly playful and inquisitive marine mammals that inhabit Victorian waters.  Our seal tour will provide you with the opportunity to see and swim with seals in two different environments – the first Chinaman’s Hat, a shallow ‘haul-out site’ that houses up to 100 seals who are ready to play in their shallow pool like sandy bottom surroundings.  The second site is Popes Eye, known as Port Phillip Bay’s best dive location, houses up to 20 animals in a deeper water setting.  Popes Eye is also home to the Australasian Gannet, Australia’s largest diving sea bird and an array of other underwater life.

    Highly recommend this company for seal & dolphin tours. I am 29 weeks pregnant & was dubious about my abilities but the staff were so compassionate & helped me the entire tour to make sure I could get in & out of the water & snorkel & enjoy myself. I also got a bit sea sick & the staff were even helping me with this & making sure I was okay. We sadly didn’t get to see any dolphins but the discounted offer (because of not seeing dolphins) is something we will probably take up before the season ends because it is a lifelong dream to swim with the dolphins!

    Despite my initial doubts and insecurities, I was amazed by the way they treated me during the experience. Their warmth and care gave me the courage to try new things like sitting on the net, jumping, and even snorkelling, which I never thought I could do. It was truly a wonderful and inspiring experience that I'll always cherish.

    Amazing experience! Swam with the seals at Chinamans hat and saw a ton of dolphins. Wasn't able to swim with the dolphins as they had calves with them but they were very playful and came right up to our boat. I'm not the strongest swimmer but felt well looked after by the crew. The travel time was also made interesting we had activities like riding on ropes off the boat. The crew taught us a lot about the wildlife we were seeing and the conservation efforts. All around a great time, I plan to go again before summer is up!

    Such a brilliant day all round! So many fun activities on board and incredible seal swimming off board. The staff were amazing, helping my nervous 9yo and 4yo girls with kindness and compassion. My girls ended up doing every activity and had the best day ever!! The food (which we did not expect) was a great surprise too.

    Amazing experience!!!! Brooke, Shey and Jake are so lovely, professional and supportive. Even with a weak ankle these guys made this experience incredible and went the extra mile to support me physically. Such a wonderful experience and the team at Sea All are very ethical and work with the dolphins and seals which is really important. 100% recommend I will be back for sure
