        One of the best boat tours I've been on! Our guide Marlon was fantastic and took the time to explain everything to us. Would highly recommend this! Totally worth it, got to see seals, birds but no dolphins but that was alright cz the overall ride was beautiful

        I had a great time with my partner on this tour and we saw lots of interesting sea life including a penguin, dolphins swimming alongside the boat, seals and birds. Our guide, Steve, was super friendly and informative about the animals and historic sites.

        I did the tour two days ago and loved to snorkel with the seals. They were not so playful and interactive on this day but we were still able to watch them cruise around us in the water what was great. We were quite lucky to see many dolphins several times. Sadly we didn't see the seadragons but I went back two days later by myself and found them. So they're definitely there. I really liked that we were just a small group in a small boat otherwise I wouldn't have done the tour as I don't like the crowds. I can just recommend doing the tour with these guys. They also helped me to find a place where someone might be able to fix my mask as it broke before the tour. Thank you for the great trip!

        Took the kids for their birthday and they had an amazing time. We didn’t get to see any dolphins but the seals and boat ride were still a hit! Will definitely be back!

        We did the 2 hour snorkelling tour, the small group size made the tour feel quite personal. There were 3 seperate snorkelling spots, one where we saw a sea dragon in amongst the seaweed as well as a huge ray. The other two spots were centred around snorkelling with the seals who come quite close to you and are not bothered by the human presence. The guides were well informed and overall it was a great afternoon out.
