  • Overview

    Embark on a winter whale adventure discovering Phillip Island’s picturesque coastline.

    Depart Rhyll to circumnavigate Phillip Island*, keeping a lookout for humpback and southern right whales, searching for that immense blow in the distance, the smooth footprint on the water, or a glancing dorsal fin, then edging closer to view these majestic mammals.

    Whales exhibit a range of behaviours from tail and peduncle slapping, spy-hopping, breaching, feeding, whilst others are just travelling through the area.

    When touring around Phillip Island you will visit Seal Rocks where thousands of curious Australian Fur Seals can be spotted in the water and on the rocks, going about their day in this natural habitat.

    Common or bottlenose dolphins are a regular sight on the cruise and can often spotted playing in the wake of the boat.

    We went on the Full Day Wilson's Promontory Cruise on Tuesday 12 March. We enjoyed the cruise thoroughly and I would recommend it highly. We saw the lighthouse, skull rock, seal colony and had a lovely stop over in Refuge Cove. We had a small group of 19 on our cruise which meant there was plenty of space for everyone. Our captain provided a great commentary during the cruise. All of the staff were friendly and approachable. We enjoyed the good quality food - it exceeded our expectations. We had a wonderful day.

    Stunning ocean and wonderful experience!! We did a 60-mins scenic cruise but were lucky to encounter a seal on the way. The staff are friendly and very kind. I accidentally left my coat (which I didn't need in the end) on the ship but they sent it to a local address by Express so I could receive it before I departed the country. I cannot thank them enough for their hospitality. We will definitely come back again for other tours if we can.

    We had a lovely morning cruise out to the Cape, on Phillip Island Victoria . Ben, who sold us our tickets was completely right in his assessment of the weather and we had calm water and beautiful sunshine to enjoy our cruise . The staff including the captain were all friendly knowledgeable, and ready to help or share a second slice of cake , and coffee which was part of our ticket and enjoyed . The scenery was spectacular, we saw a seal and sea birds nesting . We learned about the geography and local history of the area and I admired the captains respect for the animals and other people using the area . A very enjoyable morning

    We joined the fur seal tour. The booking was very easy (by phone if you purchased the PIE package). Staff was responsive in email too. The 2-hour tour didn't too long. The crew was friendly and professional. The captain gave a very thorough presentation. The cruise had 2 levels, with plenty of seats. Toilets on each level. We stopped at the seal rock for more than 15min, which gave everyone plenty of time to take photos and videos. On our way back to the pier, they had colouring activities sheets for the kids and also served cakes. The captain even invited all the kids to hold the "steering wheel". Great experence for both kids and adults. A must go.

    Great cruise and lovely day for it. Crew were very helpful and good commentary on the trip there and information when we arrived at seal rock. Advise to take any sea sick medication as the boat does move about a bit.
