Great trip

They were great. Issue with 3rd party ticket but company sort it out on our behalf. Staff are great with all people from whatever part of the world youre from. Was worried we wouldnt see much but they found the dolfins and seal have a structure they stay on. Can move around boat freely. Good trip.

Wonderful nature in its element!

Nature cannot be planned and guaranteed to turn up but we got lucky. Seals at Pope’s eye and dolphins following us back towards Sorrento made for a wonderful trip that took in sea birds along the way.

Operator response

Thank you for the lovely review! 🐬 You're so right — nature keeps us on our toes, and it sounds like the bay put on a wonderful show for you! Seals at Pope's Eye and dolphins on the way home is about as good as it gets. We hope to see you back on board soon! 🌊 The Moonraker Team

Nice cruise ride with dolphins view

We spotted dolphins playing and roaming around the cruise, and even saw seals on our way! It was amazing 🐬 there was plenty of seats to roam around.

Operator response

Nothing special

Too dear for what it is. Didn’t see any dolphins. $300 for 4 of us for 90 mins. Wouldn’t do it again.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your feedback — we're sorry to hear the experience didn't meet your expectations on this occasion. 🌊 We completely understand how disappointing it can be when dolphins aren't sighted, and we genuinely empathise. As much as we love these incredible animals, they are wild and free in their natural habitat, which means sightings can never be guaranteed. This is why we offer our dolphin guarantee — if dolphins aren't spotted on a swim tour, we invite guests back for a return visit free of charge. We'd love the opportunity to make it up to you and show you what Moonraker is truly about. Please feel free to reach out to us directly we'd be happy to assist. The Moonraker Team

No dolphins, but plenty of seals & gannets

Unfortunately we didn’t see any dolphins on our tour. We were taken to a spot where the seals & gannets live so we did see those animals. The speaker system on the boat did not work well so we could not hear what the guide was saying . Nice enough boat ride but I wouldn’t go again.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear the dolphins didn't show up on this occasion — as much as we love them, they are wild animals and sightings can never be guaranteed. This is why we offer our dolphin guarantee, and we'd love to welcome you back for a return visit so you can experience them in all their glory. 🐬 We also sincerely apologise for the issues with the speaker system — clear communication and commentary throughout the tour is really important to us and we will be looking into this immediately to ensure it doesn't affect future guests. 🦭 We hope you'll give us another chance to show you what Moonraker is truly about. Please feel free to reach out to us at info@moonrakercharters.com.au and we'd be happy to look after you. 🌊 The Moonraker Team
