This was an absolutely fantastic experience for the young and old staff is so friendly and knowledgeable and it’s just a fun activity as a family or a couple
The guide was very enthusiastic about the fish and the wild life. There was lots of fish to feed with bread. Good way to kill an hour, but the experience is reliant on the tide. No tickling the toes for us.
Lots of fish! But also lots of people (we were there in school holidays). Not easy to hear the host, or know which fish she was talking about as she moved around. Clearer signage and rope barriers recommended to save the host from having to tell people to move back from certain areas repeatedly.
This was a great fun experience and also very informative. Staff went out of their way to make sure my wife was able to experience a fish feeding, despite all the people who crowded out the feeding areas and the kids who kept throwing handfuls of bread in the water, despite being told several times that this would stop the fish coming in to be hand fed.
Was a fun experience. Recommend for young families. Disappointed to hear the way staff were talking to each other.
A bit underwhelming, cafe closed , staff had no idea if wifi was available, or knew the wifi to check, still nice though , probably for very young kids who are easily pleased
Great fun feeding fish. Friendly and helpful staff, who happily share their knowledge
Brilliant day - was very educational as well as totally epic!
Very informative and enjoyable session. Children loved the Rock cod and bat fish. The water was lovely and warm and so many fish,
Great tourist activity at low cost. Hands on feeding fish. Recommend holding fish above water for the Barra to grab it. Quick grab All ages to do walk in water with the fish great experience. Milk fish, bat fish, Barra, cat fish, trevally and mullet just some you can see.
