Had a fantastic 1.5 hour cruise, worth the money. Although we didn't see dolphins, the seals were amazing and the company provided plenty of time for us to watch/photograph them. You can buy snacks if you want. The staff were really friendly and the boat clean and felt very safe, not too crowded. There was plenty of time to get there and back. Perfect weather too, added bonus.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad you had a fantastic cruise and that the seals put on a great show for you — they never disappoint! It's lovely to hear you had plenty of time to soak it all in and get some great photos. Our crew work hard to make every guest feel safe and comfortable on board, so it's great to hear that came through. Perfect weather is always a bonus out on the bay! We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon! The Moonraker Team
It was a ok tour to go in a nice day, bur not sure what this tour has of “luxury’ as the title says, they only provide basic tea, and anything extra you had to pay. We only saw 2 dolphins swimming bay, and the seals were to far to see them. Just think this tour as a nice ride on a boat that’s it.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback — we're glad you got out on the water on a beautiful day! We're pleased you enjoyed the refreshments included on board! For the full all-inclusive catering experience with lunch and snacks, our longer swim tours are well worth considering next time. Wildlife sightings can vary as we're working with wild animals in their natural habitat, and we're sorry the seals weren't as close on this occasion. 🦭 We hope to welcome you back on board and give you an even better experience next time!

Great family morning out! Friendly staff and a comfortable boat. Young grandson loved it. Plenty of dolphins and seals to see.
Thank you for the lovely review! 🐬 So glad you all had a wonderful family morning with us — there's nothing better than seeing the little ones light up around the dolphins and seals! 🦭 We hope to welcome you and your grandson back on board again soon! 🌊 The Moonraker Team
It's good but can't see dolphin properly so far from the cruise and another thing not right for me staff cant fine my name in them list for my booking so I want Viator check please why have no my detail with them , I pay money but no my name on the booking list that make me not very happy 😕
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and we're glad you enjoyed the cruise! 🐬 We sincerely apologise for the stress caused by your name not appearing on the booking list — we completely understand how unsettling that must have felt, especially having already paid. On a positive I am so pleased we could resolve this at the boat and you still enjoyed the cruise. This appears to be an issue with how your booking was transferred through Viator and we would encourage you to reach out to them directly to investigate. Please also feel free to contact us at info@moonrakercharters.com.au and we will do everything we can to help resolve it for you. 🌊 We're sorry the dolphins were a little far away on this occasion — the wildlife can be unpredictable but we always do our best to get you as close as possible! 🦭 We hope to welcome you back on board for a smoother experience next time! 😊 The Moonraker Team
My daughter and I sail regularly on wildlife tours, and as Peninsula locals, we both love Moonraker. We’ve been on a variety of boats, and this vessel is big, clean, and provides awesome visibility. The crew were all equally friendly, and excited to show us the local marine life. We loved our tour, and would highly recommend.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! As Peninsula locals and experienced wildlife tour sailors, your kind words mean a great deal to us. We're so glad you and your daughter love Moonraker and that our crew and boat continue to impress! We hope to welcome you both back on board again soon! The Moonraker Team
Good experience though we could not able to see Dolphins .overall very enjoyable trip. Although I guess there is a missing co-ordination between tour conductor and Viator , definitely there is a scope for improvement
Great experience highly recommended,staff is very friendly and informative Kids love it Definitely go for swimming next time
We booked the 1.5hr cruise for NYE, after wanting to do something unique. We were not disappointed! The crew was absolutely excellent in their customer service, communication and expert knowledge. Torie was a wonderful skipper and we especially appreciated the clear communication and guidance leading to the day and informing us of any changes. The food onboard was delicious and very well priced! I would definitely recommend the 1.5hr cruise if you don’t want to get into the water on the first go. We were lucky enough to see lots of dolphins, seals, birds and even a feeding frenzy for fish! A wonderful experience with 5 star company! Thankyou team. Will be back 😊🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Wow, what a fantasic cruise. This cruise is really magicial, from the crystal blue water to seeing the wildlife.....seals in their natural habitat, also gannets (birds) sitting on the rocks. There was great commentrary along the way hearing where the rich live and also the history of the place. The boat and also the staff were great.
