Never again.

Our trip should have been cancelled. Would have much preferred that than to have been charged $160 per person to be smashed by the ocean for 2 hours. We were all freezing, miserable and nauseous and just wanted the whole thing to end. We would never recommend this to anyone

Wild Boat Experience in South Wilsons Promontory

It was a well-organized safe stable boat trip being driven off the beach into the ocean on a unique wheeled boat- then zooming around & spending time at various places & being flexible & democratic to change to go & spot whales & dolphins - the highlight was having a large pod of dolphins very close with 2 whales going under our boat on the bottom of Australia!

Operator response

Hi Robert, Thanks for your review. How special to see whales and dolphins, we are so pleased to hear you had such a fabulous day out on the water! We hope to see you again soon!

Great, well worthwhile tour

Knowledgeable guides and a very interesting tour. Particularly liked Scull Rock. Seals were an added bonus. Unfortunately no whales today.

Wanderer Adventures Whale Watching

Wanderer Adventures did an amazing job from the start with the expectations and briefing to being so engaged with all of us. We didn't see whales at first but saw dolphins and seals, but they wouldn't give up and we were able to find 4 whales, one actual dam very slowly in front of our boat. Damo and Bree were excellent tour guides and were willing to try everywhere they could to see a whale 🐋. Thanks for a great trip

Operator response

Hi Debbie, Thank you for sharing your review. So happy to hear you were able to spot 4 whales! What a special way to experience the prom up close. We are please Damo and Bree took such good care of you :) See you again soon!

A must see experience

This experience is worth every dollar that you pay for the trip. The staff are fantastic, friendly, professional, know their stuff and go beyond to make sure you experience all there is to offer travelling this coastline, islands and all the sea wildlife. We saw whales, dolphins, seals, sea eagles and albatross. Let alone the beautiful and rugged coastline and islands. The boat used is in excellent condition, very stable and allows for excellent views no matter where you sit. We highly recommend this as a must see when visiting Wilsons Promontory National Park.

Operator response

Thank you, Chris, for your recommendation! Sounds like you had an amazing day out on the water with plenty of wildlife! It certainly is a special part of the world to explore. We hope to see you again soon!
