Staff were lovely and helpful. Great day on the water. Views and water were beautiful. Saw seals and dolphins.
Great vessel and crew and very much enjoyed the tour.
Great day on the water, we were lucky enough to get a beautiful calm day, the tour guide was informative and humorous. Wild life aplenty we witnessed seals and dolphins feeding on a school of fish got a glimpse of a whale and multiple different bird species. Anchored in wineglass bay for lunch which was quite nice and peaceful. Having a bar on the vessel was an added bonus. Boat was spacious and had plenty of viewing options. All in all highly recommend.
Thanks so much for taking the time to share your wonderful feedback. Cheers Melina

A 10.00am departure for a 5 hour cruise and we have lucked a relatively sunny day, albeit a bit cool. We are in the VIsta lounge whilst the top tickets are in the lounge above. The crew are all great and move around looking after everyone's welfare and safety. A commentary comes on from up above from time to time telling about the scenery around us and the wildlife. We see seals, baby penguins, and all sorts of birds. A stop in a lovely bay for 1/2 and hour to eat our lunch packs which we included in the tickets we bought. A bar and snack counter we open for the full journey, including coffee. In summary, not as spectacular as we were expecting, and perhaps a bit too long. But nevertheless we were pleased to have had the experience.
