  Wonderful. Worth every penny. Kids loved seeing a dolphin and the Pirate ship that followed us. Friendly staff and informative commentary.

• 3Dolphin experience

  Friendly staff, boat good but unfortunately didn’t see dolphins until our return to the jetty area. Could have seen these without going on boat itself.

• 5Great family fun

  Great crew and commentary telling us all about the area and wildlife. Got to see dolphins, pelicans, an osprey and of course, lots of cormorants. We all really enjoyed it.

• 3Not worthy

  It is basic cruise to see some 3 or 4 dolphins at max that also do not dive for any shots. The scenic view is OK but at this price it is not worth it. Better if the price is at 25AUD , then its fine.
