Cancelled seal and dolphin swim

4.00I was initially booked for will the dolphin and seal swim. That was rescheduled once due to "boat maintenance" and luckily I was still going to be on the island so I could still experience it. I then received another phone call saying they had to cancel it as the boat would still be in maintenance. I was extremely disappointed with this. The only only thing I could do was the safari. It was ok, went up and down the coast and heard stories of KI and the seals and learned some facts about dolphins. Regardless, my trip was booked surrounding the seals and dolphin dive for my birthday and it was cancelled due to not having the boat available. Not great and quite unhappy about this. Nothing other than a coastal safari was offered.
Long weekend family KI visit

5.00We booked this coastal safari in the hope to see some of the beautiful coastal wildlife and we were not disappointed! We were fortunate to see an abundance of fur seals all along the coast just basking and playing in their own habitat and then as we headed back in, there was a pod of dolphins swimming alongside the boat! Our guide Elijah was fun, interactive, knowledgeable and humorous- loved the commentary on board! Definitely a must do if visiting KI! Love love loved it!!
Average.

3.00I felt this was overpriced for what it delivered. The tour operators was great and provided lots of information. He did try to find dolphins but we didn’t see any. Boat was modern and safety instructions provided. We did see fur seals but there are way better seal experiences at Seal Bay and Flinders Chase NP.
Great experience to see Dolphins.

5.00Absolutely fantastic Ocean Safari tour this morning on Kangaroo Island! From the moment we stepped on board, David and Thomas were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They made us feel right at home and shared interesting explanations about the local history, how the rocks were formed, and other fascinating details that kept my young boys engaged the whole time. The tour itself was brilliant. We had an amazing encounter with a pod of dolphins early on, and the guys invited us to stand on the side of the boat so we could get a closer look — they took their time and never rushed us. We then saw loads of seals before heading back out for even more dolphin action. We even saw eagle flying. It was nonstop wildlife excitement from start to finish! The boat was really comfortable, and the whole experience was just perfect. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kangaroo Island. Highly recommended! Thank you David and Thomas for such a memorable morning!
Expert sea captains made this experience memorable!
