  • The Wilderness Cruise was wonderful!

    The Wilderness Cruise was absolutely amazing! During the 2.5-hour journey around Wilsons Promontory, we saw seals, dolphins, whales, and the breathtaking granite mountains, including the iconic Skull Rock. It was truly an unforgettable experience!

  • 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.

    Was such a fun and great tour. The tour guides definitely know the good spots around the national park and had such cool and interesting facts as we go around. Was so lucky to see whales that day too and overall a 10/10 experience and definitely worth the $$$

    Absolutely fantastic! Crew were great, scenery was spectacular & the experience, despite getting soaking wet, was great fun. A couple of tips - it can geta bit rough, so expect some bumps & it's probably a good idea to take some sea-sickness prevention. - you might consider a plastic zip lock bag for your phone. All 5 of us are aged 70+ & we shared the boat with 22 14 year old teenage boys & they loved it too, so it's an experience for all ages.

  • Our trip to Skull Rock

    This boat cruise to Skull Island was magnificent from the beginning to end. It was extremely organised. Our guides Deb and Teagan were the best!! We were given jackets to wear, options to take a ginger tablet in case of sea sickness. Once on the boat, we started our adventure heading as far as Skull Rock… we saw seals, a sea eagle and Skull Rock. The seals were beautiful and even welcomed our boat! We highly recommend.

  • Worth doing

    It can be windy & rough but the vessel is capable and it adds to the experience. We had so much fun.

  • Unfair and Rigid Service, No Customer Consideration

    anshum114,May 2, 2026

    We had a highly disappointing and frustrating experience with this cruise booked through Viator. Our group of five paid $825 in total, and due to an unavoidable tyre puncture, we arrived at 1:55 PM—just 25 minutes after the 1:30 PM check-in time. We clearly explained the situation upon arrival, but were refused boarding immediately without any discussion or consideration. The response from staff was blunt and dismissive; we were simply told “no” and informed that the boat had already departed. They claimed they had tried calling multiple times, but we had no network coverage in that area, making it impossible to receive those calls, which was completely beyond our control. What makes this experience even worse is the complete lack of flexibility or basic customer care. Despite the genuine circumstances, there was no option to reschedule, no partial refund, and no goodwill gesture of any kind. It felt like policy was used as a reason to keep the full payment without providing any service. For a company handling paid experiences, this level of rigidity and lack of empathy is unacceptable. All five of us lost the full amount with absolutely no resolution, which feels entirely unfair. I strongly recommend others think carefully before booking, as if anything goes wrong—even due to unavoidable circumstances—you should not expect any support, flexibility, or accountability.
