5.00This was a spectacular boat tour. We got up very close to Cathedral Cove, sea caves and even entered a cave which was full of fish. Sam was amazing with her knowledge and commentary. We thoughtfully enjoyed this experience.

5.00Great trip around the beautiful coastline to see the beaches and wildlife from the water. Sam was our friendly and fun skipper who shared her knowledge about the area and answered questions, generously. If you want a safe, fun, customer-focused experience this one is for you.
Stunning, interesting and most enjoyable!

5.00We greatly enjoyed our excellent tour with the very capable, friendly and knowledgeable Justin. In addition to a stunning tour of the coast, he made interesting and humorous points about what we saw (flora, fauna, history, geology etc) and always ensured that everyone had ample opportunities to take pictures. His handling of the boat (including in a cave with swell!) was impressive. Very safe and competent! Highly recommend. Thank you!
You should give it a go, especially if not having a lot of time to explore.

5.00We saw advertisements for different boat trips and the options seemed a little overwhelming, but after a little reading we settled on Ocean Leopard and I'm really glad we did. The boat felt very safe, with comfortable and modern life vests, and skipper Sam was charming and held our attention with details about everything we were seeing. It was a very fun trip!
Perfect trip.

5.00A great way to see the local coastline. Sam was a great guide and the trip had lots of stops to enjoy the wildlife and geology. The sunbathing seal was a highlight!

5.00Very good guide. Comfortable boat (no spray even though we went fast from time to time). Really nice the way the boat would be made to turn slowly when close to the shore so both sides could get a fair share of the views.
