Experience was pretty, shorter than what was advertised. The 3 hours was really only 2 hours long especially for the price.

Fantastic trip! Absolutely recommend, the boat is great fun zipping around and views really are 360. We had great skippers Jo and Tim, lots of facts and fun hosts! Amazing scenery and wildlife to be seen :)

Absolutely must have to do! Amazing way to experience and see these cliffs if you are not able to do a 4-day hike. We were lucky with swell and wind so we could go very close to touch the waterfall, inside caves, gliding along cliffs closely - absolutely stunning! We saw plenty of seals playing and doing a show for us and we also got lucky with dolphins swimming and jumping along our boat. My parents who are in their 60s/70s loved it as well even my mum who can get a bit scared.
