Last minute booking and I'm sure glad I did it. Had trips with dolphins, had trips with seals but never both together. One seals playing around, suddenly dolphins joined in, watching them follow each other around close to us was an amazing experience. The 4 girls on board were fantastic, very knowledgeable, engaging, their enthusiasm was catching, they made everyone's day perfect!

Awesome experience swimming with the amazing sea lions. The crew were awesome - Shout out to Georgia, Isla, Grace and Stuts for being excellent guide and crew members. We had an amazing time and I highly recommend to all. One of the best experiences I have had.

The water was soupy, but this is not the outfit's fault, blame mother nature. They delivered what they promised, very friendly, great music from the skipper, the food was great. The guides very informative, paid attention to everyone, all of them were scanning non stop for seals and dolphins and they looked after everybody. Four seals, nothing to complain about, was worth the money, had a great day on the water!

It’s a nice trip but no dolphins and just one sea lion that day (fortunately one came by close just near the end). The lunch was fine, the seafood component being prawns/shrimps and octopus. Value for money not as good as for example snorkeling with sea lions at Jurien Bay at half the price (though no lunch). We took advantage of the free return ferry to Penguin Island after the cruise, which was worthwhile.

We paid for this package but at the location, we were told that it does not include snorkeling. It was a one-hour Uber drive to Shoalwater only to be told this upon reaching. In the end, we had to just sit in the boat and watch other people snorkeling and they had booked from other websites. Even the staff and crew confirmed this. By the way, the staff and the crew are good, friendly and knowledgable.

Really knowledgeable guides, excellent safety brief, plenty of time to explore. Amazing fish, birds, colours, seals and dolphins. Food onboard not abundant so don’t start trip feeling

We had a wonderful time with the very experienced and knowledgeable guides/instructors who clearly love their Marine Park. Wetsuits, snorkel equipment and instruction with 2 long swims in the bay and a perfect lunch afterwards. We saw playful dolphins, enormous sea lions, osprey and schools of local fish. A beautiful place to visit and we were very thankful to be shown how to navigate it safely. Best to your trip through the Penguin Island Discovery Centre.

It was an enjoyable experience. They provided top quality equipment, the staff was amazing. Our group leader (you split into small groups), Kaitlyn was amazing with interacting my child in the water that my child abandoned me and had a new friend. My negative is I think it’s a bit expensive for the experience. BUT I have snorkeled a lot. If you are new to snorkeling you will be well looked after.
