5.00The captain helped my handicapped sister who walks with a walker onto the boat with no problem. I must say I was very impressed how easy he made it for her and it really was easy for her to get on the boat. Highly recommend this adventure!! Thank you so much for making us some memories here. We loved seeing the dolphins and all the information you gave us on the tour!!

5.00Hearing the history of Nobbys Head, looking back on the city of Newcastle and the wonderful cliffs forming the coastline along the way. The natural caves occurring at the waterline, being able to get up close and peer into the opening. Entering a rocky bay with with crystal clear water was very special. A happy moment for all when dolphins surrounded the boat.
