    My initial worry was being out at sea for at least 4 hours but I got myself prepared and had a good trip throughout except for some showers along the way. The skipper and Tams were great and they tried to make sure we're comfortable. We managed to visit the island of seals and caves. Nice walk in Darlington with nice views and weather

  • Awesome

    We got to see stacks of seals on Ile des Phoques (Isle of seals) from the boat. I especially enjoyed seeing all the animals on Maria Island during our walk. The wombats were amazing to see up close especially since their babies had just left their mother’s pouches. The lunch on the boat was great too.

  • Great tour on sea & land
