What a fantastic trip! Friendly and knowledgeable, Kimberley and Elijah were professional and fun skippers. We were lucky enough to see a pod of bottlenose dolphins surfing our bow wave, a pair of white-bellied eagles fishing, brown seals basking on the rocks and a wedge-tailed eagle soaring overhead. Thanks for a great trip.

A really awesome tour, with very informative skipper and guide! Would definitely go again and would recommend the tour to anyone. We were advised at the start of the tour that it wasn’t guaranteed that we would see dolphins or seals, but we ended up seeing lots of dolphins and a few seals. Everyone was very happy. The staff were excellent in answering all the questions about KI, the seals and the dolphins.

What a way to start a day on KI - We had a great time with the crew taking us out to see the Kangaroo Island coast. Before we headed too far we had our first encounter with a number of dolphins which continued at various times over the trip. The bird life was amazing and the long fur seals hanging out on the rock with some turf wars taking place was great to watch. We then experienced the sea eagle taking a large fish back to its nest. The crew were great, you never felt rushed and they were always interactive sharing information and taking question. The boat had ample room and was first class. This was a first class experience that I would highly recommend for anyone coming to KI.
An activity not to miss

Amazing experience, fantastic friendly and knowledgeable crew. Coastal views you can't see from your car, and dolphin play you can't miss out on. It's a must do activity.
Great fun and informative

Great time today with Bonnie and Elijiah! We had a storm coming and they let us know no snorkeling due to safety concerns, providing us with several options including a refund. We chose to do the 75 min safari and it was great! We found dolphins within minutes of departure and got some great photos. On to visit the fur seals and then more dolphins. They were both friendly, fun and professional. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing time doing the coastal safari. We got to see dolphins coming right up to the boat and loads of seals as well. Our tour guides were very friendly and provided good information about the animals. Would highly recommend anyone visiting Kangaroo Island to go on this safari.
