Amazing experience

5.00Such an amazing experience! All of the crew are wonderful - so lovely, warm, and knowledgable. Saw heaps of dolphins that swam alongside the boat, and snorkelling was so fun. Came across a sting ray, some nurse sharks, a blue groper and an abundance of other beautiful fish. Highly recommend, thank you :)
Truly brilliant way to see this magical part of Australia

5.00Can’t speak highly enough about this tour. The crew with a huge shoutout to Shannon were remarkable. Such a pristine part of Australia- thankyou for sharing it and also the care you demonstrate for this stunning ecosystem. A tip for fellow travellers … this is open water snorkelling - if you cannot swim/aren’t comfortable in the water PlEASE let the crew know before they have to rescue you. (This did happen and the crew were consummate professionals and ever so patient in a situation which was totally avoidable with some basic communication from the travellers!
Nice outing for a day in Port Stephens

5.00I would absolutely recommend this tour. It's basically a Dolphin tour plus a stop at a island for swimming and snorkeling. The crew was very nice and organized and pointed out lots of fish on the snorkeling part. We saw lots of Dolphins coming and going. What I liked about the tour the most was that the boat your are on is not nearly as crowded as one of the larger boats that goes on Dolphin tours. There was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and space to move around, take photos and you don't feel like your squashed with a bunch of other people. They offer complimentary tea and coffee and there is a bar on board that offers drink and snacks for purchase. Would definitely recommend.
Great family day out
