Sometimes need warm clothes for first hour or so. It was interesting and fun. As well as the wild-life I enjoyed looking at the jetty construction work.

We thoroughly enjoyed the cruise and we also sighted some dolphins during the cruise. The view of sunset from the boat was excellent. The entire cruise was well organized with staff who were warm and welcoming. They were quite accommodating about our dietary restrictions for food and drinks. Our kids loved the whole experience.
Great morning in the bay

This was well worth doing. We not only saw the snub fin dolphins, but also saw lots of turtles, 2 humpback whales and dugong. The variety of snacks was a nice surprise and the staff were wonderful. We really enjoyed the fun tender ride to the main boat.
