5.00Daimo and his team member were amazing. It was wonderful experience to learnt the history of Wilson prom national park, saw the cute seals, checked out the amazing skull Rock, and on the way back, we have saw the whale too! It’s one trip worth for so many great experiences! Kids love the experience and want to come back.

5.00Fantastic, well organized tour of the Wilson's Promontory where we saw a humpback whale, a lively seal colony, sea eagle's nests, and Skull Island. With ginger tabs ready to mitigate sea sickness and red water proof jackets to keep off the spray, it is a highly recommended tour

5.00An absolutely wonderful activity. To see the beautiful Wilson’s Prom from the sea is such a privilege. All the staff were fantastic. Our skipper told us so much about the land, past and present, the sea and the islands, the animals and vegetation. We had a bit of a swell also, which made for an exciting ride. An absolute “to do” trip.
An absolute must

5.00On a result trip to Wilson's Promontory, we went on the Wanderer Wilderness Tour around Wilson's Promontory. Weather was a little bit rough, and everybody was warned before we left. Fantastic trip with some amazing scenery. Went along the coast down to the light house with a couple of stops and commentary at each stop Went out to the islands to see the seal colony's and were able to take many photos close up. Then, we went to skull Rock, which is enormous and fantastic Staff were fantastic and were always checking on passengers Would highly reccomend
Even good on a rough day

5.00A fantastic adventure from start to finish and was well looked after. Our guides were Damien and Ash and they were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. A great view of the Promontory from the sea and the Skull Rock. A beautiful National Park with lots to do and explore but don't miss the cruise if you want to see the bird life, sea life, chance to sea dolphins and whales (at migration months) and the nature at its finest form the water.
Great Fun even in High winds!

5.00We went out on a windy day, and negotiating the Bass Strait was a little tricky but the skipper Damo and Ella did an amazing job! He was also very informative and I loved hearing the stories! We did a get a little wet and the sea was rough but that is part of the experience. I do think people need to read reviews properly as there appeared to be people on the boat who didn't realise that it could be a bit rocky. I particularly appreciated them recognising that I was limping that day and offering me a lift in their buggy down to the beach.
Wonderful experience
