Awesome experience - Extremely friendly staff! Made us feel very welcomed, was great to see so many dolphins up close, my daughter absolutely loved it! Skipper even gave her a little drive of the boat and she was over the moon!! 100% recommend!

Beautiful excursion - It was a nice boat trip. At first it was warmer than expected, but later really windy. Relatively late we could really see dolphins very close to the ship. A very nice experience.

Do it! - Idealic day, a well organised and catered for cruise and a well trained onshore and on cruise crew. We will do another tour next time we're in Huskisson

Nature at it's finest - The boat trip out to the bay area over near point perpendicular was nice and calm. The views of the cliffs and rock faces was lovely. Beautiful scenery. And last of all the dolphins arrived just when we thought we wouldn't see any. Amazing ♥️

Unclear meeting point - We almost missed the ship. We followed the instruction and the instruction clearly states the meeting point is the corner of portside cafe. Actually there are two portside cafe and there is a ship at each of the corner of cafe. At the gate of such ship clearly states it is Wild Limited. But the truth is the ship was on the other corner, which confused more than 10 people waiting in the wrong corner at a raining day!

3 dolphins , 3 seconds - Nice ride on the water, unfortunately only 3 dolphins seen too short. Ride on the coast long was nice.

It was meh - The whole cruise went for 1.5hrs & out of that time, we spent about 15 minutes in the boom net, & the net was over crowded. I wouldn’t do it again

Worst experience - We paid $52 each, and honestly it felt like a waste of time and money. The cruise boat was very old and the toilets were extremely dirty. We booked the 1.5-hour cruise, but most of the time was just spent travelling. It took about 1 hour and 10 minutes just to go and come back. When we finally reached the area where dolphins are usually seen, we only saw one or two dolphins for about five seconds and that was it. Overall, it was very disappointing and I wouldn’t recommend this cruise.
