Incredible experience - Fantastic crew did a great job, interactive & safe but kept it fun the whole time, the seals played with us the whole time blowing bubbles in our face showing us all there tricks. Thanks to deck hand Tom (I think) who gave us some videos he took from the boat and helped with my GoPro mid swim really appreciate it. The crew even tried to get us a second swim with the dolphins unfortunately they didn’t want to play but still added to the experience

A brilliant few hours to take in so much of the beauty of Kangaroo Island. - We all had a glorious day snorkeling and relaxing on the boat. Elijah was a fabulous skipper and he and Steph and Johnny were so warm and friendly. We saw dolphins, seals and loads of fish. We swam with the seals too! I highly recommend this tour with these guys. It was just brilliant.

Epic tour!! - What a fantastic tour and crew!! We all loved it. We got to see and swim with BOTH seals and dolphins. What a special day! We started out jumping in the water with a couple of playful seals and afterwards had a wonderful encounter with 5 dolphins. Very family-friendly tour.

Cold water eeeek - Lovely day, the staff were great. Brand new 5mm suits. I was very worried about getting into 14 degree water as I won’t even swim in a pool unless it’s like bath water. But the suits were very good. We have done many of these trips and you can not expect to see anything and only hope you do. We saw 4 seals lying on the rocks and was able to swim fairly close, also checking the fish out. Unfortunately we did not get to swim with dolphins, however did come across some and was able to get a pic of them under the boat. What I liked was it was only a short trip, only 10 mins till we saw the seals and 15 mins to next stop for dolphins. I have been on trips where you are in a boat for over an hour each way and don’t get to see anything. Definitely worth a shot. Well organised, nice people.

Nice snorkel trip - dolphins elusive - This snorkeling trip was pretty good- a bit hectic at start getting everyone fitted with wetsuits and fins, but once on boat we found some seals fairly quickly and swam around them for about 30 mins. This was best part of trip. Efforts to locate dolphins were less successful and once found they swam quickly away so we really didn’t get to swim with dolphins. You have to keep in mind that they are wild creatures and you may not get close to them. The advertising for this trip doesn’t make that super clear. Anyway it was a hot day and nice to be in the water!

Here tourists are led around by the nose - Absolutely not recommended!! In the less than 2 hours we saw a seal on which then 20 people jumped! She was looking for the distance! Instead of going back on board we were allowed to swim in the water for another 20 minutes! The very young crew of three was not motivated to look for dolphins after that, instead they talked and ran down time! Conclusion of a tour that is too expensive anyway (over 100€ for two hours) here tourists are led around by the nose!!! It would be fair if part of the money paid is refunded!!!
