This is a wonderful boat trip run by such a friendly & efficient crew of people. It was terrific seeing so much wildlife like dolphins, seals, eagles & even a whale in the distance. The scenery was breathtaking & I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone.
Possibly one of the best days of my life. The staff were kind, accomodating and exceedingly knowledgeable of the area. We saw 14 whales, 2 pods of dolphins, spotted a sea eagle and its nest and saw seals aplenty. The whales stole the day though. Damian and Jas were just so professional but also warm. Janice in the office was also very professional and made checking in and getting organised so easy!
Fantastic experience with our travel guide Pete. Pete was very informative and made our travel journey smooth and fun. He was extremely interactive and eloquent.
We had a wonderful day trip to Wilsons Promontory! Our guide, Michael, was super friendly, patient, and attentive. He took great care of everyone and made the whole trip smooth and enjoyable. The group atmosphere was relaxed and fun, and everyone had a great time together. It was such a lovely and memorable experience. Highly recommended!
Had a blast doing this tour in Wilson's Prom! It was just the right amount of walking/hiking/chill time for a full day. Kurtis is an excellent guide — great energy, good vibes :)
Incredibly beautiful part of the world. Great to be driven there and back by a knowledgeable, friendly, helpful guide, stopping at the best bakery in Victoria in the way, and enjoying lunch at the top of Mount Oberon with breath taking views.
Amazing whale watching trip. The staff were knowledgeable, caring and made the experience highly enjoyable.
The boat ride was absolutely wonderful. The big waves was one of the highlights of the boat trip. Howie and crew were amazing with spotting of the whales and dolphins. I would recommend everyone to give it a try. It was definitely worth it.
Best day of my entire life!!! The boat, the customer service, the experience at Refuge Cove, the food - all perfect!! Seals, dolphins, birds, caves, the lighthouse it has the lot
