We had such a great time today doing the swimming with dolphins and seals. The team gave such so much time swimming with the dolphins and seals ensuring we could spend as much time with them as possible, whilst given interesting information about the animals and geographic of the island. And respecting the natural habitat of these wonderful animals. Thanks guys for such an amazing experience!

THIS WAS A BUCKET LIST EXPERIENCE. It was absolutely magical and even before we found the dolphins, getting to dive underwater and look at the beautiful big diverse fish and jellyfish was astounding. We saw seals on the rocks too. The crew were hilarious and upbeat, but of course very informative and professional, making it a completely perfect time. We will be participating again. Thanks so much Bonnie, Matt, and Elijah.

Amazing time swimming with the seals and dolphins appeared briefly. Highly recommended the swim as the seals are so curious at you so you get a close up view of them. The coral and many other fish are a bonus. Also seeing 2 white breasted sea eagles on our way back. Weather was perfect thanks to the crew for an amazing time. Paul and Fiona.
