Absolutely amazing experience! My partner and I loved every minute of it. We saw dolphin who swam right alongside the boat, seals lounging on the rocks along the cliff face and White-Bellied Sea Eagles perched watching over the sea. I could not recommend this any higher and believe everyone who visits KI should experience it.

Every aspect of the tour was beautiful, the staff Illijah and Michael were skilled, friendly, and very knowledgeable. The boat was amazing and comfortable and exciting. We saw a pod of 30 dolphins, a seal and lots of bird life, highly recommended a must do if in the area.

Thank you for all your knowledge and passion for our amazing experience on Kangaroo Island, saw dolphins before we even left the bay, and to watch the seals swimming in the ocean made for an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended.

An excellent trip watching the dolphins off the coast of Kangaroo Island. Our guides were excellent and highly knowledgeable. Unlike other 'watching' trips we have done the guides did not chase the animals but allowed the boat to drift and the dolphins come along side us, just made gentle course corrections. A must do trip on KI!

Great experience, nice and informative guides. You don't drive too close to animals or even follow them. From my point of view, the animals are disturbed as little as possible and can decide for themselves how close they want to get. We had great weather and were able to see a group of dolphins, an eagle and a seal. Very nice tour.
