Such an amazing place. Our tour guide Scotty was very knowledgeable and made the tour experience. The cruise was incredible with amazing views so beautiful and the dolphins were so cute. We even got to sea seal pups in the rock pools living the life! Would definitely do this again

The cruise was unforgettable, and the views were absolutely magnificent. A big thanks to Judy, our guide, for coming back to our accommodation to return my son's favourite toy that he had left in the vehicle.
