The cruise was great! There was a little bit of rain but the boat was covered and that did jot affect us that much. The scenary was beautiful and we got to see a few wildlife as well. Well worth the price. Coffee and cake were delicious too!

The cruise was great. Although the inclusions mentioned cake with tea or coffee, we only received cake. Some staff members were not very friendly. Other than that, the scenery and the one-hour ride were enjoyable. The Penguin Parade was a bit of a disappointment. If you really want to see the penguins clearly, I’d recommend purchasing premium tickets, the view from there is much better I believe . The general viewing area wasn’t good at all; we could barely see anything, only shadows.

Marvel at the rugged coastline and the towering granite cliffs of Cape Woolamai rising majestically from the sea on this 1-hour morning cruise.

Keep an eye out for dolphins swimming in the water or fur seals laying on a rock under the sun.

Snack on delicious cake and coffee and marvel at the dramatic sea caves along the breathtaking shoreline while listening to live commentary about the region’s geography and past..

Did you know? Cape Woolamai hosts the largest short-tailed shearwater colony, where over a million seabirds nest and take flight each year!

The Cape Woolamai morning cruise was a genuinely memorable experience and a perfect way to see Phillip Island from a different perspective. Cruising past the dramatic granite cliffs while learning about the coastline from the local guide made the hour feel both relaxing and engaging. The commentary struck a great balance between being informative and easy to follow, and it added real depth to what we were seeing rather than feeling scripted or rushed. The highlight for me was spotting marine life so close to the boat, particularly watching stingrays glide effortlessly through the water and seeing seabirds perched high along the cliffs. The smaller details also made a big difference to the overall experience. Having tea, coffee, and cake on board created a warm, welcoming atmosphere and made the cruise feel well thought out rather than purely transactional. Birdwatching was surprisingly rewarding, with plenty of opportunities to spot gannets and other coastal birds, and the views back toward the Phillip Island Bridge were beautiful in the morning light. The crew were friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the local environment, which really enhanced the experience. Finishing the morning by heading over to the San Remo Fisherman’s Co-Op to watch the pelican feeding was the perfect complement to the cruise. Learning about the pelicans’ diet, lifestyle, and conservation efforts tied everything together and reinforced how special this area is. Overall, the Cape Woolamai morning cruise is a fantastic option for anyone who enjoys nature, wildlife, and relaxed coastal scenery, and I would happily recommend it to families, couples, or anyone visiting Phillip Island.
