First of all awesome staff service including captain. They look after very well. They provide every single information to each passenger on board. We saw dolphins,seals and whales. We were lucky on that day we got a chance to see all kinds of water creatures. Again my daughter felt sea sickness but staff helped very nice way. I will recommend everyone please come and get good experience.

It was memorable to say the least. At one stage, there were humpback whales, common dolphins and a seal. They were all feasting and frolicking. I filmed a dolphin swimming beside our vessel, just riding the waters. Then at San Remo saw the biggest sting ray of my life. Truly unforgettable and a treasured experience l shared with my son.

Although it was really thick fog and visibility was almost non existent the skipper managed to locate some whales as well as a nice sized pod of dolphins. It was well worth going and I would recommend this trip to anyone wanting to see the whales. We also saw some great scenery along the coast in one of the rare clear fog free spots.

Seasick, dizzy, and in tears at times—but seeing these incredible animals reminded me of Neil the Seal in Tasmania. Somehow, even out at sea, it felt like home.

Stepping aboard the Dolphin & Whale Cruise from Phillip Island was a truly unforgettable adventure. The fresh sea breeze and anticipation among fellow passengers set the tone as we cruised along the dramatic coastline. Within minutes, playful dolphins appeared at the bow, leaping and racing alongside the boat—an exhilarating sight that had everyone reaching for their cameras.

The expert crew provided fascinating commentary about the local marine life, making the experience both educational and engaging. As we sipped afternoon tea, the highlight arrived: a majestic humpback whale breached in the distance, its massive tail slapping the water, leaving us all in awe.
