We were not able to do the eco boat cruise because we were at the wrong port. (Our NCL cruise ship was not the same port, I did not read it correctly and we did not have transportation available. So we were disappointed.

We booked this cruise and have enjoyable time riding Eco boat to sight the Seals and Dolphin. It was a smooth guided tour come with explanation along the way.

Marlon was extremely knowledgeable and patient with us. My mum doesn't speak English and he let me translate the knowledge he shared during the trip. He is a great navigator and knew how to approach the waves so the tour was smooth and fun! We were extremely lucky to see a bunch of dolphins on our way back. He also taught us a lot about the area - the seals and birds were really fun to watch.

We got to see Dolphins close up to the boat and lots of seals and bird life. It was awesome and Marlon was very informative and a good host.

It was a really cute experience. The boat ride on its own is really nice with beautiful views. We were lucky enough to spot dolphins swimming around and the staff went beyond their way to make sure we dont miss out. The guide was so friendly and gave many stories and facts about the monuments around the bay. We spent time near the seals and it was honestly very entertaining to see them interact with eaach other. The trip didnt feel too short or too long. Its definitely worth trying out.

Highly recommend this tour! We saw lots of dolphins soon after we left the pier and had the chance to take plenty of videos and admire them from up close in their natural habitat. They came very close to the boat a few times, too, which was so special! We then went on the rest of the tour which included admiring the stunning peninsula from the sea, learning about the history of the area and about its wildlife. We saw many birds, a stingray and the fur seals which are just the cutest - such goofy, funny animals! Our guides Marlon and Kristen were very knowledgeable and friendly, making the experience super laid back and fun. We particularly enjoyed learning about Aboriginal tales and facts, thanks for sharing! Being on the small boat was also great as it made the experience more personal. If you're ever in the Peninsula, make sure to check this tour out! Raissa and Gui

This little cruise was a highlight of our stay on the Mornington Peninsula. Seeing the dolphins swimming nearby, and watching the seals and various sea birds lying and sitting about on their own little sanctuaries out in the bay, made for a very interesting and memorable time. Also the tour guide, Marlon, is so friendly, professional, and knowledgable, it is a pleasure to encounter him. Highly recommended activity. From Vanessa and Trever.

This was a great trip around the bay. We have a house In Blairgowire but had never been on a boat and this was a really excellent way to see the bay. The crew were fantastic with great local knowledge. We also saw some dolphins which was a highlight. We will be back to do the snorkel trip next time. Michael
