This was an amazing experience. Being able to see both dolphins and seals while snorkelling was absolutely amazing I do want to thank Elishja and Bonnie for being so amazing on the day. This was a must do on the island and I couldn't think of anybody better to do it with. Thank you again for such a wonderful experience.

Michael and Elijah were enthusiastic and worked hard to make all experiences possible. The dolphins kept teasing us but wouldn’t stay and play but we had multiple other treats. The seal was very happy to play with us. A pair of white chested sea eagles were impressive to see in action. Plenty of beautiful fish and reef life. The warm water wetsuit hose ensured we avoided hypothermia. No regrets braving the late April waters.

We had a great experience snorkelling with both seals and dolphins. The guides were knowledgeable, helpful, and raised the energy on a very gloomy weather day. Definitely would do again!

Incredible once-in-a-lifetime experience. The staff were incredible - they made us all feel safe and they were very knowledgeable. It was so amazing to see both seals and dolphins up close in the wild.

We had no trouble spotting two beautiful pods of dolphins including many calves! Some were striped showing that they were less than a week old. Others showed off for us by jumping or whacking the water with their flippers. It was pure delight. The seals were really fun as well - lounging on the rocks in the sun and sliding into the sea to play. We had a great experience.

Whilst many people had a "amazing" experience - we did not. The water temperature was 13 - 14 degrees and in spite of wetsuits we were freezing. We didn't see any wildlife underwater. We could see the dolphins on the surface but never got close enough to seen them underwater. We saw the seals on the rocks and playing with some of the snorklers under water but by that time we were so cold we weren't going in again. The staff were great - no complaints there. They gave us a hose with warm water to warm us up. They said the water was exceptionally cold because of an Antarctic current but we don't know how cold it is usually, or how often this happens.

Very enjoyable day, staff were great, not able to swim with dolphins due to calves, great commentary, I would recommend this tour.

Crew were excellent. We located a pod of approx 12 dolphins. As we approached we were informed that if a calf was with it's mother in the pod, we would NOT be permitted to enter the water to swim with the dolphins. The booking website does not make this information clear. We them went to another site, entered the water where 1 seal was sunbaking on a rock. End result was it turned out a very expensive snorkel, where we only observed seagrass & a few small fish. I emailed the company advising them that as calfs often remain with their mother for 3 years or more, they needed to advise the public at the time of booking that swimming with the dolphins was not allowed whilst a calf was in the pod. I did NOT receive a reply .......... disappointing. Bob
