After seeing The Big Duck Tours featured on TV, and seeing photos on their Facebook page, we decided the night before to book a tour for the next day, Sunday. We booked the Southern Ocean Adventure because we have always wanted to try and see Dolphins and Seals in their home. Well, we were not disappointed! We had Pods of Dolphins frolicking around the boat and Our tour guides Captain Kirk and Jessie were very informative about the mammals and the islands and areas that both seals and dolphins live, as well as some local history. The sea was a little choppy, but we enjoyed riding the waves and felt safe in the boat at all times. I would like to do the 4-hour tour next time, and possibly do a whale watching tour during the winter months. We thoroughly would recommend for any tourists either, international, visitors from interstate, or like us from Adelaide to add this on their must do list. It was fantastic.

The views were amazing, and the crew knowledgeable about all the set stops. The dolphins were the highlight with them swimming around the boat.

Great time out on the water - largest pod of dolphins I’ve ever seen! Coastline scenery was spectacular.

Great adventure. The boys Garry and Andrew were great and friendly. We saw everything advertised. The boat ride was fantastic. Would highly recommend doing this even if it was just for the ride alone. Would have done it again if I was still here.

It is a great tour and easy to fit in with other activities, we saw dolphins and seals and was just great seeing the area from the sea, there are some amazing cliffs and views. Crew are friendly with clear instructions. A great time on the ocean, would highly recommend.
