Overall a beautiful day out on Port Phillip Bay. We did see dolphins, seals and various birds at Pope Marine Park. Boat arrived late, as in 30 minutes, despite us getting numerous messages to be there at 11.45am.

The view was amazing. We took so many pictures and my little one was really happy coz he said mum boat was really fast. We enjoyed a lot and we will visit again……

Irresponsible team, called many times, sent voice message 2 hours before depart, looking for support but never heard from them. We missed our trip. I believe at least they have to be respond. We paid for it. Customer Service is zero.

Polperro were amazing, the team so knowledgeable and friendly. We were put onto their boat last minute, which saved the day. My partner swam and loved it, said the experience with the seals was incredible. I sat safely on the boat and enjoyed every minute. So many up close on the boat of both seals and dolphins. Was the perfect amount of time, lovely hot drinks and scones. We will be back as bring out boys for this years birthday presents.

First of all i’ll give tripadvisor a one star and never going to book my plans with them, on a day we had booking it was no 3 hours cruise just 90 minutes and the time tripadvisor confirmed was 1:00pm, I took my 2 and 3 years old on a sun from 12:30 but after half an hour waiting and seeing no cruise I rang the company and they told me you don't have any booking with us at all, finally after long conversation over the phone they found out tripadvisor just sold us the ticket without any booking with the moonraker company. Any way after 1 hour waiting they fit us on a 90 minutes cruise and we haven't seen any dolphins by our ends. The only thing I can say is they have a friendly and nice crews otherwise It was our second time with this company and haven't seen any dolphins never go back and not recommend at all specially booking with tripadvisor.

Saw the $85 sightseeing package on booking.com and thought it was only a sightseeing service. In fact we were joined with people who are going for swim. And for the 2hours we were waiting on the boat under the sun as the boat is not shaded. The most upset thing is that there were not enough seats (too many people at the same boat) and most of the seats are very wet because the people swimming are seating with the sightseeing person. Really don’t recommend anyone to spend $85 for “sightseeing”. Just a waste of money and time waiting for people swimming. Booking.com should take this misleading sightseeing down.

Whilst I enjoyed being out on the bay, this was not a sightseeing cruise. Instead it was all about the swim tour.

Miranda_M

The crew were amazing. Great communication and very professional. All were happy to answer any question and accomodate any need. Luckily all the passengers seemed like lovely people. It felt like a very shared experience. My mum whose 82nd birthday it was had a look of pure joy on her face. Especially with the hot mocha and watching those beautiful dolphins and seals. Thank you all for a totally memorable experience.
