It was absolutely marvelous, weather and boat conditions were great, guides were friendly, very knowledgeable and informative, and we saw many dolphins which was the highlight obviously, variety of birds, sea loins, and the penguins being fed! Everything we hoped for and enjoyed it. Definitely a must see and remember to take a picnic and bathers!

The tour was great ! The staff were friendly and professional and were able to answer any questions we had . The running commentary was extremely interesting as was the penguin sanctuary ! Would definately go again . Just very sad to know it will be closing shortly

The tour guide told us about the birds, stingrays, dolphins and seals that we saw. The boat trip was comfortable and we were in the shade. The views along the bay were beautifully scenic.

A great morning spent at a great natural marine park. Snorkeling and learning about the environment and wildlife frequenting this beautiful coastal spot.

Very interesting experience. The Guides were friendly and informative the seafood platter was awesome!
