Jenny is an amazing local guide! Lots of great info and good plans. And it feels comfortable staying with her. I feel my payment is really worth it. And other tourists are amazing too! The number of the tourists is really good. A small group is enough and it’s enjoyable.

We were by ourselves for this tour so integrated with winery and springs tour group. Ray worked the two tours in perfectly and we felt very special, just us and our amazing tour guide. Had a really great day and Melbourne turned on beautiful weather. Thanks so much. Sheila & David from Perth.

Very well run operation, staff friendly and helpful. The wetsuit and snorkel gear was in good condition. The seals put on a great show, swimming right up to us and playing. The stingrays, banjo sharks and port Jackson sharks visited as well. An excellent experience, well worth the money.
