Great experience
Friendly and helpful staff. I have been twice and both times were different bit equally enjoyable. They work with what wildlife is there at the time, getting you as close as possible and informing you with many interesting facts.

Wonderful trip
The crew were so helpful and knowledgeable. On a calm grey evening cruise we still saw heaps of wildlife. We would love to do again when more of the big birds are expected to be returning from their long flights. Wonderful trip.
