What a wonderful experience! The captain and crew were informative and delivered as expected. The cruise was not overly loaded which is always good for any confined journey. When the whales eventually appeared, the passion and excitement of the crew were so heartwarming.

Hi

Hi, we were absolutely thrilled by our experience the crew from wildlife coast Cruises was really amazing and involved in our experience. They were friendly and informative. The food and refreshments were good too. My wife has posted pictures and written about it on her FB account asking friends from overseas to visit us here and enjoy the unique and beautiful Australian wildlife. Cheers!

A wonderful time viewing hundreds of seals at seal rock

A wonderful time viewing hundreds of seals at seal rock. Many swim right up to the boat, plenty of time to get good photos. Albatross sightings and pods of dolphins racing alongside our boat, on our way to find whales. Quite a few humpback whale sightings. The crew gave interesting commentary on whale facts and did their best to get as close as the whale would allow where we were given plenty of time to watch, then continued on to Cape Woolamai to view amazing coastal cliffs. Along the way, cake for morning tea is served, then lunch consisting of very fresh, yummy sandwiches, soup and bread roll with butter, all brought to each passenger. Hot drinks and snacks available too. Rug up and take a motion sickness tablet half an hour before the trip if you are concerned about choppy seas. It worked well for me. Excellent experience. Can't wait to go again.

Seas around Phillip Island can be quite choppy, so if you're prone to seasickness be sure to take a motion sickness pill before setting out - your guides will be able to provide you with one!
