What to expect

Come aboard a two-hour wildlife cruise off the rugged coast of Phillip Island and encounter thousands of seals at Australia's largest fur seal colony, Seal Rocks! Be enthralled at the sight and sound of 5,000+ fur seals close up as your boat drifts in the shelter of Bass Strait. Watch the seals lounging on the rocks and swimming in the bays, or take photos of them basking in the sun or popping their heads out of the water near your boat. While admiring the adorable creatures in their natural environment, take in the fascinating scenic coastline of the island. Capture images of the waves breaking in the mouth of the famous Nobbies Cave and the island's flora and fauna. After spending some time with seals, begin your relaxed journey back to shore as you indulge in the complimentary tea or coffee!

Review for: 2-Hour Seal Watching Cruise

The crew was very friendly and helpful, taking good care of everyone, especially those who were feeling unwell. The waves were quite large, making it easy to get seasick. There were plenty of seals to see, which was spectacular.

Review for: 2-Hour Seal Watching Cruise

is a great experience but basically it just ferry you to the seal location to observe what the seals are doing, most of them just laying there dead. is quiet a distance away and you need a super telephoto lens with at least 300mm to get a close up shots. coffee and tea with biscuit and cakes are provided. sea sick medicine is recommended.

Review for: 2-Hour Seal Watching Cruise

This experience was one of the best on our entire trip and therefore deserves 5 stars in all categories! From the transport on a well-equipped ship with very friendly staff to the trip to the Seals Rocks and observing the seals up close, everything was perfect. And the price is great too. The only thing is that the trip itself on the sea is often very shaky because there are a lot of waves. But that's not anyone's fault. Clearly recommended if you're on Phillip Island

Review for: 2-Hour Seal Watching Cruise

the tour was very arranged with pre-event email warning about the forecasted weather and sea condition. The crew really took care of all of us especially for those with sea sick (it was a very choppy morning). The seals were amazing and an unforgetable experience.

Very prompt services and a very unique experience! Although it is windy day, the captain and his team did a fantastic job stabilising the boat and ensuring we had a good time!

really amazing experience. the boat ride is very rocky as the waves are huge but seeing so many seals at the end makes it all worth it!

Review for: 2-Hour Seal Watching Cruise

I had an amazing time on the seal cruise! The crew was incredibly friendly and attentive, constantly checking in to make sure no one felt seasick, which was much appreciated. The free refreshments were a nice touch as well. Despite some potentially rough patches, the cruise ship was large and stable, so I didn’t feel seasick at all. It was a smooth and enjoyable experience from start to finish!
