Great outing - Elijah and Michael were great fun as well as being absolutely professional at all times. They ensured our safety at all times. Although the dolphins decided not to come and play with the snorkelers, Elijah got the boat in a position where we could see the pod of 9 dolphins which included 3 calves so clearly it was probably better than getting into the water! They hung around so lots of time for pictures and admiring their behavior. Michael explained all sorts of details about them which was fascinating. He also told us geological facts and pointed out two magnificent white bellied sea eagles. We had a great time

A must do on Kangaroo Island. - This was an amazing experience. Being able to see both dolphins and seals while snorkelling was absolutely amazing I do want to thank Elishja and Bonnie for being so amazing on the day. This was a must do on the island and I couldn't think of anybody better to do it with. Thank you again for such a wonderful experience.

A great challenge. Came home smiling - Michael and Elijah were enthusiastic and worked hard to make all experiences possible. The dolphins kept teasing us but wouldn’t stay and play but we had multiple other treats. The seal was very happy to play with us. A pair of white chested sea eagles were impressive to see in action. Plenty of beautiful fish and reef life. The warm water wetsuit hose ensured we avoided hypothermia. No regrets braving the late April waters.

10/10 would recommend - We had a great experience snorkelling with both seals and dolphins. The guides were knowledgeable, helpful, and raised the energy on a very gloomy weather day. Definitely would do again!

Outstanding viewing of dolphins and seals! - We had no trouble spotting two beautiful pods of dolphins including many calves! Some were striped showing that they were less than a week old. Others showed off for us by jumping or whacking the water with their flippers. It was pure delight. The seals were really fun as well - lounging on the rocks in the sun and sliding into the sea to play. We had a great experience.

Very cold! - Whilst many people had a "amazing" experience - we did not. The water temperature was 13 - 14 degrees and in spite of wetsuits we were freezing. We didn't see any wildlife underwater. We could see the dolphins on the surface but never got close enough to seen them underwater. We saw the seals on the rocks and playing with some of the snorklers under water but by that time we were so cold we weren't going in again. The staff were great - no complaints there. They gave us a hose with warm water to warm us up. They said the water was exceptionally cold because of an Antarctic current but we don't know how cold it is usually, or how often this happens.
