Recommended - Lovely staff, friendly, welcoming. Jim was very knowledgeable, good commentary, saw a couple of dolphins within minutes of leaving the wharf. The trip was not rushed , in fact being last of the day, Jim gave us a little more time. Ship Graveyard interesting, plenty of photo opportunities.

A Wolderfull Day - It was a Well Informed afternoon on the water. It brought back many memories from my Adelaide Speedboat Days in the 1960s and the deterioration of the Wrecks The Dolphins were hard to find,but that is the luck of the Day
