Geraldton cray pot pull - This was a great boat trip so interesting to see how the professional fisherman do it and to top it off we got crayfish! The boat was very comfortable not rough. Easy to see what was going on and hear the shouts of delight when a pot came up full. Great job skipper Jay and also the deckies :) I highly recommend. It was lovely coming back into harbour with sun shining on Sydney memorial and if you are lucky you might see seals or dolphins

5 star. Second to none service! - Just a few photos of our amazing trip of the abrolhos islands. 40 minute flight from geraldton to the abrolhos islands. Took the tender to our amazing ship for a 3 day cruise. Fishing, snorkeling, swimming, island hopping to learn about the inhabitants of each island. (120 in total although a lot are teeny tiny)Very educational and a big shout out to the whole crew for a very memorable holiday. These guys couldnt do enough for us. 2nd to none service and each and everyone of the crew is extremely knowledgeable about the islands! A HUGE shout out to Johnny the chef for spoiling us with his culinary delights. It is very clear that he loves to cook as it truly shows in his presentation and flavour. How often can food give you an emotional release...this guy has it covered..that's mission accomplished right there. Just yum yum yum every meal! Also a HUGE shout out to Jay the boss for his amazing knowledge and his beautiful ship!! Our whole group (12 of us) were extremely happy and left with FABULOUS memories!

EcoAbrolhos - My wife and I enjoyed their inaugural seafood and wine cruise in the Abrolhos and it was to die for. The many activities were their to enjoy or not at your leisure. Snorkeling, fishing, walking, history and the food was exceptional. Johnny prepared meals that were varied, thoughtful and delicious. With staff at a ratio of 1 for 3 guests nothing was too hard or anything a problem. My wife Jess had a broken foot and was cared and catered for tenderly and with respect. Jay and Sonia ( the owners) and their son Bronson completely for filled their mantra of “a family business” for all to enjoy. Thanks to you all from Danny and Jess.

Rare and unique cruising experience. - My wife and I enjoyed our 5 nights small group eco friendly cruise on the Echo Abrolhos to the Abrolhos Island immensely. The crew and guides were engaging, helpful and friendly. The boat is quite old but well maintained and upgraded. Has loads of old world charm and character and is large and spacious. Our cabin on the bridge deck was spacious, clean and comfortable with private en-suite and air conditioning. There were plenty of activities every day for guests to participate in including fishing, viewing coral, snorkelling, lobster pulls, nature walks or if inclined just relaxing on the boat. The Echo Abrolhos has five tender boats including a large professional fishing boat, two dive boats and two glass bottomed boats to ensure a variety of activities for all tastes. The food was excellent with a well chosen menu with plenty of variety for all tastes. Of course meals were loaded more with fresh seafood as fish and lobster was caught every day. The guides and crew were very respectful and mindful of the natural environment and all activities structured accordingly. We highly recommend the Eco Abrolhos 5 day cruise for a fantastic experience.

Five day Abrolhos Eco Tour - I enjoyed many amazing experiences, a part of Australia that everyone must see, get here before the secret gets out. Snorkeling on the Batavia wreck site, getting on the islands, Our tour guides, Paul, Jay and Bronson have a wealth of knowledge, and made sure we didn’t miss a thing, daily pulling the cray pots, catching bald chin groper, emperor, snapper etc. The chef Johnny did them justice too, No shortage of super fresh food, cooked many different ways, no empty plates!! Deck hands, tender skippers, glass bottom boats, snorkel guides and all the girls did a great job too. Flora, fauna, Jane’s Pearl farm on the lagoon, snorkeling on the reefs, swimming with sea lions, dolphins off the bow, sunset drinks on the shore and on the top deck. Quiz and movie nights and a well stocked bar. My room was good too, not that I spent much time in it. The Abholhos is nature’s secret playground, and I couldn’t imagine a better bunch of people to show me around it. Well done guys 12/10.

If you’re a cray fan... you can not go past this trip! - I found this activity by chance on a quick stopover to Geraldton, and I’m so glad I did! Jay and his team were amazing. They talked us through what they look for when catching cray, and a few things that we didn’t know about them. They were a fun, happy and cruisy crew to spend the morning with. We were offered five cray each after the trip, but couldn’t use them all cause we were travelling! But we took enough for a great feast! Jay was hospitable plus. He went above and beyond to make sure we were all sorted. These guys do cruises as well. And after today, we’ll start saving the pennies to get on one because there’s no doubt that they’ll look after you after what we experienced. Thank you for an awesome morning!

An experience not be be missed! - As a visitor from Canada the opportunity to pull crayfish pots is a unique activity. I could not selected a more professional, knowledgeable but more importantly enthusiastic captain and crew to head out with on the King Diver. Jay is a seasoned cray fisherman of 30 yrs and it shows in his detailed knowledge and understanding of the cray fish biology and industry, (in the land based world he would be considered a "Subject Matter Expert" When the captain and crew are eagerly anticipating each pot coming over the side and are excited with the results it is easy to get caught up in the moment. As the rock lobster fishery is a certified sustainable fishery, keeping a few crays for diner was not a problem. I have no hesitation in recommending this activity if you are solo or with friends and family. I would return in a heartbeat. Cheers

Lobster Pot Pull, a great tour demonstrating how the lobster business operates. - The lobster Pot Pull tour was a great experience, and the crew were fantastic explaining the difference between male and female lobsters 🦞 pulling in the pots. The ocean was a little rough and the lobster pots did not produce many, 6 in total but we all got a feed or two and I would definitely recommend the tour. Thank you Eco Abrolhos Tours
