Magical Adventure.
It was a hoot. The kelp is abundant & healthy, along with the multiple other colouricious life forms. It was so beautiful and I felt safe. Loved being so close to fish I didn’t know, and the playful, acrobatic seals in their own territory, the open sea. Our guide, Jake, had much historical knowledge, obvious experience & insight about the entire area, which enriched my experience. Learning new kick and duck-diving techniques was a bonus as I’m self-taught and have only recently begun wearing wetsuits, and never such a thick, warm & buoyant one. It was all a magical learning adventure. I’ll be back.

Amazing!
I don’t know about you, but when I was a kid visiting the zoo I loved to check in on the seals. More than anything I wanted to jump into the water with them. Well the trip out to Popes Eye was even better than I could have imagined and if I’m being a bit corny, the fulfilment of a childhood dream. We were blessed with calm waters and sparkling visibility and the swim was brilliant. I’m no athlete and it was a sinch getting in and out of the boat and I felt very safe in the water. Apart from the seals - who were playful and easy to see - there was a myriad of colourful aquatic life and beautiful golden kelp and bright sea sponges. Highly recommend. Ridiculously good value for money.

5 minutes seal swim
At the moment we arrived yo the seals, we already was called out. When we told the crew that it's ridicules that this is the amount of time they let for the experience, they gave weird explanations. Luckily i didn't dive because the dive was 15 minutes for 4 meter maximum depth. That's just sad...

Can’t wait to go again
Great crew who made sure everyone felt comfortable, safe and welcome. Easy pick up at Portsea. The weather was choppy on the day I went, but we still got to see some seals.

Lovely afternoon outing on the bay
We had a really nice time on the tour, great crew, quite safety conscious. Unfortunately, current on the outside of Popes eye was a bit strong to allow much snorkelling out there, inside very easy and shallow. Seal swim at Chinamans hat was brief but gets you very close to them in the water, again easy and shallow.
