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.

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.

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...

Awesome experience!
I took my three children and best friend today without letting them know what they were getting themselves into. They begun to freak out but the instructors were absolutely amazing! Talented, calm, kind and funny. Jake was professional but also very funny. We enjoyed learning from him

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.
