Amazing day out, very knowledgeable and friendly crew
Unforgettable and exceptional!
So good. Great atmosphere created with the music and then being in contemplative silence. Was wonderful to see the best of nature in a relaxed environment without noisy engines. Great team that made you feel safe and at ease on the water. Definitely going again sometime. Cheers for making it so special team.
Take my mum here everytime she visits and we love it

Spectacular!!!! Must do !!!!
This cruise was the most amazing experience ever. We saw dolphins, seals, 3 penguins, albatross and many other birds. The sailor gave us so much information, it was awesome. There were only a few of us on the yacht so wasn't crammed at all. Seriously a MUST DO.
