This was an amazing experience. Being able to see both dolphins and seals while snorkelling was absolutely amazing I do want to thank Elishja and Bonnie for being so amazing on the day. This was a must do on the island and I couldn't think of anybody better to do it with. Thank you again for such a wonderful experience.

Michael and Elijah were enthusiastic and worked hard to make all experiences possible. The dolphins kept teasing us but wouldn’t stay and play but we had multiple other treats. The seal was very happy to play with us. A pair of white chested sea eagles were impressive to see in action. Plenty of beautiful fish and reef life. The warm water wetsuit hose ensured we avoided hypothermia. No regrets braving the late April waters.

We had a great experience snorkelling with both seals and dolphins. The guides were knowledgeable, helpful, and raised the energy on a very gloomy weather day. Definitely would do again!

Incredible once-in-a-lifetime experience. The staff were incredible - they made us all feel safe and they were very knowledgeable. It was so amazing to see both seals and dolphins up close in the wild.

We had no trouble spotting two beautiful pods of dolphins including many calves! Some were striped showing that they were less than a week old. Others showed off for us by jumping or whacking the water with their flippers. It was pure delight. The seals were really fun as well - lounging on the rocks in the sun and sliding into the sea to play. We had a great experience.
