Tania 12 July 2023

We had a great experience, we were lucky enough to see a whale, a dozen or so dolphins and a few seals.

Amazing to see the Dolphins and Whale.

Gen 4 July 2023

Amazing to see the Dolphins and Whale several times within an hour. Along with a playful seal and several penguins on our way back to San Remo.

Bucket list day!

Ashley 2 July 2023

The team went above and beyond to ensure we saw the whales! Communicating with other boats in the area, we were able to see some swimming around. The crew extended our tour on the way back, so we could see a pair surfacing to the top. 10/10 experience! Dress warmly as the best views are from the outside!

Dolphin and Whale Watching Cruise:Phillip Island.

Kathryn 2 July 2023

Thanks to John and his crew for a true “bucket list” experience. We managed to see a number of Humpback Whales breaching just off Phillip Island. This was after a pod of dolphins followed our boat. We were also greeted by a few cheeky seals who popped up to say hello. The sea was very choppy so I recommend any would-be whale watchers to take sea sickness medication before leaving dry land. Afternoon tea was offered but mostly declined. Dress warmly as the best views are to be had outside. The crew are gorgeous: informative, helpful and kind. Would I do it again? In a heartbeat! Thank you Wildlife Coast Cruises. You are absolute stars!

Absolutely wonderful family experience!

Jessica 3 July 2022

Absolutely incredible family experience!! 10/10 recommend! Also recommend taking sick tablets before departure

Cassie 2 July 2022

Crew and staff were nice and assertive, great system in trying to find the whales using other boats also out on cruises, was a really fun day.
