We saw amazing wildlife on our trip: a massive pod of common dolphins as well as fur seals and a beautiful white breasted owl perched in a tree. The weather was amazing and the staff were friendly, professional and knowledgeable.

The sheer rawness of the Southern Ocean and the interesting facts about the sea. Tour guides were interesting and had great sense of humour.

Kane and Ange were perfect tour guides. We loved it, getting wet was the best. Seeing Mother Nature in her raw state, impressive’

Just spectacular. Must do. Experience wilderness. Exhilarating to be in a boat close to towering cliffs. Also saw dolphins and seals.

From being picked up in the city to being dropped off at home, the whole day was a fabulous experience. The weather was beautiful and the water, whilst a bit lumpy at times, was great fun. The island is full of history and the wombats a delight. Maria Island is a must see destination. Thanks to the staff who were all an amazing.

Remember the weather can totally affect your experience on an open speed boat. Several passengers were very sick with the scary waves and wind. The cliffs were stunning but I was really happy when the trip was over!
The captain was really trying to make the best of a rough sailing day.
I would ask about the weather conditions and only do this tour if you don’t get sea sick.
