We had the time of our lives. My husband received the cruise as an 80th birthday gift from his family. He described it as the best present he'd ever received. The crew was friendly and very helpful. The captain was extremely capable and the itinerary was ideal. In spite of our age and my dodgy knees, we were brave enough... More

Wildlife Coast Cruises I took this tour as an option through Gray Line tour company (Grand Penguins & Seals tour), and I did confirm the booking the night before when the girl checked that the cruise was going ahead as of that time. You are heading out into rough seas so if the tour has been called off it is... More

Wildlife Coast cruises put on a special cruise to circumnavigate Phillip Island. They did this because the sea was forecast to be quite calm and this is the time of the year when whales are often around. We were very lucky to meet up with 2 Humpback whales, and later a third. The whales were very curious and came right... More

We booked our tickets ahead of time, booked the "super special" so they were $45 each. Well, the day before our trip we were told that it would probably be cancelled due to weather,... More

The Seal Cruises offer amazing wildlife experiences with thousands of seals only meters away, and the back up Cape Cruise which offers amazing scenery along with regular dolphin & seal sights as well. As the Seal Watching Cruise operates into open waters, it can be canceled at times due to sea conditions, the cheap tickets mentioned in the review (Super... More

I booked a seal watching cruise whilst my son and his girl friend were visiting from the UK. On the website I was pleased to find an advance booking offer of $45 per person as opposed to the normal $67. On the day of our cruise, as we were already on our from Melbourne to Phillip island, I received a... More
