“Excellent eco-friendly operator with passion!”

Reviewed 24 May 2012

We recently experienced swam with the sea-lions and cage dived with the great whites with Matt from Adventure Bay Charters. What an experience! This guy knows his stuff, and is so passionate it's infectious. The sea-lions are the coolest animal ... so playful and intelligent! Seeing the sharks in their natural environment is quite eerie, and definitely a once in... More

“Average”

Reviewed 16 April 2012

My rating reflects the way I would describe the experience - average. I chose to go with the eco-friendly option, but it's hard to believe the vibration of music concept works when we are anchored within the same area of the competitors vessel using bait. I did get to see two sharks, however I was disappointed they were so far... More

Unfortunatley we were unaware of your concerns. You only pay the $100 if you are satisfied with the experience. We have had very successful days when there is no berly about but it comes down to what the sharks want to do on the day. Thank you for your compliments about our staff as they are very passionate about what... More

“Adventure Bay Charters Shark Dive”

Reviewed 15 April 2012

person found this review helpful

This type of dive is going to be judged on one thing - did we see sharks? We saw at least 3 sharks on this dive and the experience was amazing, a personal dream of mine for many years. The boat itself is not as big or modern as the main competitors, Calypso Bay, but it was ok for the... More

“So disappointing”

Reviewed 28 March 2012 via mobile

people found this review helpful

So after paying what I imagined to be a fair and reasonable price to go cage diving with the sharks, and after waiting a lifetime to see them, and then traveling from Victoria I was terribly disappointed and let down by the whole experience. The charter started late, waiting in the dark and cold at six thirty like instructed and... More

“Great fun but....”

Reviewed 16 February 2012

person found this review helpful

Having such an exciting adventure kept me in anticipation for weeks prior to the visit but at the end of the day I was strangely left a little unimpressed. Sure the crew were great and friendly, the sharks turned up and we had some great encounters. That can not be disputed but.... I was not really aware nor prepared for... More

We happy to hear that you enjoyed the shark experience with our crew and that you saw sharks. We are however sorry that the experience was not as you expected but unfortunately that is the nature of wild life experiences and to some degree the thrill of this incredible opportunity. We have taken your concerns about the timing and the... More

The experience was awesome and lots of fun, it was a great opportunity to get up close with the sea lions in their own enviornment. The tour operators were great, with lots of local knowledge of the area and during... More

“Great family trip”

Reviewed 16 January 2012

After a minor stuff up with a booked private charter ended up being the only group on the boat (which was 21 of us, so still pretty full). The regular guide was away but the replacements knew their stuff. Boat was great but could have had a bit more ventilation - hard to decide on whether to get a bit... More
