Safari Marino VIP: Snorkel Inolvidable en Isla Canguro

What an amazing trip with Elijah and crew! We swam with seals and dolphins. The staff could not have been more helpful or informative. Such a relaxing and fun experience.

Lovely crew. However a’ 2 hour swim’ as advertised is misleading. We were at most 30-40 minutes in the water with seals. That was great. The rest of the time was spent in the boat looking at dolphins. As experienced snorkelers, divers and ocean swimmers this was disappointing with the dolphins all around the boat and not allowed to get in.

Wow! What an amazing experience 🥰 Where else could you swim with wild seals & dolphins on a 2hr tour in a small group. Loved the no frills about food & drink, but gave us the best equipment to enjoy the experience (new thick wetsuits, gloves, awesome snorkelling equipment, warm wash down) And the guides so passionate about our the wildlife we were so lucky to see on the day. 10 out of 10 for us 👍

exciting experience for good swimmers! nice crew, that leads you in good way through the 2 hours trip!

“No wise fish would go anywhere without a porpoise.” “Wouldn’t it really?” said Alice, in a tone of great surprise.”Of course not,” said the Mock Turtle. “Why, if a fish came to me, and told me he was going on a journey, I should say ‘With what porpoise?’ The pristine waters of Backstairs Passage and the rugged coastline seen from seaward make the two hour Ocean Safari well worthwhile, but the dolphins make it very special. Elijah and Bonnie make a great Skipper and Deckie respectively, apart from a minor 550 nautical mile navigational glitch confusing the SA mainland with Tasmania…..but we did make it back in the end.

If you are hesitating, don't! I am an "average" swimmer and it was highly achievable and enjoyable. There are three fabulous things about this tour. 1. I was nervous about the water chill but the wetsuits and (if you want them) gloves provided are top quality, thick and warm. They keep you buoyant in the water, so that you can watch seals slip around you on the surface or snorkel down under the water. 2. The tour leaders Elijah and Laurence are lovely; interested, attentive, and invested you having the best time. I had trouble with my mask and snorkel in the water, but they took the time to sort me out quickly and with care. 3. The seals themselves are thrilled to be there, twirling underneath and around in a constanr game of hide and seek. (Could I also thanks Sandy for helping me retrieve belongings i left behind on the day - Laurence, Elijah and Bonnie turned up off duty to help me . Thank you.)

Apart from the fantastic experience of swimming with Seals and Dolphins, Loved the friendly service Elijah and Alex provided! Will certainly be asking to book with them the next time we visit with the family.

We were super lucky it was a perfect day out on the water. I was travelling with my UK friends and they had never been snorkelling before...they were made to feel at ease and we had such a wonderful day with the seals....we were very lucky as there were over 20 seals at the swim with 2 sealions ...the sealion was so amazing engaging with all of us....he/she made us all feel very special as we all got the eye to eye contact where we all felt connected....it was certainly a day to remember! Don't hesitate... just book it.. you won't regret it!

The experience itself deserves more than 5 stars really. Phenomenal swim with seals. And though tge dolphins were not up for sone interaction we did spot 2 small pods with babies and feeding from the boat. So why 4 stars? Communication really. I contacted company through viator 2x before and after booking. No one cared to respond. So if you have no questions book this tour!!! You will love it! If you do have questions. Be prepared to not get an awnswer.... i would still recommend this experience to everyone with good swimming skills though. Great gear. Great skipper and deckmate. We loved it!

What an AMAZING day skippered by Elijah & his crew to actually swim with dolphins & see these amazing creatures up close in their natural habitat. The team looked after us so well & we could not wipe the smiles from our faces. Special surprise with the warm water warm-up treat at the end of the tour. Thanks guys - incredible!! You really must put this on your agenda.
