AI summary of 55 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the guides for being friendly, knowledgeable and funny, with many describing the experience as fun and memorable regardless of wildlife sightings. The most commonly highlighted feature of the tour is the frequent and close encounters with dolphins, often accompanied by sightings of whales and turtles, with visitors appreciating the guides' skill at locating and positioning kayaks for optimal viewing. The most frequent caveat is that wildlife sightings are not guaranteed, though travellers note the tour offers a free return visit if dolphins are missed, which many view as a fair guarantee rather than a significant drawback.
How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
The team were great fun to be around and the vibe was good. Worth doing if you want to see wildlife and catch a few waves on the way out.
Friendly guides. We saw a few dolphins and a whale fin in the distance, though it's a pricey activity.
An excellent tour from start to finish, with a great team and great dolphins. I couldn't fault a thing.
A fantastic choice for our large group. Safety was taken seriously but explained in a fun way, and Sol, Jasper, Jess and Darby spotted whales, dolphins and turtles with great humour and real knowledge of the area. A highlight of our east coast trip.
A great tour with Lichii and Dom. We got a kayak briefing plus life jacket, wetsuit and helmet, and both guides were funny and knew lots about the ocean and its animals. They took photos during the tour and shared them afterwards.
A magical time. The whales and dolphins put on a show, the weather was amazing and Byron made the perfect backdrop.
