AI summary of 24 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the knowledgeable and friendly crew, the abundance and quality of food provided throughout the day, and the abundance of marine life sightings including sharks, dugongs, dolphins, turtles, rays and other fish. What stands out most often is the high quality of snorkelling opportunities and the variety of wildlife encountered, with many reviewers noting they saw significant numbers of large species and appreciated the crew's expertise in spotting and safely approaching animals. The most common caveat is one traveller's observation that hot beverages and cordial were only available at the start of the day rather than throughout, though this was mentioned as a minor wish rather than a substantial complaint.
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.
An awesome day with skipper Hayden, Connor and Robin on the Marine Safari. We saw a tiger shark and dolphins, the snorkelling was like an aquarium, and we got to see Steep Point and walk on Dirk Hartog Island.
Hayden and Robin took us on the Steep Point and Dirk Hartog safari and were very knowledgeable, especially with our kids. Next time we'll go without the kids so we can all snorkel.
An amazing full day around Shark Bay and Dirk Hartog Island with great snorkelling and food. Skipper Hayden and crew Lily and Scarlett told us about the bay's history and wildlife.
We did the Full Day Marine Safari and loved it. A well-planned, hassle-free day with delicious, plentiful food, and Hayden, Robin and Connor shared real knowledge and passion for the area.
An exceptional marine safari with Robin and Russell. Russell drove safely in tricky conditions while Robin kept everyone engaged, we saw dugongs and dolphins on the way out, and we had three snorkels at beautiful sites, well fed all day.
An amazing marine safari with a crew who were on to it all day. We saw manta rays, whales, dolphins and some turtles, close up while respecting the animals' space.
