It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. We had a very informative guide and were treated with seeing a lot of dolphins. I sat up front and had a great view (wearing a raincoat was not necessary, but it kept me dry). It took a while to drive out there, not because of distance, but due to the slow traffic. Even if using Google Maps, plan extra time for that!

Captain Luke was great. Gave us a great deal of knowledge and appreciation of the estuary. Saw bottleneck dolphins mating up close which was a highlight.

We enjoyed this great tour. The scenery was beautiful and we enjoyed learning more about the habitat and history. Our guide (Craig, I think) was very personable, knowledgeable and easy going.

Sounds like a wonderful outing! Captain Craig has a great way of making guests feel relaxed while sharing so much about the local environment and its history. The combination of beautiful scenery, wildlife, and laid-back but informative guiding really makes these tours special. Glad you had a great time—hope you’ll be back for another trip soon!
