We went on a January 2013 cruise. The staff on Moonraker were outstanding. My rating really applies to the operators. We didnt see dolphins. Which of course can happen when there are only 100+ dolphins in Port Phillip Bay. My beef really is Moonrakers choice of going out in bad weather (windy and raining) when the other operator Polperro, did... More

My partner and son done the swim with the dolphins/seals and I just went for the cruise. Surprisingly the ride was very easy going, educational and good value for money. The tour took 4 hours but time flies when having fun it only seemed like an hour on board. The staff were very informative and helpful with a smile and... More

I booked this trip for my partner and I about a week before. On arriving we signed in and bought a camera (photos yet to be developed) for $25. The girls measured us up for wet suits, flippers and snorkel etc. We got changed in a shed... literally a shed but everyone took it in turns so not too bad.... More

I took my 11 and ten year old granddaughters for the three hour cruise. We all had an absolute ball. We were unlucky not to meet any dolphins that day, but swimming with the seals more than made up for that. The girls were like little mermaids, but for those not as confident, the staff have flotation devices, and really... More

I bought 2 tickets for this tour for my daughter and I through Scoopon. There was no problem redeeming the voucher and as I booked at the first opportunity I was able to get the day of my daughter's birthday for the swim (only 2 weeks away). Signage at the pier is minimal but it's not hard to find -... More

The crew were fantastic, very energetic and passionate about what they do! Swimming with the seals was amazing as was swimming with the Dolphins! They crew... More

I purchased a dolphin/seal swim for my wife, with a "spectator" package for myself, so I could take some photos and videos of the event. My wife got to pop on a wetsuit and spend time with seals, dolphins and random marine life under expert guidance and safety, and I got the chance to film everything with no pressure or... More

I went on the tour on 10/03/13. It was the weather was perfect day even when we arrived there at 8:30am. The tour company was really easy to find and there was plenty of parking available. Note to anybody undertaking this tour, you should have some $1 coins for the parking meter. When we arrived we were quickly checked in... More
