Our group of six went on an afternoon seal and dolphin cruise. We saw and swam with dozens of seals as they played in the water around us. Unfortunately the dolphins decided to take the day off and not make an appearance but a huge stingray came to check us out instead. The crew went out of their way to make it as much fun as possible, allowing everyone who wanted to jump off the boat roof, swim and hang onto the net at the side of the boat and get dragged along while the boat cruised. Unfortunately I got seasick (took my tablets too late!) but the crew were so attentive and caring and did everything they could to make me feel better, even giving me a heatbag and blanket so that I could rest. Also, when my father-in-law felt nervous in the water, the crew swam closer to him and provided a floating device to provide extra support. All of the crew were amazing, they had a great sense of humour and were so professional, helpful and friendly the whole time. They made everyone feel safe, and offered cups of tea/coffee, cold drinks and biscuits to keep us fed and hydrated. I would highly recommend this cruise but I'm told there's often better sailing conditions and dolphins spotted in the morning session.

Absolutely loved every single aspect! Friendly, professional and very informative and knowledgeable crew, the weather and conditions were perfect too. Great boat, the snorkelling was amazing, my mask was a bit big and it kept filling up so I spent a bit of time trying to sort that out in the water, but it wasn't a hassle at all to swap it for a smaller one. :) We had a mixture of sightseers and people who got in the water, and it looked liked everyone had a blast. I loved it so much I'm actually heading out again in a couple of days before we go home! :D I'd highly recommend Sea All Dolphin Tours, thanks so so much for an amazing time!!!

Fantastic crew taking you on a wonderful, fun adventure. This was my 3rd trip and I would not hesitate to go again, dolphins can be allusive but that is half the fun of searching. The seals are always up for a play and are very friendly. Snorkelling at Pope's Eye is lovely - perfect for the beginner swimmer with shallow, calm waters. The crew ensure you are always entertained while searching for the dolphins, with fun and energetic activities suitable for all levels of swimming abilities. No spoilers here, just go and see for yourself, you won't regret it!

I did the Seal and Dolphin swim tour in January. It was a great day out on the water. Although we didnt see Dolphins on this particular day it was amazing to swim with the seals. The crew were fantastic, very enthusiastic and professional. They made sure everyone was really well looked after and were quick to assist anyone who wasnt super comfortable in the water. They kept everyone entertained through the whole trip and were super friendly. I would definitely recommend this tour company, they were fantastic.

Such an incredible time, we had no idea of what to expect and it exceeded all expectations. The guides were helpful and friendly, there were such fun activities even outside swimming with the seals. We got so close to the seals and to see them in their natural habitats was amazing.

My friends and I went out on the Seal and Dolphin swim over the weekend. The tour guides were super friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating to everyone onboard the boat. The tour is great and you get to snorkel and see lots of marine life, swim near/with the dolphins and get close to the seals. There are also some great activities on the boat (including the rope swim and boat jump). Highly recommended and value for money!

I did the half day swim with the dolphins and seals. It was a gift and I couldn’t have asked for a better present. It was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon and an amazing way to start the year. Will be hard to top this experience! The whole crew were professional, energetic, helpful and friendly and made the day one to remember. Swimming with wild seals and dolphins was incredible and the boat trip was lots of fun!

Really unique experience, and a great crew! We were a little nervous, but all 3 staff onboard were reassuring, patient and kind. We had no idea you could lay on or hang off the net on the side of the boat whilst in motion - it was wild but very cool! We also had the opportunity to jump off the roof of the boat.
We visited two snorkel spots, the first with the seals and the second with some fish and cute birds. Unfortunately no dolphins were spotted, but they're wild animals and you can never guarantee them. I wish we had a little longer in the water, because it was so much fun!

I had a fantastic experience doing the seal and dolphin swims with my girlfriend! The staff were genuinely invested in our enjoyment of the experience, and were very accommodating of different levels of swimming experience. We swam with seals, and were successful in finding dolphins to swim with and view form the boat.
Super highly recommended!!

Hi, do sea all dolphin swim do transfers from Melbourne cbd? I saw on the website that they do transfers from geelong but would be concerned about public transport delays on the day as I am planning on doing the trip on a Sunday.

Well, it depends on what you are doing. If you are seeing the Seals and Dolphins and both are snokelling, you’re looking at about $300 ($150 per adult). If you are only sight seeing, I think it’s $89 each. If you’re doing some other attraction, I am unsure.

Hi were planning on coming on the 26th of December. How long are we in the water for and do we have to do a change over to limit the amount of people at a time in the water?
Written December 4, 2017
Can someone tell us how many people are on a boat and whether there has to be a change over? How much time is spent actually in the water? Thank you
Written December 4, 2017
Hello, there is usually 8-10 but I think the guy said it can go up to 20 in popular months. This trip is sooo worth it. I've done so many things on my travels and honestly this is now in my top 3 and I will definitely go again some day and take friends x
