Saw the $85 sightseeing package on booking.com and thought it was only a sightseeing service. In fact we were joined with people who are going for swim. And for the 2hours we were waiting on the boat under the sun as the boat is not shaded. The most upset thing is that there were not enough seats (too many people at the same boat) and most of the seats are very wet because the people swimming are seating with the sightseeing person. Really don’t recommend anyone to spend $85 for “sightseeing”. Just a waste of money and time waiting for people swimming. Booking.com should take this misleading sightseeing down.The crew were amazing. Great communication and very professional. All were happy to answer any question and accomodate any need. Luckily all the passengers seemed like lovely people. It felt like a very shared experience. My mum whose 82nd birthday it was had a look of pure joy on her face. Esp...
The crew were amazing. Great communication and very professional. All were happy to answer any question and accomodate any need. Luckily all the passengers seemed like lovely people. It felt like a very shared experience. My mum whose 82nd birthday it was had a look of pure joy on her face. Especially with the hot mocha and watching those beautiful dolphins and seals. Thank you all for a totally memorable experience.We thoroughly enjoyed this tour over the Australia Day weekend. The staff were very informative and friendly, boat was spotless and amenities were excellent. Highly recommend and cannot believe how up close we got to the sea lions in the wild.

First of all i’ll give tripadvisor a one star and never going to book my plans with them, on a day we had booking it was no 3 hours cruise just 90 minutes and the time tripadvisor confirmed was 1:00pm, I took my 2 and 3 years old on a sun from 12:30 but after half an hour waiting and seeing no cruise I rang the company and they told me you don't have any booking with us at all, finally after long conversation over the phone they found out tripadvisor just sold us the ticket without any booking with the moonraker company. Any way after 1 hour waiting they fit us on a 90 minutes cruise and we haven't seen any dolphins by our ends. The only thing I can say is they have a friendly and nice crews otherwise It was our second time with this company and haven't seen any dolphins never go back and not recommend at all specially booking with tripadvisor.We took the sight seeing option. Even though the rain was heavy, the experience was pleasant.

We took the sight seeing option. Even though the rain was heavy, the experience was pleasant. The crew members took effort in finding the best spots for viewing the dolphins, and we were very pleased with the significant number of dolphins sighted! The tour could have been made more enriching if there were some explanations given about the dolphins. As we only signed up for sight seeing, we didn't benefit much from the seahorse viewing, so splitting the sightseeing and swim tours would be ideal. However, I understand it might be due to low in numbers. Overall, it was worth the money and time spent ! Thank you!
