Great trip They were great. Issue with 3rd party ticket but company sort it out on our behalf. Staff are great with all people from whatever part of the world youre from. Was worried we wouldnt see much but they found the dolfins and seal have a structure they stay on. Can move around boat freely.
Good trip.

Great trip! We saw dolphins, seals and sea birds. The tour was informative, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the boat wasn’t packed so it was easy to see all the wildlife, especially when the dolphins kept swimming underneath the boat so we were going from one side to the other!

Well, this would have to be the worst Dolphin, Seal cruise I have ever been on. Would have loved to have swam with the seals but at $240 for the pleasure, I don't think so. Should not be swim tour & sightseers as well, one or the other, not both. $120 for the pleasure of, not having enough space on the boat for everyone to be comfortable.
The seals of course were amazing and all of the crew on board were lovely and hard working. What a job, getting to swim with Seals and Dolphins every day. Wow.
The captain was great, and the Dolphin's were amazing. We got lucky and there were lots of Dolphins, wanting to play and show off there amazing abilities.
Had a good day out, would have been made better if the swimming with the dolphins and seals was more affordable. Not that I don't have the money, just not spending close to $500 for hubby and myself to have a swim. Moonraker are making a motsa on these cruises and could do better.

We recently took part in the Seal and Sea Dragon Swim and had an incredible experience! Although we initially had some pricing issues and difficulty securing a child ticket through Red Balloon, the Managing Director personally followed up and provided genuinely outstanding customer service after the tour.

The tour itself was phenomenal. There were a few admin issues that delayed our departure, but these were addressed and remedied after discussions with the Managing Director post tour. Despite that, we enjoyed some truly amazing wildlife encounters, swimming with playful seals, snorkelling alongside a sea dragon, and spotting dolphins on the way back.

The crew on the boat were friendly, professional, and genuinely cared about everyone’s comfort and safety. I have snorkelled in the Galapagos, Ningaloo, and The Great Barrier Reef, and this seal experience is on par with them. I highly recommend this experience for anyone wanting an unforgettable marine adventure.

This experience was phenomenal. It truly exceeded any expectations. The entire vibe of the staff from the moment we picked out our wetsuits to when we were dropped off was so positive and engaging. We were so lucky to see dolphins, jump, play and the calf with its parents. Then to be able to swim with wild seals so closely is something i’ll never forget. There was also an opportunity to snorkel and see sea dragons as well. We loved the way that there was free food and drink options such as coffees, wraps and banana bread offered throughout the trip; it makes you really feel that family owned experience whilst on board as opposed to another commercial trip. Thank you guys SO much & can’t recommend enough.

Incredible experience! But we didn't swim with the dolphins. I didn't pay for the seal swim, nor did I pay for excessive amounts of hot chocolate, I wanted to swim with dolphins, not see them off in the distance. If there's no dolphin swim on the tour they should make it at least half price, if not a refund.
Staff were very nice, make sure you read the fine print saying there's no refund if you see a dolphin, even off in the far distance.

A delightful trip! My family and I spent a wonderful afternoon on the boat; the service was superb! There was delicious food and drinks, and we saw many dolphins and seals while snorkeling. Thank you for your service!

Amazing experience!!! The guides were super helpful and professional. Also getting the photo package prior to your swim is worth it. We also got educated on marine animals, learned about the locations we swan at and got fed with healthy food. We enjoyed every minute, will spread the word.

You’ll enjoy it What a great team on board. No guarantees here folks, but these guys went above and beyond. And we saw dolphins chasing the boat.

We really enjoyed our experience. Our group included a mix of swimmers and sightseers, and everyone had a memorable day. The crew were friendly and knowledgeable, and the banana bread was delicious. After swimming with dolphins and seals, the chicken wraps were a much-appreciated treat. Thanks for an awesome experience Moonraker

Sorrento Day Trip! The crew was super friendly, professional and knowledgeable! There was also plenty of room on the boat to move around. Would definitely go on another tour!

Thank you for an amazing time. We actually did this twice... the first time we didn't see dolphins so they offered a free return visit in 30 days. So we went back the next day! The crew were brilliant, making sure everyone had a good time. The seals were a bit sleepy both times we went out but were cool to look at up close. Highly recommend - this is an awesome tour.

excellent, highly recommend Had a fantastic 1.5 hour cruise, worth the money. Although we didn't see dolphins, the seals were amazing and the company provided plenty of time for us to watch/photograph them. You can buy snacks if you want. The staff were really friendly and the boat clean and felt very safe, not too crowded. There was plenty of time to get there and back. Perfect weather too, added bonus.

A fabulous afternoon of spotting seals and dolphins! The crew were very friendly and educated us about the sealife. Also, they offered a free lunch and banana bread with tea coffee. Would highly recommend!

Went on the 1.5 hour cruise today. Loved it! Crew were really friendly. We saw some dolphins and didn’t expect to be so close to the seals. So many birds too.

ABSOLUTLEY amazing tour. Even though the dolphins were quiet today, we got to see the fur seals, Australian gannet birds, and some PHENOMINAL lunch wraps. Thank you Tilly and Phoebe, so welcoming. Skipper Tom was so polite and introduced himself to us all. Felt very safe. Thankyou 🥰

A nice cruise, but could have been better. A nice opportunity to get out on a boat in Phillip Bay. We did see some dolphins quite near to the boat and Chinaman’s hat gave us an excellent opportunity to see Australian Gannets building their nests with pied cormorants looking on. There were also many fur seals on and around Chinaman’s hat which was amazing to see. I was disappointed in the audio messaging - it was not audible in the cabin area and I felt there could have been a bigger effort to educate those of us that were not snorkeling about the history and nature in the area. While I had hoped the 3 hr cruise would have given us more opportunities to see and learn, I believe if I was to do it again I would choose the 1.5 hour cruise where the sightseers would likely be more valued.

My partner and I had a fantastic experience on the Dolphin and Seal snorkeling tour. It was a brilliant authentic experience with truly wild animals. It was amazing to see the seals frolicking beneath us and the dolphins leaping out beside the boat.

The team at Moonraker were incredibly friendly, helpful and did their upmost to get us up close to dolphins, as unpredictable as they can be. While seeing dolphins is not always possible, it is absolutely worth taking that risk to support an ethical family tourism business with animal welfare at the forefront of their mind; and with Moonraker's "see a dolphin or come back for free" guarantee, there's no real risk at all!

Fantastic adventure. Beautiful boat. I had the best time. I went once with my daughter and again by myself. Loved every part.
The whole crew were fantastic and looked after everyone.
We were given plenty to eat, and you could purchase other drinks and snacks if needed.
We saw dolphins, swam with seals and weedy sea dragons.
I highly recommend this, and I'll do it again. The photo package was well worth it, and I recommend getting it.

Absolutely the best! Great service, the staff were super friendly, cautious and knowledgeable. We had a great experience as a family swimming with the seals. The waves were strong but the staff were super helpful and they kept an eye on everyone to ensure their safety. Will definitely be going again to try another tour.

Moonraker Dolphin /Seal swim was a fantastic cruise. Thoroughly enjoyed it with lots of sightings of seals & playful dolphins. Staff were great. Friendly & knowledgeable. Lunch on board was a delight. Very fresh. Thoroughly recommend .

Nice cruise ride with dolphins view We spotted dolphins playing and roaming around the cruise, and even saw seals on our way! It was amazing there was plenty of seats to roam around.

Okay tour to go on a boat It was a ok tour to go in a nice day, bur not sure what this tour has of “luxury’ as the title says, they only provide basic tea, and anything extra you had to pay. We only saw 2 dolphins swimming bay, and the seals were to far to see them. Just think this tour as a nice ride on a boat that’s it.

Amazing experience Based on what is on the booking site, the company met everything they promised. We had an awesome time and were able to see many dolphins swimming underneath us and from afar. Absolutely loved the seals, they are really chilled and swam around us. We were lucky that the water was really clear on the day we went, but cold!! If you choose this trip, be sure you are chilled and flexible. There is nothing the tour operator can do but unfortunately, there are always ignorant pushy tourists and they certainly messed the toilets. I would also suggest accepting a pool noodle when swimming with the seals. I am a competent swimmer and have snorkeled before however I found having the noodle allowed me to enjoy the wonder of the seals without worrying about swimming. Also take 2 towels and warm clothes as the water was freezing so was good to warm up afterwards. We had a lovely young girl Tilley explain everything and she was amazing and very clear and concise with instructions. Again, we had a great time and were lucky with dolphins. Don't hold it against the company if there are none, bad weather etc, go with an open mind. We loved it and will go again.

We love Moonraker! This about my 5th time on the boat, this time was for my 50th. I felt it was time to share my love of the water and boats with my son. With his anxiety I wasn't sure if he would get in the water for a swim, so we boarded as sightseers. The staff were so amazing my son has asked to come back for the swim. Every time I have been on board the staff have been nothing short of accommodating, helpful and friendly, even if they have changed over the last 15 years since my first trip. Looks like I will be back with several kids, as my son now wants to bring his mates haha
Thanks Torie and team, keep up the good work!

Amazing Experience – Highly Recommend !

Our family had an absolutely fantastic time on this dolphin sightseeing cruise! From start to finish, the experience was enjoyable and well-organized. The staff were incredibly attentive, friendly, and informative, sharing interesting facts about the marine life and making sure everyone had a great time.

We were lucky enough to see multiple pods of dolphins playing in the water, which was an incredible sight, and we even spotted some seals! The whole experience was breathtaking, and we couldn’t have asked for a better outing.

If you’re looking for a fun and memorable adventure, we highly recommend this cruise!

Moonraker Dolphin Swims – An Unforgettable Experience!

We had the most incredible experience with Moonraker Dolphin Swims in Sorrento! From start to finish, everything was well-organized, professional, and truly magical.

The crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about marine life, making the whole adventure even more special.

Swimming with wild dolphins and seals in their natural habitat was an experience like no other. The guides ensured everyone felt safe and comfortable, giving clear instructions and making sure we got the best possible view of these amazing creatures. The water was clear, and being so close to the dolphins as they swam effortlessly around us was absolutely breathtaking.

The boat itself was spacious and well-maintained, with plenty of room to relax in between swims. Even if you’re not getting in the water, the sightseeing and marine wildlife make it well worth the trip.

Overall, Moonraker offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience that’s perfect for families, couples, or anyone looking for an adventure. If you’re in Sorrento, this is an absolute must-do!

Unprofessional and tour cut short I would not recommend this company. Firstly the crew hadnt received any info about my daughter and I requesting plant based meals while on board, so the young guy had to scrounge around trying to find something for us. Secondly there was no team leader amongst the crew so communication wasnt great in regards to what was happening during the tour. Thirdly we were lucky to be out there for 2 and a half hours, defs not 3, maybe the staff couldnt be bothered as this would have been the 2nd tour for the day. If youre after something professionally run I would look elsewhere. I thought the owner Tori would have contacted me to apologise for overlooking our meals, but no nothing!

This was one of the most magical experiences I've had in my life and the best gift voucher idea from my bestie. I went on the morning 3 hour dolphin and seal swim tour and I can't recommend it enough. We saw so many dolphins, including a baby with it's mom. When you look down in the water, the seals and dolphins make eye contact as they swim under you. It's better than I could have imagined. The staff are all incredibly friendly and informative on how to apply snorkel equipment and safety procedures. I'm definitely making this my regular treat!

Loved this experience! We saw the seals so close up and were able to swim and dive with them, and the crew looked around the bay until we found a big pod of dolphins that even had a baby. The family and staff that ran the boat were really lovely, too. Would highly recommend!

We loved every minute of the 1.5 hour wildlife cruise! The weather was perfect & we got to see a few dolphins & many fur seals. All the staff on board were truly lovely & engaging (especially Tilly). Louisa from Reception was so cordial and accommodating of our change request. Thanks again guys! You're all awesome! 💜💜

Scenic cruise on Moonraker What a fabulous trip! We saw so many dolphins, views were amazing and it was so lovely and relaxing being out on the water. Shout out to the excellent crew, thankyou ❤️

Even if you don't get to see it all, this is still a great experience Once we got past the confusion about my booking due to poor communication, it was good. Moonraker had canceled the 2-hour afternoon swim with seals tour for Saturday, which was supposed to start at 3:30pm and upgraded me to the 3-hour dolphin and seals swim that same day at 1pm. Unfortunately, this change was not clearly communicated to me, with an email showing 2 different start times. When I called them that morning to sort it out, I realized we would not be able to make the 2-hour drive in time for the 1pm tour. They offered the Sunday tour for me, which worked out.
The diving suit was challenging to get on, and I felt very constricted, but I was told it should loosen up once in the water, which it did. They also brought an extra suit on board the boat just in case. The boat was comfortable and well-equipped. The staff was friendly and provided clear instructions. We attempted to slide in the water with the dolphins on 5 different instances and I never managed to see the dolphins. I did however manage to swallow much of the seawater. Visibility wasn't too good, which I think may have played a factor. I did see the dolphins a few times while sightseeing on the boat.
I had a more positive experience with the seals swim. Although after being advised by the crew that we shouldn't get too close to the structure that the seals were lounging on as they have been known to go potty over the side, I didn't get close enough to see much for the first half of the swim. I did get to see the graceful stingray gliding across the sea floor. Then, I found my spot, near where the seals were diving into the water and I just stayed floating, allowing them to swim up and around me. They were so curious! It was a wonderful experience.
The sandwiches and banana bread that were served for lunch were very good. I had seconds of banana bread. They also have a hot shower and a nicely appointed washroom available for guests. You can also purchase photos and videos that the crew takes in the water for a nominal fee. I recommend this tour.

Great experience well worth the money. Great service, nice boat and the inclusions make it a great experience I traveled with two friends and we absolutely love this tour.
The staff were really lovely and really helpful and the boat was awesome, lots of space, toilets one had a shower to rinse off and there’s a cafe/bar where you can buy snacks if you need, although lunch is included!
They had lots of new wetsuits and as it was October the water and air was cold so they had thermal jackets for over our wetsuits.
I thought this was a great tour and we really had a good time. Value, fun and we got what we paid for plus more.

Absolutely amazing expereince we had on the recent 3 hour cruise with these guys!
Our daughter was thrilled after snorkelling with dolphins and seals
Special thanks to Lou who was fantastic and was literally taking care of everything, be it the guets swimmming, the kitchen, the boat. Hats off to her!

Was such a great experience! We did a swimmer and a non swimmer. First we got to swim and see the playful seals! And then we swam with the dolphins! The boat was superb and the staff was absolutely amazing! Would do it again and would recommend!!

We are delighted to provide feedback for the fantastic boat ride experience we had recently. The young staff on board were truly exceptional, going above and beyond to ensure our journey was nothing short of amazing.
From the moment we stepped onto the boat, we were greeted with warm smiles and a genuine eagerness to make our experience memorable. The staff's enthusiasm was infectious, and it immediately set a positive tone for the entire trip.
What truly stood out was their willingness to go the extra mile to accommodate our needs and preferences. Furthermore, their energy and enthusiasm injected a sense of joy and excitement into the atmosphere, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. It was evident that they took pride in their work and genuinely cared about the satisfaction of their guests.
Overall, I cannot speak highly enough of the young staff who made our boat ride an unforgettable experience. Their exceptional service, coupled with their genuine passion and dedication, truly set them apart. I would highly recommend this boat ride to anyone seeking an extraordinary adventure on the water. Thank you to the entire team for a truly memorable experience!

Had a wonderful experience with Moonraker. Everything about the 3hr excursion from the organisation , quality boat with great and clean facilities and an expert and customer focused crew ensure we had a memorable day . Thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended - Bob Mann

Amazing! We did the seal swim only and blew my expectations. Bought this as a bday gift for my best friends, and she loved it also. The staff had a lot of warmth and super nice. We bought our own food on board as we always have the munchies, and staff didn't mind. They do offer hot drinks and a snack on the boat ride back. We had carrot cake, and it was yummo! They offer all the snorkelling gear needed, and the swim suit is optional! I didn't wear mine. You are very close and personal with the seals in the water, was amazing! I loved every minute of this adventure and cannot wait to do it again.

Comfortable way to see marine life and our environment Overall a beautiful day out on Port Phillip Bay. We did see dolphins, seals and various birds at Pope Marine Park.
Boat arrived late, as in 30 minutes,
despite us getting numerous messages to be there at 11.45am.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Moonraker for dolphin and seal sightings. The sightings were fantastic, and I truly loved it; the experience was really good. However, I do have a couple of suggestions to enhance the overall experience. Firstly, I believe it would be beneficial to have a board or designated area on the pier indicating the location of the boat/ferry. This would make it easier for visitors to locate the departure point. Additionally, while snorkeling was part of the experience, it wasn't clearly advertised by Red Balloon. I wasn't prepared for it, which slightly affected my enjoyment. I suggest clearly mentioning and advertising this aspect so that participants can come prepared and fully enjoy all aspects of the trip. Despite these suggestions, I still believe this experience is a must-do, and I highly recommend it to everyone. The staff at Moonraker were exceptional, making the trip even more enjoyable with their professionalism and friendliness.

Had a fantastic afternoon swimming with the dolphins, seals and rays.

What a beautiful, healthy bay we have.

All of the crew were so supportive and engaging. Jess and Hudson made it really special.

Highly recommend

Totally loved it, seals swimming under us, dolphins next to us. Quality wetsuits, fins, snorkel and anti fog spray(a nice touch).

All the crew are amazing, attention to detail and everything is first rate.

Thank you all, one happy family experience here.

Such an incredible experience. Staff were impeccable - flexible with ensuring everyone onboard got ample opportunities to swim and see the dolphins and seals. Calm and smooth travel with brilliant commentary. There were great food and drink options for such a tiny boat that was spotless (super clean) boat. 8am start was great to avoid Sorrentos traffic and the hot midday sun. We loved every moment and would go with them again!

Great service and a wonderful experience!
We swam with both seals and dolphins!

Sightseeing? Ha Ha Ha We were told it was a sightseeing tour of the bay. Nearly $400 later, we sat in the boat near some seals and watched the others snorkeling. Totally boring trip and a financial rip off!

Great experience!! This was a really cool trip with super nice employees that are willing to answer questions. Sadly I couldn't swim with Dolphins because they were too shy that day but we still saw a few. They also have really good new looking wet suits they keep you really warm.

Loads of dolphins and seals My daughter and I sail regularly on wildlife tours, and as Peninsula locals, we both love Moonraker. We’ve been on a variety of boats, and this vessel is big, clean, and provides awesome visibility. The crew were all equally friendly, and excited to show us the local marine life. We loved our tour, and would highly recommend.

Nice swim with dolphins and seals. We return to port without doing the snorkel with the sea dragons "because of the tide" and we were disappointed that there was no compensation for this. Not worth it renting the camera offered, quality is really poor, even if they assured it was similar to GoPro...

3hr tour on the bay 3hr tour of the bay and got to see seals and dolphins up close. Crew were very friendly and got some gear photos up close. Well worth it!!

Ok Trip was ok. More about other things than actual seeing dolphins. Even though we had a thick wetsuit it was freezing especially after getting back to the boat and waiting another 20min to get to the next spot.

The water temperature was 16° and 20° air temperature, was bit cold but we saw seals, unfortunately no luck for dolphins and some locations were hard to approach due to weather conditions. In general was well.

Wonders of nature Very helpful and a friendly crew. Captain of the boat spent lot of time to show us the dolphins. I would be happy to go again with our friends.

Relaxing, magical and fun!! Polperro were amazing, the team so knowledgeable and friendly.

We were put onto their boat last minute, which saved the day.

My partner swam and loved it, said the experience with the seals was incredible. I sat safely on the boat and enjoyed every minute. So many up close on the boat of both seals and dolphins.

Was the perfect amount of time, lovely hot drinks and scones.

We will be back as bring out boys for this years birthday presents.

GreT It was a great experience with friendly staff.it was easy booking online and boat arrived on time.our little enjoyed a lot

Great experience Lovely day.
Crew were very helpful and friendly.
Great experience.
Be sure to wear your bathers under your clothes, and bring a towel.

Seal and Dolphin trip Nice boat trip with a very good crew. Trip was Informative. Sadly no dolphins, which was the main reason for booking the trip. I thought you'd be fairly certain you would see a few dolphins, so we were a little disappointed, having driven 90 mins to get there. The boat was clean, toilets were on board, and we were given a couple of biscuits too. Trip was good. We saw the seals and some birds. We understand these are wild animals so it's up to them whether they decide to show up

Couldn’t recommend the Dolphin swim enough. The swim with the seals was awesome as they were so playful and swam really close to the group. We did see dolphins which was great however they didn’t want to swim with us on the day but still a really fantastic experience. The staff were all super friendly as well!

Amazing and unique experience I highly recommend everyone to experience.
3 hours full of experiences: Dolphins everywhere playing and happily jumping on the surface swimming next to and under the swimmers, Seals in their environment, clean water, staff willing to serve clean and comfortable environment: we loved this experience but more the children!
We look forward to the next time!
Thank you for everything
