Wild native animals are protected by law, we are required to give them a measured safe distance during our cruise experience.

We may see dolphins and seals in the Gippsland Lakes during summer & autumn, but more so during winter & spring.

We do our best to sight the local wildlife, however, they don't always co-operate, thus we do not guarantee sightings.
