Tony's extensive experience with the Lakes, ensures you'll taste the Natural Wonder of the Gippsland Lakes.
The Summer Cruises, may not cover the full distance into Lake King, due to delays in viewing the abundant wildlife.
Everything from dolphins, seals, sea birds, wallabies and the occasional whale are to be seen whilst cruising the Lakes.
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.
