Family friendly ferry

We took a morning ferry with our daughter and it was so much fun, despite a few rain showers. The crew were really engaging and offered lots of nuggets of local knowledge. Thanks in particular to Harry for his warm sense of humour and for personalising so many moments l. He even offered to take plenty of our family photos. We'll be back for sure

Skip it

The crew was very welcoming and efficient at checking. This tour promised to be a nice, short trip to view birds and seals and get some history on the coast. Maybe I’m jaded but the bird viewing was underwhelming and the boat didn’t get close enough to anything to see an actual seal. Recorded narration was intermittent and poorly accompanied by our captain who was very difficult to hear. I guess we got a $30 boat ride but will not recommend to other travelers. Boring.

Beautiful afternoon

We went on 7th September 2026. A mixture of live and pre recorded very informative commentary. Crew were friendly, funny and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would definitely do it again when we might get lucky and see the puffins.
