Swimming with seals was amazing! - Amazing experience! We swam with seals and watched a large pod of dolphins. The staff were very helpful and clear in their instructions; we felt reassured about safety.

Amazing experience. We... - Amazing experience. We got to swim with seals and see a big pack of dolphins. Sadly we weren't able to swim with them but still was amazing. Thanks to our guides.

A very memorable experience - Although the dolphins weren’t particularly cooperative and swam away from us, our time with the seals was excellent. We got plenty of time to get up close to a large group resting on rocks and several of them took turns to join us in the water. Some were very curious and interactive. Everything was very well organised, the equipment provided was top notch and we felt very safe. Thanks guys for a great outing!

Kangaroo Island Favpurite - Another experience I can tick off my bucket list! We were able to swim with both seals and dolphins and the three young crew members went out of their way to be upbeat and friendly while still being professional and efficient. A perfect day.

Excellent day out enhanced by friendly and knowledgeable crew and great conditions. - Simply a great day out with both Dave and Elijah knowledgeable and gracious hosts. The dive equipment is in great condition as is the boat. We were fortunate in being greeted with a stunning early autumn day with calm and clear waters. The environmental care that Dave and Elijah demonstrated with the marine life was admirable (as in impressive, not as in navy rank😅)

That's wild life! - Great friendly tour group. Unfortunately we didnt find and dolphins or seals to swim with on the day- that's (wild)life but we were given the opportunity of part refund or rebooking. Could not ask for more. Thanks KI Ocean Safaris, Thomas and Elijah.

Disappointing - This was not what I expected. For some reason I was thinking the seals would be in the water with us within in a protected pool of water, not out in the open ocean potentially bumping up against rocks along the coast. Once the seals were within sight, we all got into the water and then had to swim over to where they were hanging out on the rocks, hoping one of them would dive in, but then when one did, we'd stick our head under water, but it was too choppy and bubbly to see anything because of the water hitting the rocks. Overall it was a pretty disappointing experience because of this. The only reason I gave this a start rating is because the staff was friendly and helpful and I felt safe.
