Phillip Island Seal Watching Cruise

About this experience

Phillip Island Seal Watching Cruise Set sail from Phillip Island for a 2-hour coastal cruise to Seal Rocks, home to one of Australia's largest fur seal colonies. This wildlife adventure takes you directly to the southern tip of the island where over 5,000 Australian fur seals swim, dive and bask on the rugged rocks. Your experienced guides provide expert commentary about seal behaviour and the island's marine ecosystem throughout the journey. The cruise offers more than just seal watching. Keep your camera ready for frequent dolphin sightings and native seabirds that often accompany the boat. You'll also pass historic coastal landmarks while taking in sweeping views of the Southern Ocean. The onboard experience includes complimentary tea, coffee and cake served on deck, plus free WiFi to share your wildlife encounters in real-time.
