What a great day out!!! This was the best thing to do on a…read moreSunday morning! The staff was great, and super friendly. They took time to teach us about the animals and we're very friendly. We saw dolphins and seals and we're able to swing with them. On the way back, we even saw two massive rays! The weather was not great, but the dolphins don't care! They are wet already! So it really doesn't make a difference. Tea / coffee was served and even scones! Highly recommend this company!

You probably wouldn't think it even exists, but Polperro Dolphin Swim offers a chartered cruise our…read moreinto the Post Philip Bay and gives guests an opportunity to swim with the large Dolphin pods of the bay. Indigenous to the bay area, these unique fellas are inquisitive enough to swim up from the deep and frolic around the swimmer. Don't expect to get too close or to touch them, but do expect to be left in awe of their sheer wild beauty. You'll meet the charter on the Sorrento Pier before setting out to sea. Each diver gets a wetsuit (the water is pretty chilly, but not unbearable), and goggles. The charter accommodates sight seers too! Chug along and drop in as the pods swim around the vessel, giving you a magnificent display. As you move on with the cruise, marvel at their dexterity in the water as they coast the waves create by the larger vessels that comes into the bay from Tasmania. You'll witness incredible jumps and flips up close. The last stop is Seal Island where you can enjoy free swimming with the local seals. They are pretty friendly and inquisitive and will come up close. If you have the skill, swim along exploring the floor of the bay to see crabs, rays and more! This is an adventure not to be overlooked. It was worth every cent and delivered on the promise. If you are a fan of the wild and enjoy it from a unique point of view, this is something you have to do. The team is punctual and professional and have a great knowledge of the bay and the locals. Dress warm as the winds can be rather chilly, even in summer, and be sure to keep a dry change of clothes in the car in case.

Amazing! I was…read moredesperate to find an experience gift for my mother in law's 60th birthday. She flew us over on frequent flyers and put us up in an Airbnb, so it had to be something extra special for this milestone birthday. We also had the challenge of trying to do something that involved our 1 year old niece. Luckily I discovered Melbourne Boat Hire. They seemed to be the most affordable at $299 for 2 hours boat hire along the river. We had to change the date and time a couple of times and the owners were extremely patient with us. On the day we arrived at the boat I was blown away by how luxurious it was. In their professional photos it didn't look very flash at all. The boat seemed brand new and the interior was all fitted out in cream leather and the table had a fresh white tablecloth and champagne glasses ready to go. It's a self-drive boat and you don't need a skippers ticket. It was fantastic to see the city from the water and the boat is enclosed, or can be open-air if you like. This really was such a fabulous experience and I highly recommend to it to anyone looking to do something different for a special occasion or even a high-end date.

Wasn't nuts about my experience. I did the one day Great Ocean Road tour. I purchased through…read moreSightseeing Tours Australia which advertised a large coach tour and then a tour that was not labeled large coach. I opted to not be in a large coach because I don't like huge bus tours and that's exactly what I got. First off I was one of the last pickups so I got a crummy seat in the back and not at a window. I asked the girl next to me if she'd be willing to switch at some point during the tour since the whole tour is about a scenic drive and she literally said no and that it wasn't her fault I got picked up last. I think the tour guide should tell people to move seats at each stop because your seat on the bus makes a HUGE difference. I was at least on the left side of the bus, on the coast side - if you're on the right don't even bother trying to see anything because you won't. On top of that most of our stops were pretty whatever with the exception of the last two stops at Loch Ard Gorge and 12 Apostles. Our stops included: a gas station if we wanted coffee or tea, the arch that says great ocean road (really kind of whatever), an area where you can see parrots and if you're lucky a wild koala, a town for lunch, and a quick rainforest walk to see a fairly unimpressive waterfall. My interest was the Great Ocean Road, and we made NO stops by the cliffs or for scenic views of that until the end at 12 Apostles. Basically you are on the bus ALL day, and only 1/4 of you are going to have a full view, and you won't stop at scenic areas. The tour finishes with a stop at McDonald's for dinner. Or KFC. Your pick. All in all I REALLY wish I had just rented a car and done it myself. I don't think the Great Ocean Road is a good destination for a large coach tour. But this one made it even worse.
