Two-Hour Coastal Wildlife Cruise to Australia’s Largest Seal Colony
Set sail on a spectacular two-hour coastal wildlife cruise and experience an up-close encounter with thousands of seals at Australia’s largest fur seal colony. Seal Rocks is situated only two kilometres off the rugged southwest coast of Phillip Island. You’ll spend your afternoon lazily drifting within metres of the seals and see how they playfully approach the boat for a closer look at you – it’s impossible not to be captivated by these cheeky mammals. Along the way, you’ll be amazed by the beautiful coastline as your guide shares the stories of Phillip Island’s shoreline.
