The seal cruise was incredible!! Hundreds of seals!! I've been to the Nobbies multiple times, and knew seal rock was right there, but the seals were invisible to the naked eye, from shore. So glad we decided to take this cruise. Highly recommend! And the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable!

Got to be very close to the seals and spent a good amount of time there watching them. On the way back we got to see dolphins and the cruise stopped and got back a bit late without a rush. Great service!
