    We had the best time on the 5 day adventure. The team on board exceeded our expectations and the care and thought to ensure we were given the best experience was exceptional. There is no guarantee that you will get to see the wonder of the sea and the team did everything they could to ensure we had the best chances. We did see 2 sharks, gannets dive bombing and a pod of 7 dolphins initially and then we encountered a pod of 60+ on the way back and we then followed them for a good period of time which was amazing to see with the babies, teens and adult dolphins. We were given the best treatment. the boat was comfortable with room and refreshments. We booked online and there was no wait. Remember plenty of sun screen as the breeze can be a bit misleading on how warm the sun can be. Thank you so much and we would def book up again.

    We had such a wonderful day out with the Bay Explorer. We were so lucky and came across a pod of about 100 dolphins who were swimming around our boat for over an hour! It was such an incredible experience. The crew were amazing, and were great at spotting the wildlife. Towards the end of the trip we spotted a humpback which was a complete surprise and utterly incredible! Would highly recommend this trip!

    Well done team Bay Explorer for making a magical morning. The skipper and crew were super helpful, finding dolphins, sun fish and lone penguins. I also won a free drink on board. Highly recommended.

    We had experienced their hospitality last week. The crew were very welcoming. We were able to see great number of Dolphins, worth spending that money. I had lil nausea during the trip, crew members supported in whatever I want. Each and everyone honestly are great and doing their Job with utmost love and support. Thank you Bays explorer for making it a memorable trip
