The Supplier&nbsp;endeavours to provide accessibility to this cruise&nbsp;for people with all abilities. With extensive operating experience, The Supplier knows&nbsp;how important it is to offer personal attention to passengers who may require special care.

&nbsp;

Children aged 3 years and under are free of charge. Our shorter cruises are perfect for all ages, however, children of all ages must always be under adult supervision.&nbsp;

There is ample room for prams and walkers onboard and the boarding ramp allows standard sizing though some areas of these vessels are only accessible via stairs. &nbsp;Please note that there is up to up to 15 steps on the jetty before access to the boat.

No, you are not allowed to feed the seals.

Throughout your cruise, you are guaranteed to see 6000+ Australian Fur Seals on the rocks, and often they approach the boat in the water, offering an up-close and personal experience.

Come aboard this spectacular 2 hour coastal wildlife cruise, and experience an up-close encounter with thousands of seals at Australia&rsquo;s largest fur seal colony. The cruise leaves from Cowes jetty on the north coast of Phillip Island. The journey then takes you around to the southwest coast to Seal Rocks, situated 2 kilometres off the rugged coast.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Upon arrival, the boat drifts within meters of the seals, enabling you to witness them in their natural environment first hand. You can tell fur seals apart from other species because of their cute little external ears. They also have the ability to move across land using all four limbs, which is why they prefer rocky islands as their habitat.&nbsp;It is impossible not to be captivated by these naturally playful and inquisitive animals, as they regularly approach the boat for a closer look at you!

&nbsp;

Along the way, you&rsquo;ll be enthralled by the beautiful coastline and learn all about the history of Phillip Island&rsquo;s western shoreline. After European settlement, the island became a fur seal trade hub. Thankfully the trade has stopped, which has allowed this protected species to repopulate, allowing us to admire these incredible creatures in their natural habitat.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

While the seals live at Seal Rocks year-round, each season brings something new. Spot baby pups frolicking in the water or adult bulls sunning themselves on land.&nbsp;
