We had a great afternoon on the water with Moonshadow. The captain and his commentary set the tone for a funny trip around the waters of Nelson Bay and his dedication to finding us a number of small pods of dolphins was second to none!

The perfect way to see Broughton Island. The kids loved the slide & boom net ride and we loved the walks, beach, snorkeling and spectacular scenery. Definitely something we will do again and recommend to friends. Everything was excellent!

A great day out on the slip and splash dolphin tour. We had a lot of fun looking for dolphins and swimming in the boom net and slippery dip. The crew were lovely and very friendly! Would highly recommend them to guests vacationing in the Port Stephens area!

Such an amazing experience. The crew really knew their stuff. On top of that, so many pods of whales! I was shocked by how many we were able to see, and the breached! A must-do if you have never been whale watching!
