This was the perfect day out on the water and can be suited to those who love the water and those who don't- my husband doesn't like snorkeling but was able to go as a spectator. The experience swimming with the seals was amazing! The dolphins were very cool too but swim off so fast that you don't really get the register that they are there before they're gone again. I was very impressed with the onboard cafe and loved that there were some inclusions for free. The crew were very friendly and I had a great time!

If you don't have your own car it's easiest and most relaxed way to enjoy the springs. Going as a tour you also skip the queue for entry. The springs itself were in a lovely setting with a good variety of dip pool to use and going during daytime meant it wasn't too crowded, at most I was sharing with 4 other people at a time. Towel, robe and locker hire is extra as stated. If you want all x3 you can do a bundle for $25 but I just brought my own towel and did the locker for $8.

Incredible experience! The dolphins were very playful and curious the day we went out! Weather was beautiful, little fresh but still a gorgeous day. Lovely staff, very welcoming and happy to answer any questions, the food and coffee was great!

Great overall experience from purchasing tickets & tour. Bus driver / tour guide Simon was knowledgeable and helpful.

Excellent service from Simon and a very relaxing experience at the hot springs! Was well worth the $150 dollars.
