An unforgettable underwater adventure, snorkelling with the Australian Fur Seals.
Revel in the stunning views of the Mornington Peninsula coastline before enjoying the dip of a lifetime! Swim in the sheltered shallow waters with these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat. The Australian Fur Seals is one of our most popular and loved animal encounters.
We head out to the shallow waters of the Chinaman’s Hat, a purpose-built platform where over 100 local resident seals are sleeping in the sun. Moonraker cruises into the shallow clear waters and surrounding the boat are friendly, playful and inquisitive juvenile seals.
See giant Smooth Rays glide beneath you on the sandy seabed, whilst Seals dart back and forth, eager to swim and dive with you. There is so much beautiful marine life to observe.
