Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ticket or is a mobile ticket accepted?
A mobile ticket is fine. Simply show your booking confirmation on your phone when you board at The Jetty.
Will I definitely see seals?
Seal Rocks is home to a permanent colony of thousands of Australian fur seals, so sightings are virtually certain. Wildlife behaviour is always natural and unscripted, but the colony is there year-round.
Is the cruise suitable for young children?
Yes — the cruise is a popular choice for families. Children should be supervised on deck, and it is worth bringing a warm layer for younger ones as sea breezes can be cool.
What should I wear or bring?
Dress in layers; even on warm days it can be noticeably cooler on the water. Bring sunglasses, sunscreen and a camera. Refreshments are provided on board.
Where exactly does the cruise depart from?
The cruise departs from The Jetty on The Esplanade in Cowes, Phillip Island. Cowes is roughly 140 km southeast of Melbourne city centre.
Can I cancel if my plans change?
