It was a great trip, all the staff were friendly and helpful, the boat was comfortable and the commentary was both entertaining and informative. We felt very lucky to see seals on the way to ships cove and dusky dolphins both on the way and on the return trip. The walk from ships cove to furneaux lodge was straightforward and very scenic. Would highly recommend boat trip and walk.
