We got to see stacks of seals on Ile des Phoques (Isle of seals) from the boat. I especially enjoyed seeing all the animals on Maria Island during our walk. The wombats were amazing to see up close especially since their babies had just left their mother’s pouches. The lunch on the boat was great too.

I want to preface this review by saying up front that this was one of the best tours we took over the course of an extended trip in Australia. The guides were fabulous, the views were breathtaking, and the overall experience was wild. However, I also want to give a caveat to anyone thinking of booking this tour. This is a boat tour in a part of the world with unpredictable weather and swells. We were able to circumnavigate Maria Island, but Ile Des Phoques and the Rainbow Cave were nixed due to conditions, and parts of the tour saw 10 foot swells and high wind speeds in some parts. Our captain handled the conditions with aplomb, and we felt very safe during those times, and the company very generously made up for the conditions and changes in plans, but just be aware these things can happen. With that out of the way, WOW! Maria Island is one of the most gorgeous and photo-worthy places I've ever seen. There were so many fantastic views of the Fossil Cliffs and Painted Cliffs, along with dozens of fascinating nooks and crannies all over the island that were only accessible by boat. It just felt so special seeing all of those places, plus we had an added bonus of seals and really neat sea birds at certain stopping points. As for the island itself, one of our guides affectionately referred to it as "Wombat World" and it was definitely a moment of truth in advertising. Just off the paths on the island, we saw numerous wombats, pademelons, wallabies, and even an echidna! There were also a number of interesting historical facts and structures around the island that added to the tour in really unexpected ways. So, overall, I highly highly highly recommend this tour, but just be aware that circumstances beyond everyone's control can sometimes pop up and cause a change of plans. I can't and won't hold that against anyone, but I think it's worth knowing when you book.
