Departing from the Granite Island Causeway, a scenic cruise takes you along the northern side of Granite Island past the Horse Tram route and historic Screwpile Jetty and around the breakwater into the open ocean.

A further 5 minutes of exhilarating motoring and you are at Seal Rock, where New Zealand Fur seals and Australian Sea Lions can be seen basking in the sun and often swim to the stationary boat to have a good look at the passengers! Seabirds including petrels, shearwaters and cormorants can also be seen on or around Seal Rock.

Common and bottlenose dolphins are also often in the vicinity and sometimes race the boat. After about 15 minutes of viewing the wildlife and beautiful scenery at Seal Rock and around Wright Island, The Big Duck returns to the Granite Island Causeway landing.

Seal Island Tour

It was a great tour. We saw dolphins, seals, seal lion and birds. It was a great view of the area on the water. Great commentary along the way. Would do the tour again.
