Seals and Sea Dragon Swim from Sorrento

8 Reviews

2 hours

Overview

This is a short wildlife snorkel trip from Sorrento Pier focused on two standout marine encounters: Australian fur seals and sea dragons in their natural habitat. It includes wetsuits, snorkelling gear, guided activities, lunch and refreshments, so you do not need to organise much beyond getting there. At AUD175, it is more of a special outing than a cheap filler activity, but it packs a lot into a half-day-friendly timeslot.

Free cancellation

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Why backpackers love it

It is an easy way to do a proper wildlife experience without needing your own gear or a full-day commitment. Having wetsuits, snorkelling equipment, food and drinks included keeps the planning simple and helps you judge the real cost upfront. It also suits travellers staying around the Mornington Peninsula who want something more memorable than another beach day, even if it sits above the usual backpacker budget.

What to expect

You will depart from Sorrento Pier for around two hours of boating and snorkelling. Once out on the water, the trip centres on getting in for guided snorkelling sessions where you may swim near Australian fur seals and look for sea dragons. Equipment is provided, and there may also be optional presentations from qualified naturalists for extra context on the local marine life. After your time in the water, lunch and hot drinks are included. The experience is listed as suitable for all physical fitness levels, and public transport is available nearby.
