About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- A6350VCcathym0 contributionsTerrible businessI can't believe these people run a business. Had our first booking cancelled because they decided they didn't have enough people booked (fine print said nothing about this), re organised all our accommodation and holidays and re booked. Received an email confirming the day before then when we turned up 7.30 in the morning we were told the tour was cancelled again! Extremely poor business ethics.Written 19 April 2022
- 902geoff0 contributionsDisappointing end to a fantastic adventure.We recently stay for 3 nights on The Sea Shack at the Abrolhos islands. Staff were very welcoming and made us all feel welcome from the moment we stepped of the plane. In true Batavia coast style the wind was up but living in the area we were aware of what the conditions could be like. Even with the weather not playing nice a vast array of sightseeing, snorkeling and fishing was offered, along with fantastic food and company. We did manage to get a couple of fishing trips in and prior to leaving we were assured by email that we could keep the fish we caught. On the day we left myself and another guest were asked if we would fillet the fish and that it would be divided up amongst the guests. Well that was not the case. We ended up with two fillets of fish each and a couple of Cray tails, with the rest of the fish going into the freezer on the boat.Very disappointing after catching 10 nice fish and being asked to also rig lines and help out on the boat. I had messaged family and friends while onboard saying that they need to do this charter. Knowing that some of these people wouldn't be as polite as myself not taking home the fish they caught I have since advised against doing the trip.Written 3 March 2022
- soniasD1001HZ0 contributionsAmazing Abrohlos adventuresWe have just returned from a 3 night trip with these guys. Had an amazing time with so much to do and see. Food was excellent and never ending. Being cealiac it is always a worry but Tori did an excellent job and I was completely fine. Letitia and Sharky worked incredibly hard on the boating trips and were always fun to be around. Having local wines and produce on board was a bonus. Would highly recommend. The Abrohlos is an amazing place.Written 3 March 2022
- Dean K0 contributionsThe Number 1 Day Trip from Geraldton!A fantastic day out. Very professional and friendly staff gave clear instructions and were great hosts. The range of activities on offer made for an action packed day with something for everyone. Great food for lunch and a healthy selection of beverages to enjoy at the bar.Written 23 October 2021
- MarkN19770 contributionsExceeded our expectationsWe took a class group of 40 teenagers for a day with Abrolhos Adventures. From the first correspondence to arriving back at Geraldton port we experienced nothing but professional, friendly and caring service. The boat is very well appointed and comfortable. All snacks, meals supplied and a bar is open on return trip. Activities range from walks to paddle boards to snorkelling to tours in a smaller tender. Highly recommend. We will be back!Written 16 July 2021

- S8578XJtraceyc0 contributionsSuper experience!Thank you for a great day out ! The staff were so helpful and provided first class service. Others in town should get there customer service training from this operator. It was a little rough crossing but staff constantly checked on guests. The crystal clear waters were stunning and the Island pristine! Food served on board was great and nothing too much trouble!!Written 5 May 2021
- hayleytX732MI0 contributionsHorrible trip!Worst trip I've been on!! The weather was horrible, yet the trip went ahead! So was expecting it still to be a good trip, as they did not cancelled it. Was meant to be a 3 day fishing charter. Ended up just being moored up the whole time. Fishing in the shallows from a tinnie when we were allowed to fish. The Tinnie had no safety equipment. What fish we did catch was used for dinner & we went home with nothing. Tried calling & emailing and get no response. Worst trip & so disappointing. Would not recommend abrolhos adventures.Written 21 April 2021
- leonieb5550 contributionsFast ferry to Abrolhos IslandsEnjoyed a fantastic day out. Staff were exceptional and looked after everyone so well. Morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and access to the bar, it was impossible to feel hungry. Access to explore the islands as well as SUP and snorkeling. Would recommend this to all ages.Written 30 December 2020
- Faultless7770 contributionsFaultless.....The Best!!!!!I have been looking for an ocean experience for my elderly dad who is also not very mobile. I found Abrolhos Adventures online and I cannot express how much I was impressed with the kind and considerate manner in which they cared for my dad! They helped him on and off the boat with no bother at all and shared lots of laughs with him. He LOVED it. They also sent us home with an esky full of crayfish!! I cannot fault this company and what they offer. I love the fact that they are looking out for the locals as well as the tourists. If you have visitors to town then this is the perfect experience to take them on.......at a great price too! We are now booked to take my dad on a Whale Watching experience! Can't wait to see that smile on his face again! Give them a try.....you Won't be disappointed!!!Written 15 October 2020
- PEGroup0 contributionsPot pullThe father in law & I joined the crew (Gavin & Carl) for a 1-2hr pull of the X-rays pots. Col (f.i.l) uses a walker to assist his mobility, and due to this, the guys suggested taking the boat to an easier ingress and egress point at a public jetty. We motored our to where the pots were, and laughed and carried on as one after another craypots were hauled aboard and divested of multiple (legal!) crays. After the see-sawing over the swell, and back at land sharing out the catch, the team at AA were very accommodating and showed us over the whale watching boat. With a coffee!! Needless to say, we are booked on that boat for Saturday.Written 13 October 2020

- gerogirl0 contributionsWow!Today I experienced the complete package with Abrolhos Adventures. The location - scenery and wildlife beyond belief. Facilities are first class and food was fresh and delicious. Activities offer options for all ages and best of all with no extra surcharges like on many other trips like this in other parts of the world. The staff are knowledgeable, caring and incredibly friendly. They go out of their way to check on all and to cater to everyone’s needs. Well done Abrolhos Adventures! Highly recommend as an adventure of a lifetime opportunity.Written 1 October 2020

I went with my mum and dad. The staff were excellent especially getting older less mobile people on and off the boat. We spent a day on national park island. Amazing bird life. The bar on the boat was excellent after hours in the sun. To top of the day was the whale watching on the way home. It was a great day on a great boat. Do it!!

A Geraldton MUST DO.
I wish I could give more than 5 stars for my experience.
Myself and my 2 kids (5 and 3) went over on this magnificent ferry for the day. It was absolutely incredible.
The staff were knowledgable, friendly, approachable, caring and professional. The vessel is pristine, spacious, well decked out and comfortable. The kids had plenty of room to play on the way over and back. There was ample food, all provided. And a nice cold glass of bubbles on the way home was just perfect.
The islands themselves was nothing short of paradise. Crystal clear water, beautiful snorkelling, amazing marine life (birds, dolphins, whales, seals and more) sandy beaches.
Shade, chairs, SUPS, snorkels all provided for a fun, relaxing, easy day on the beach.
Thank you Abrolhos adventures for an excellent school holiday family day out. We'll be back!!

This is one of the best tours I have been on, and there has been quite a few. Exceptionally well managed, professional and friendly crew, led by Ashley.
The vessel was very well maintained, the food is plentiful, and the tap beer is very cold... perfect after a day on the beach with a large number of activities well catered for. Nothing was too much trouble for the crew and all of the equipment was is perfect order.
This was a highly enjoyable day, and a great was to see and experience the Abrolhos Islands. Highly recommended tour.

If you cant get out of WA, then go for a look around WA and check out Abrolhos Islands.
This is a great value you for money day trip.
You get a beautiful cruise on the ferry to the island, paddle boarding, snorkelling, speed boat rides, 3 meals (morning tea, lunch and afternoon) and more.
The staff are friendly and will take extra good care of you if you get boat sick and want you to have the best day.
The boat even has a bar if you want a tipple on the way home.

Amazing day to the Abrolhos Islands. The staff were very friendly and the food was great. There was lots to do when we got to the island. You could go on the speedboat which was heaps of fun, snorkeling, stand up paddle board, go for a walk to see bird life, watch the seals, spot dolphins and whales from the ferry.

You know you have a had a great day when you are still thinking of it the next day. Thank you #AbrolhosAdventures Ashley, and team. You really know how to create a great experience. If this is the future of our Geraldton tourism you do us proud.
Dr Howard Grays presence onboard added to value of the experience. His dedication to the history of the Houtman Abrolhos Islands and the Batavia story is immense. Backed up by local Marine Biologist Aletta Bussenschutt guiding us through the geology of the area. This all accounted for a WOW day for all.
Of course, the fauna stole the show! osprey, eagles, sea lions, dolphins and the migrating humpback whales. We were stationary for a little while and their curious natures bought them closer to the ferry.
