There were plenty of laughs and a few screams on the first official practice run of a the new EcoBoat tour operating at Victoria’s famous Phillip Island.
Phillip Island Nature Parks has joined forces with John Dickie, the island’s long-time local boat tour operator, to offer tours in a high speed boat resulting in a quicker trip to a few of Phillip Island’s most popular attractions, including Seal Rocks and the Nobbies.
At the same time John is continuing to run his well-known Wildlife Coast Cruises. These cruises are in a bigger boat, take more time and include complimentary morning and afternoon tea.
As my trip to the island coincided with this first run of the new tour, I was invited, along with the staff from the Phillip Island Nature Park, to try it out.
While there are likely to be some modifications, as our timing seemed to be somewhere between the 60 minute EcoBoat Express tour and the 90 minute EcoBoat Adventure tour, the trip was great fun combining wildlife watching with a roller coaster ride across the waves.
