Brett’s Awesome Sea Lion Adventure
February 20, 2022 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
We could not resist going out for another swim with the sea lions. With their island home being so close and assessable it would be wrong not to and wow, there were two sea lions who were up for a play today. It was bloody awesome, we all had the best time, somersaulting, diving and swimming with these two very energetic sea lions.

Once they had had enough we began to feel the cold and jumped back in the boat. Once we got changed, more and more sea lions begun to swim over to the boat for a play, but by this time were were freezing and slightly exhausted from the none stop playing/swimming. We felt bad leaving but went over to view the pups playing in the rock pools. As we go closer we could hear the mums yelling at their pups. Just like normal children the pups yelled back 😂😂😂, but also seemed to be ignoring their calls and not returning to their mums.

What an epic experience.Read more

Day 20
Swim with the Sea Lions/ Dolphins tour
November 17, 2022 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
What an amazing tour. Swim with the Sea Lions and dolphins at Baird Bay. We had wanted to do this for a very long time and was not disappointed. This tour delivered everything it promised and more.
Leaving the shore at 9:30 and heading out to Jones island about a 15 minute boat ride, we arrived at the area where we were to swim in the sea pool with the seals. Before we could even get into the water the seals come out from the island (approx 50-70m) to play. At times the 10 of us had about 10+ seals to play with. The more we played the more they played. Several even giving me kisses on my mask!
They were just like puppies, playing around with us, so much fun.
Eventually we headed back onto the boat to go across the other side of the bay where the dolphins hang out. As soon as we got there the word was out, dolphins, quick in the water. So in we went where a pod of approx 15 dolphins swam around and under us for about 15 minutes, they loved swimming very close and giving eye contact!
The weather was warm and waters so clear making it a terrific day for the trip.
Lunch on the beach again and another big beach walk where there were some beautiful shells made the day just wonderful.Read more
