Other marine life species often spotted on this trip include seals, penguins, dolphins, sharks, sunfish ,and numerous marine birds.

High Speed Thrill Ride: This 90-minute ride is sure to leave you breathless! A high-speed jet boat ride across to the sparkling beaches of Clifton is a heart-racing experience that packs in a whole lot of excitement.
